Should You Buy The Challenger DS (2024)

[@trol9926]

god said let there be light, then let there be the challenger

[@hagridflower2907]

Because, as opposed to the light, it's heavy

[@Illopportunity248]

Heavy ass tank

[@jspene]

It’s one of my favorite vehicles and my most played tank in the game. Fits well in the amazing 10.3 Britain lineup, especially after the L26 buff.

[@OperatorJackYT]

I mean, the Challenger DS is the only premium I have and it has gotten me through the entire British ground tech tree, so It's got to be doing something right

[@raz_hz]

Fr. I reached a plateau after hitting the centurion mark 10 and could not be bothered to research anything else up until last year, when I got myself the rooikat 105 and DS on sale. Shot straight through the ranks and recently bought my chally 3. Great tank.

[@Minebrawlzzz]

Now it's got L26 it's awesome

[@basementkidd6818]

@@raz_hz Is the Rooikat 105 really obtainable anymore? I don´t seem to find it anywhere

[@hugo8851]

In terms of looks the challenger 1 looks like a no nonsense war machine much like the T72-T90 series of tanks which makes the British BR 10.3 with the Bhishma T90S and Challenger 1 one of my favourite lineups in game.

DS gets L26 - M1 KVT Suffers with M774

[@Illopportunity248]

Type 16 suffers

[@nemezorargon2597]

so i knew about the story behind the Challanger program, but i really like that you added a history section for the Chally anyways

[@TomPrickVixen]

The fact that it finally has a good reverse speed (after the Khalid) was godsend after suffering trough half rank 6 with the Centurions!

[@Fear_Naught]

I love you so much, I've been searching for a review for this thing for absolutely ages and was about to give up. This is why i'm subbed.

[@SilentButDudley]

It’s better than ever now that it has L26 and sits at 10.3. That 10.3 lineup is beefy.

[@michaelthebarbarian3380]

Coolest looking tank of all time IMHO and a hell of an MBT IRL.

[@Derguz]

"Don't be big and brave like the rest of the idiots on your team".... Best advice for a new War Thunder player I've ever heard (and yes - I just recently started playing WT)..

[@tex4523]

The Chally DS was pretty good before, i used it for most of the British tech tree. Now with L26 it is an absolute beast. I used to run the 10.0 version with the Chally mk3 10.3 anyway. Now that it has the same round and its the same br its just as capable.

[@rachan_hd8427]

I wanted to buy it in the may sales but I paid full price because I had been waiting all year for it and I approved to buy the rooikat 105 right now I have the full line up of pure premium and the t90

[@Illopportunity248]

That's a mistake, you could have waited till the summer sale or buyed the rooikat instead

[@partyparrot168]

It is such a shame this wasn’t on sale this time.

[@musclemuseIAINrock]

Thank you for the review. It certainly helps me to make a decision and finally give the British tank tree a go! Maxed out aircraft so this should be fun 😁

[@Disbandeddeath1]

Im glad i picked up the ds when it went on sale on xbox

[@rickyspanish5825]

Tea and biscuits Thanks for the review!

[@rickyspanish1590]

I concur!

[@WarshipMolester]

I use this tank as a backup to the OES

[@Illopportunity248]

I should have bought this instead of the type 16 fps in the recent sale

[@raph59799]

Got to love some British biscuits 😅

[@Exequor1]

Well, i watched few of yours videos, because i kinda got very confused grinding up (im 4 nations on 10+ BR) i know, i should know more after 1k hours gameplay. AND im always intrested on buying premium vehicles, while i have many, to help me progress faster. And i was asking myself, am i mad buying them? So i found your chanel, and i must say im enjoying it very much. U deserve more recognition on work you do in all of the videos. Thank you for all info! Helped alot.

If this tanks has problems why should I even buy it when you can buy the Centurion Mk 5 AVRE?

after the buffed ammo its a dream premium

Should you buy Anyway here's "some" history 👍👍✨

[@margay34]

Calling the chally a modernized chieftain is like saying a modern 911 is just a modernized VW Bug

[@Mannskas]

I mean it kinda is

[@jimbot.4539]

That’s exactly what it is though.

[@Nebulachadlazzar]

But should I get the Challenger 2 OES

[@CopeAndSeeth]

Oh HELL nah

[@SAKOSNIPER]

NO!

[@thatoneguy1741]

Call me a psychopath but I honestly don’t mind the OES lol

[@bfsix_seven_nine_three6279]

for me it is by far the worst premium at this BR range. especially after they bumped it up to 10.3... It really has no place in 10.3 other than being a target for the other team. its slow, very badly armoured and extremely loud. I mean the italian ariete P has essentially the same firepower with the DM33 round. but at least its semi fast and the turret armor seems to work much better than the armour on the DS:..... Dont buy it, unless you are a masochist and a hardcore Challenger fan (as I am).

[@carlofasano4293]

L26 is appreciated

[@allenhacker1490]

Tea and biscuits

[@stevenhannweg1644]

Should u buy the chally DS? No Why? U get the chally 2 cheaper when u dont count the GE and prem time from the pack DS

[@SAKOSNIPER]

OES is trash 10.3 UK is a far better lineup

[@grocer1es]

Its a british tank so not worth it

[@jameselliott5360]

😊

[@pierreabrie9445]

It's not worth buy. You'll face non stop and I mean non stop full 1.0 - 0.7 uptier. I have played over 100 games an all uptier with only one recored full downtier. It is enough to go insane.

[@DavidTheConkerer]

Raaar!
