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
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.
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
So you use yotubers video to prove your point.
Whos sources for the accuracy of the gun, are from the chieftain, a tank that is from 1966 and its accuracy tests.
Meanwhile In the real world, teh challanger again is being touted as highly accurate, and even won the Iron spear competition against the abrams and leopards that were there. so yeah it is an accurate gun, the tanks accuracy isnt its issue.
Also most youtubers (if not all) are heavily biased, especially red effect if he likes a tank, hell shout its amazing, if he dislikes it, facts regardless (as shown in the linked video) he will try find a way to say it sucks, e.g using the chieftains accuracy charts from decades previous to the challanger 2 to try say that the tank is innacurate.
you do realise on the chieftain as well it had about a 97% first shot hit rate as well in trials, go watch the tank chats from the bovington tank museum on it. or better go see it yourself!.
(they can be biased as well)
The fact is, the tank gun mounted on teh challanger 2 is not identical to the chieftain cannon at all, even ingame they have different names.
The challanger 2 tank is a highly accurate tank. that was never questioned.
