First match of Ajax since the BMPT change and damn, its actually a fun IFV. Still needs different zoom settings though

it always was, but when the BMPT is in sight it ruined it, and that wasn’t a unique thing to the to the Ajax

sadly using the current method of assigning gunner sight zooms its not possible

if they change it, or make an exception (they won’t) we can get 4x-16x or something, i can’t remember what exactly, which is fairly decent, though 16x far too powerful

What’s happened to 540lb bomb? Been having absolutely no success dropping them on light targets from strikemaster, even in the event of a direct hit. At most crits, but half the time does nothing.

They nerfed most, if not all bombs I think. Ive been having just as bad success with 1000lb bombs on the Buc

Why? 150kg of TNT to the roof of a muppet is turning it to shrapnel, even a near miss ought to. At this point there might as well be no cost to bringing them.

No idea, Gaijin being Gaijin. Dont think missile warheads got nerfed though, so you know… KH-38MT is still a mini-nuke

Kh38, AGM 65, AASM, all of which have comparable or lower high explosive equivalent.

Shit’s infuriating. It did not warrant a nerf, at most it warranted the addition of new AA, y’know, how the problem was addressed at toptier.

Yup. I have no idea what they were thinking

Would note that being taken out by incredibly inaccurate bombs from American 1,000lb. About 15m off, still getting taken out. But drop the 540 on the roof, nothing.

Sounds about right :D

this is anecdotal but:
I’ve found direct hits to be incredibly unreliably unreliable, always aim for the sides etc

Cause its main developer and development was for germany.
The official sources show that it was developed, built, tested and as a main goal advertised towards germany.
Its shown of as a rheinmetall vehicle and released under rheinmetall.

For the britains no official source is stated.
Half a year before the challenger 130 the challenger 2 120 LEP was shown of with a 130mm round, so its likely it was shown secondarily to the UK as well.
But under gajins own rules, it has more connections to germany

Like we have been though before there was British interest shown by them allowing there test bed Challenger that they owned that was designed to be refitted with the 130mm gun to be fitted with the 130mm gun

Acting like the British has zero interest or care and the Germans just did for them (it was to show the gun off not even the tank the only nation interested in the tank were the nation that owned it)

I mean, i did state already it was likely shown of towards the british as well and that they had intrest.
I dont know what you are talking about.
If you read trough what i actualy write, it might help you

Main goal specialy stated still is towards germany and france

I mean, you can claim what u want.
But i only quote the official sources and release information.

No you took two unrelated sentence from a interview and put them together

The Challenger 2 ATD was shown off with 130mm as an option and then after the UK mod gave clearance that very same tank was fitted with the 130mm and shown off

It is quite obvious they had intrest since they were the ones who paid of the ATD and paid for the British crew to drive it and paid to maintain it and still have the tank to this day.

It is not argument to say the gun is for the MGSC programme and only for that and for Germany when a few months before the Challenger 130mm they were showing it for the Challenger 3

That is where the gun was only for a German project falls apart because it clearly wasn’t

So go cope about Italy shouldn’t get the KF-51 that they helped devolp and actually ordered

oh for christ’s sake can we shelve the challenger 130 arguments already? its already taken over the CR3 technical discussion thread, we don’t need it here as well.

I did state that

Well yeah. The chally 130 still is a different project alltogether.

I am gonna remind you.
It is a rheinmetall germany project not a RBSL project for a reason. How do you justify this?

The challenger 130 is a tech demonstrator fpr the 130mm, a proof of concept that is advertised towards germany. That is the official statement.
Thats why its released as rheinmetall and not rbsl as well

That you cant realise its not a RBSL project is sad.

seriously, make a new thread or take it to DMs.

I am not the one denying it was developed for both british and germany lol
