More about the book
The Chieftain represents a significant advancement in tank design, evolving from the Centurion line post-World War II. Developed in response to the inadequacies of British tanks against German counterparts, it features robust protection and a formidable 120 mm rifled gun. However, this emphasis on heavy armor results in reduced mobility, primarily due to engine power constraints, marking a notable trade-off in its overall performance.
