Challenger 1 MBT - Technical Data and Discussions

you’d bloody hope so
goes some way to explaining how i got gaijined

change team

We already tested the mk 3? Should I not bring the mk 2?

bring the mk2

i had the wrong line up

this seems to only effect CR1 MK3 and DS not MK2

Here is the report

@Gunjob mind taking a look at it?

Lost the power

Yes, it has been stolen from me, or it is because this was already reported

Could somebody put a report in for this with spall liners on the ufp, hull sides and turret.

And then a seperate on for the splash shield on both CR1 and CR2

@Gunjob has made an internal report regarding spall liners, the thing is we dont know if what the picture shows is just the foam coating used for insulation, since we also dont really have many sources that claim cr 1 has a spall liner other than the bit around the gun

Ironic as the cr 2 is missing any spall liner around said gun. Which is not fun considering it’s the place everyone shoots you.

yep, gajins spall liner placement has been quite random in places, other examples are the Leo 2s left turret cheek which randomly doesnt have one, or the M3A3 Bradley where it has a very small one to protect the drivers upper body XD

“In 2005, the United Kingdom’s Defense Acquisition Agency awarded BAE Systems a contract to develop a new tungsten penetrator, known as the CHARM 2, or L28A2, for use in both the L11 and L30 high-bore guns. The L28A2 has a modified propellant and barrel from the Reduced Range Training round (RRTR), and utilizes the stock, threaded structure, and tail design of the L27A1, but its tungsten-nickel-cobalt core has a similar piercing length as the L28 and the same full weight as the L23. The L28A2’s companion propellant has been tuned down to the L11’s 32 tons of recoil, so the muzzle speed does not exceed 1550 m/s.”
Is it possible to include this ammo in CR1’s ammo stockpile?

No, because CR1 was retired in 2001. It’s a non-DU round developed for export to Oman to replace their L23A1 so would only be found on Omani tanks.

Yea, like that matters in this game.
Example: Turms-T uses Mango, even tho it never did.
Shells are added for ballance purposes, so we wont get any new rounds due to ballance

Challenger 1 should have L35 A1
?????
Is there anyone interested???

Is that canister shot? Man, one of my favourite rounds of battlefield 1. It would probably fuck up light tanks but then again, why would you need it over BESH. Hold on, planes…… this would be amazing at killing planes that are coming in your general dorection lol.
