Challenger 1 MBT - Technical Data and Discussions

And its the same thing assuming a void for composite armor is empty by design.

Alright, I’ve asked if the report for that can be poked given it’s a new WIP model getting some attention.

So let me get this straight, when we try to use photo evidence, even when it’s extremely basic and obvious like “X plane with Y bomb”, it doesn’t count and your report gets deleted.
But when Gaijin wants to nerf a British tank, well then any out of context jpeg is hard evidence.

Makes sense to me!

I spoke to a moderator about it. Heres what they had to say


btw, the shoulders drop to 50mm irl, with the inner being 70mm… so yeah it doesnt suprise me that the shoulders dont have composite.

Id like to see a source for this.

50p coin is 27.5mm in diameter for reference.

says who

You can see both edges in my photo, so no

perspective maters, its also a finger handle

the diagram is right there above and also confirms 50mm, this also seems to have been partially used by the dev’s because they changed the top plate’s thickness

Actually. Your diagram says 70mm. The 50mm cuts that plate thinner than it should be

inner portion is 70mm, outer is 50mm, which was my point

I would love to see a bolt that is the size of your hand…

Your schematics however still do not prove no composite was present.

@duckmartin so just to clarify, you have the document containing this correct?

No, but what they do prove is the outer pods were weaker either way, so they didn’t intend on having full protection there, which just makes no composite seem a little bit more viable.

If u ask me or most likely anyone else thats more of a reason to put composite in it. Because there are 0 reasons why the shouldnt.
