A modernized Chieftain Mk.5 sold to Jordan in late 1970s after the Islamic Revolution in Iran spoiled the original sales to Iran; thanks to a new 1200 hp engine, it now enjoys better overall mobility over its predecessors in UK service while utilizing the fire control system from later Mk.10s. But players have to beware of its not-so-effective protection and only APDS is available for Khalid.

For gamers who have already been long-time players of the UK tech tree, Khalid looks exactly like any other Chieftains plus a panoramic periscope with NVD and digital camo. As the tank is based on Chieftain Mk 5, the appearance and the overall dimensions are totally identical where they both shared a curved, cast hull armor and casted turret; protection-wise, it might be sufficient at earlier tiers at around 8.3 where it will face some kinetic shells from "doomsday tank" or earliest APDS shells- this is not the case for Khalid as it now sits at 9.0 where HEATs are commonplace and APFSDS as well. The hull armor might sometimes do miracles on shots that falls onto the armor at extreme angles, but it will most likely be penetrated with some extent of damages to the tank; while the turret itself has around 280 mm of armor at its thickest point which might not sound much, the irregular shape of the turret does help to bounce off oncoming shells at longer ranges and in hull-down position. Although the internal components seem packed, chances are the shrapnel will only be enough to take out the driver and damage some components, the tank itself would still survive that shot and having the chance to return fire.

The Chieftain series are known for their rather sluggish mobility and top speed (at only 48 km/h), but in Khalid's case, since the export version for Chieftains opted for the latest Rolls-Royce (later Perkins) CV-12 engine and TN-34 transmission which would eventually used on FV4030 Challengers, this means a vastly improvement on its mobility; not only this can push the tank at a higher top speed at 56 km/h with higher acceleration, this also makes it the fastest MBT in reverse at its tier (at -37 km/h), making it surprisingly flexible for enemy encounters.

Although the L11A5 and its caliber at 120 mm has been the weapon of choice for Chieftain, which was one of the most advanced tanks of its era, but this is not the case for the Khalid. Since the overall upgrades on Khalid focus on the FCS, the gun laying mechanism is totally identical to its tech-tree predecessors, players might find this problematic as this gives less reaction time than its other NATO counterparts; but the relatively high rate of fire does migrate some gun-handling problems, but it is best to keep extra situational awareness for best utilization.

Description

The Khalid (FV4030/2) is a premium rank VI British medium tank with a battle rating of 9.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Apex Predators".

A modernized Chieftain Mk.5 sold to Jordan in late 1970s after the Islamic Revolution in Iran spoiled the original sales to Iran. Thanks to a new 1,200 hp engine, it now enjoys better overall mobility over its predecessors in UK service while utilizing the fire control system from later Mk.10s. But players have to beware of its not-so-effective protection and only APDS is available for Khalid.

Note: Khalid (lit. eternal) is a common name in Arabic World and not to be confused with the Al-Khalid MBT of Pakistan

The Khalid looks exactly like any other Chieftain plus a panoramic periscope with NVD and digital camo. As the tank is based on Chieftain Mk 5, the appearance and the overall dimensions are totally identical where they both shared a curved, cast hull armour and cast turret; protection-wise, it might be sufficient at earlier tiers where it will face some kinetic shells from "doomsday tank" or earliest APDS shells- this is not the case for Khalid as it now sits at a BR where HEATs are commonplace and APFSDS as well. The hull armour might sometimes do miracles on shots that falls onto the armour at extreme angles, but it will most likely be penetrated with some extent of damages to the tank; while the turret itself has around 280 mm of armour at its thickest point which might not sound much, the irregular shape of the turret does help to bounce off oncoming shells at longer ranges and in hull-down position. Although the internal components seem packed, chances are the shrapnel will only be enough to take out the driver and damage some components, the tank itself would still survive that shot and having the chance to return fire.

Although the L11A5 and its calibre at 120 mm has been the weapon of choice for Chieftain, which was one of the most advanced tanks of its era, but this is not the case for the Khalid. Since the overall upgrades on Khalid focus on the FCS, the gun laying mechanism is totally identical to its tech-tree predecessors, players might find this problematic as this gives less reaction time than its other NATO counterparts; but the relatively high rate of fire does migrate some gun-handling problems, but it is best to keep extra situational awareness for best utilization.

To conclude, Khalid has rather obsolete firepower for its tier; but aiming carefully or take flanks can still make good use of the gun.

L15A3 APDS- The most common round for British 120 mm for pre-Challenger tanks and the only kinetic shell option for Khalid; although it is more than enough to take down most tanks which happened to ran into Khalid, but at its current tier at 9.0 where T-64A and T-72A appear, the shell is very likely does nothing to them without hitting LFP or driver's hatch. So aim carefully for a one-hit kill as APDS has lesser spalling.

L31A7 HESH- The other common round for British 120 mm up to this date, the shell itself has rather high penetration for a HESH shell and any hits from it will very likely disintegrate any light vehicles that happened to ran into Khalid; alternatively this also gives Khalid the chance to take down tanks with their hatches exposed as the shell "sticks" to the surface and cause extensive damage to the interior of enemy tanks, either from spalling or overpressure.

Although smoke grenade comes stock with Khalid (premium), there is still an option for gun-launched smoke shells to block enemy's eyesight and sometimes TVD cameras in case for a retreat or changing position.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Overall better mobility over previous Chieftains thanks to the new power pack
  • High gun depression for the main cannon
  • Access to a panoramic periscope for commander with override capabilities
  • The hull and cast turret's shape can sometimes bounce off incoming shots

Cons:

  • Lacks any form of composite armour to negate HEAT shells
  • Relatively obsolete protection at its BR
  • Fixed 8x gunsight that could be a problem at long-range engagements
  • No APFSDS shot for its main cannon
  • Rather large size at its tier
  • Relatively slow gun traverse speed

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
