the thing with the merkava is that ur turret armor can get penned easily when irl it isnt realisic. Meaning even if only your turret is exposed, someone can still get a shot out and maybe take out your loader or commander(maybe even gunner). At least Britain has the chali 3 with dm53 as an alternative until the chali 2 gets fixed, but all mk4’s face the same problem with the unrealistic armor.
They don’t and wont accept videos as proof as they can be sped up and what not.
But the challanger 2 past the first 5 rounds for me with a fully leveled crew in loading and what not (not expert on the BN or 2E) with expert on the challanger 2 its about 7.6 seconds. witout its over 8 seconds reload with a fully level crew

yeah exactly, minor nations that really need a buff rarely get one because gajin usually only buffs russia or usa. USA for example isnt a bad lineup , just the teams are the problem, not the tanks. No matter how many bug reports are made, gajin seems to not care for now unless that nation has good premium sales.

the challanger 2 (and 3) face the exact same issue with the turret, its breach spot its absolutely massive, and as has been proved the commander and gunner sit literally to high in the tank meaning you can shoot the optics at almost any range and take them both out.
The merkava with the 5 seconds reload, and better mobility over all, and turret traverse etc is better than teh challanger 2 and 3.
They both need fixed as i said, but rn the challanger 2 is left behind even the merkavas and arietes are better.
they accept videos from official websites of the tanks manufacters. You can send them the link to the website where you got the videos and they can check it themselves.
i just got the M1A2, brother why it sits at 11.7 is beyond me, even with m829 it trumps all the challanger 2s at 11.7 (and almost every other 11.7)
the american vehicles are great. the players not so much

they rejected the ones for the type10 reload, leclerc reload (if i remember rightly) and challanger 2 reloads.
As far as i know as well the two ammo bins next to the driver on teh challanger 2 cant exist due to the change of the interior are also there.
I don’t think you understand exactly why the Challenger hasn’t been exported; while the leopard has.
The Challenger isn’t even Aguably close to the best Western MBT. It has the worst mobility, requires extensive maintenance, and the worst accuracy of all the Western MBT’s.
I’m not even saying that out of spite; it’s just rubbish.

i can understand breach, but the merkavas face the same thing, the turret cheeks can get penned easily by all top tier rounds, the turret cheeks even have a recent bug where he can kill the vehicle easily. The entire front plate of a merkava can get penned easily and along with that the merkavas already have bad gun depression, making them bad for hill peaks, along with that merkavas have the engine in the front to help with crew survivability(it doesnt do any favor in WT), meaning the engine in the front only hurts and doesn’t even help like it should.
Overall the best thing we can do is pray that gajin hears us

the main thing the chali 2 has going for it is its armor, which in wt isn’t realistic at all
they probably didn’t accept those videos because they may have not been from the official websites
theres audio too and very obvious that it wasn’t sped up, however it was loading from the closest charge bustle to the loader, its not so easy from the further ones.
where did i say it was the best western MBT? at all. It has great cross country performance (for its size and weight as ive said) due to the sophisticated hydrogas suspension, which has been proven to be highly effective.
It has the worst accuracy?
almost every report on the CR2 cannon has its accuracy being top notch , the issue isnt the accuracy the issue is the fact that it wears faster than smoothbore counterparts, and has laughably worse penetration in its darts due to the 3 stage ammunition.
That’s about it though, everything else is still pretty lackluster for it.
yes, but its made to be an armor fortress, probably better than other mbts in game rn in terms of armor
Yes, it’s hot garbage; it’s literally all because it’s a rifled bore.
8 second reload for it past the first 5 rounds isnt accurate at all.
Theres a massive list of bug reports that Morvan made
and legwolf which is a bit older. Proving that the tank is horrifically misrepresented in game.

Again a source for that? even the ukrainians using it are praising its accuracy over the tanks they have, calling it “a sniper among tanks” i believe is the quote.
Its accuracy is again one of its key good points. I get the tank isnt some indestructible wonder weapon that folks want it to be. (No tank is) Yet people believe it to be absolutely useless xD which it also isnt
Sad thing is, that we mostly stopped doing reports at this point. The CR2 blog was such a middle finger most of us simply gave up.

Yes, accurate compared to Cold War T-Tank stocks:
