I tested out the two tanks from Burnes Armories and was pretty impressed. Find them at:

CHALLENGER

I have made a basic tank gunnery range, using the Challenger, along similar lines to its equivalent in SteelBeasts, which can be downloaded here:

The mission obviously requires the Challenger mod as well as AGM for the ballistics which is available here:
AGM MOD
http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=25779 (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=25779)
The enemy vehicles are all from the RHS Escalation Mods, which should need no further introduction.
There is an indestructible range officer on a tower who can call in targets. Otherwise just use "Next Target" from the radio menu. Find a battle position orienting East on the edge of the salt plain. The targets are all heading west across the salt plain.
There are currently 4 different vehicles and 4 different routes, giving 16 combinations. I can easily jack this up to 10*10 for 100 and could add airborne targets and infantry platoons, if there is interest.
This is a preliminary to see if the group wants to use the two Burnes tank mods to do really small mechanized infantry missions in Arma 3.
Feedback appreciated.

Challenger seems to be a bullet proof tank killer, like the Leo in SB and pretty damn fast too. The main issues I had in testing tonight were (1) optics range even with view distance maxed out at 12000 - didn't get a lase above 2000, (2) lack of ballistics computer - so back to ww2 shoot and adjust onto target.
Pretty hopeless with the ai, but look forward to testing it in multi-crew.
The loader's .50 cal is pretty effective against infantry out to over 1000m.
