Advantages:

Very fast speed and surprisingly good traverse (for a TD), can let it play a flanking role or fall back when in danger
Great gun depression of 10 degrees all around the tank
Good gun handling and accuracy lets even less experienced players nail shots frequently
Very fast RoF compensates for the horrible alpha damage
Has a turret and pivots unlike most TDs of same tier

Disadvantages:

Large size and thin armor makes you easy pickings for enemy tanks, especially arty
2nd turret has a mere 40mm of frontal armor (200mm on the back, which is rarely useful)
32pdr limits turret traverse to 60 degrees on either direction
Awful stock grind if coming straight from the Firefly as none of the guns are available

Tank description:

The Challenger is a British tier 7 turreted tank destroyer.Created in 1942 based on the extended chassis of the Cromwell. One definite advantage of the new vehicle was its 17-pounder gun, which was the most powerful British gun at that time. This allowed the tank destroyer to effectively hit the enemy at distances up to 1,000 meters. However, the vehicle had a large silhouette and the chassis was overloaded. A total of about 200 vehicles were built.It is often called one of the worst tier 7 tank Destroyers, although in actuality, once you are past the first gun and turret, it becomes a reasonable competitive vehicle as long as you play on a map with ample concealment. Under the right circumstances it can be used as either a sniper, or a flanker, though it is not ideal in either role.The Challenger leads to the Charioteer.
