With the production starting in the 1960s and ending in 1978, several hundred units were built for the British and export markets. The Chieftain remained in service until 1995 and saw combat primarily in the Middle East, albeit not in British hands. Iran made extensive use of this MBT, even though the results were debatable due to the poor training of Iranian troops. However, during its heyday, the vehicle was considered to be the world's most powerful tank until it was dethroned by the Leopard 2 during the 1980s. The Chieftain Mk.2 was the initial production variant of this MBT. It was the first truly mass-produced early variant of the Chieftain MBT with around 500 built from the early 1960s. Two of these tanks were tested by the Israelis but the deal collapsed following the rise of anti-Israeli sentiments in Britain. ==Vehicle Traits== *Armored: This vehicle's armor can withstand a lot of punishment, allowing it to survive even serious firefights. *Heavy Weapon: This vehicle carries one of the largest weapons around with significantly increased damage per shot. *HESH Rounds: This vehicle can fire special Squash Head rounds. These are extremely effective against angled armor that is typical for Soviet tanks. {{Clear}} ==Ammunition== {| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; text-align:center;" ! style="display:none" | # !
