Challanger 2 Armour and Reload

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:

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.

Yeah i noticed. the CR2 blog was a lip service that seemed to have just crushed all idea of a fair report on the tank.

While FCS makes a difference, the gun can still be simply inaccurate.

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.

No, that’s wrong. Routinely wins NATO gunnery competitions.
