And with CR2 the army now has a tank built for combat that can also win competitions.

Being able to shoot is nice, but knowing the terrain, etc., without the other side knowing also matters. It ain't always a case of "dead men tell no tales."

Re: British Army Order of Battle
Just a Warning Order…
Bernard and I are currently trying to get a grip on updating the ORBAT. A ton of documents have been released since TLW started, so things that were guessed at/like to have turned out somewhat differently from what was planned prior to IRL Wall Fall. So we are trying to reconcile some things to adapt them for TLW (Bernard I hope I did not mis-speak for you)
