I'm sure more experienced members can confirm, however I am certain that the Chally 2's Thales TOGS II fire control system does allow the tank commander to target and engage targets independently of the gunner's main sight.I am a tank entusiast and I was wondering if a challenger 2 tank commander can also fire the main gun instead of the gunner, like the M1 Abrams tank commander. can anyone help me?

The gun can indeed be controlled by the commander. The gun is under the control of the gunner until the commander identifies a target and aligns the gun to his CPS. If he doesn't release his grip it remains under his control. Once he releases his grip, he controls his CPS and gun is under the control of the gunner.Thank you !
He can also take sole command of the gun with a selection on his Fire Control Panel.
