Ectar: To quote directly from our website when The_Challenger was
introduced to our community: Richard was in the British Army
for almost 30 years in The Royal Tank Regiment. Mainly because he
liked the black beret so much. That’s what he’d tell you.
He started out as a Chieftain driver where he spent
more time covered in oil with his head in the back decks carrying
out repairs than actually driving, despite what the job description
said. “You had to love Chieftain”, he states. During his
years in service in the Royal Armored Corps he completed all his
Tank trades- Gunner, Loader and Commander as he progressed through
the ranks, serving on the Chieftain, Challenger 1 & 2 and Scorpion
in the Armoured Reconnaissance Role. He also spent two years as a
Gunnery Instructor teaching new Commanders and overseas students
whilst running live firing ranges in the UK and Germany. Being
passionate about military history, he later taught Armored Tactics
and worked closely with the General Staffs Briefing Team, headed at
that time by General Sir Mike Jackson. Richard has deployed on
numerous operations including “Op Telic” in Iraq, and has worked
alongside many of the Worlds Armed Forces. So yeah, he knows his
stuff about tanks. Attending Tankfest this year will be
myself, Obirian, iScending, The_Challenger, Hunter1911 and some
additional staff. We have something pretty cool lined
up. It's unlikely we'll be able to hold a Q&A like we recently
did at Arsenalen as we will be staffing the booth where visitors
can sit down and try to the game. Any one of us however should be
able to answer any questions that visitors to Tankfest have about
our games. (Or between us we should be able to get an answer). Bear
in mind however that some questions can only be answered directly
by developers (generally any questions about future content). As I
advise everyone at any Q&A session it's not that we personally
don't know the answer, it's that it's not our place to comment on
things like that as they are always subject to change and our
developers can change their plans from week to week. Looking
forward to meeting everyone who is going!
