The Challenger 2s are woefully underperforming at the moment and are in need of some major TLC. But for this post im going to suggest a novel solution to help fix the Challenger 2s. Introduce dozer blades to most/all of them. This not only will give the Challenger 2s are slight increase to their LFP protection, but will enable them to entrench, which is the gameplay best suited for them. Very few tanks at top tier have access to a dozer blade and this would be an extremely fun gimmick for Britain to receive as well and be a gameplay defining feature for our top tier MBTs.
In fact, the base CR2 had a dozer blade and as far as I am aware, is still in the files. So this isnt exactly an extensive modeling addition

Should dozer blades be added to the Challenger 2(s)?
Which Challenger 2s should get a dozer blade? (multiple choice)
- Challenger 2
- Challenger 2F
- Challenger 2 OES
- Challenger 2 TES
- Challenger 2 Black Night
- Challenger 2E
- All of them
Should the Challenger 3TD/ Future Challenger 3s get access to the Dozer Blade as well? (assuming they recieve them IRL)

CR2 Streetfighter with a brimstone when?

I fear they’ll add the SF2 as the only Challenger 2 with a dozer blade and that be its only defining feature. With no other difference bar the skin from the base CR2
I’d Say let the service Chally 2s have them, as they could IRL, but leave the 3/BN/2E without due to their prototype/demonstrator status and not having them IRL, though the Chally 3 might recieve them in the future

Yeah, i have no idea where to look for evidence the BN or 2E actually having them or not, but just threw them in there as “challenger 2 = challenger 2” and I would assume mountings and stuff would be mostly the same.
I’d settle if they just made the Brimstone a Spike essensially, would give a fun alternative gameplay/ some anti-heli weaponry
if they did do it though, I’d bet they’d make the Brimstones kill the tank if they were shot, it annoys me so much in the Desert Warrior, or stormer
You really don’t want dozer blades. They constantly get lodged into terrain and immobilise the tank. See: Leopard 2 PSO.
Yeah… Would be great fun, but probably wont happen for balancing reasons. Especially as I think its just a mock-up and I dont know if a live Brimstone has actually been fired from a CR2 or not yet
If its anything like the CR1Mk2, they can just be toggled off via the mod. So its optional for those that want it
yeah, there is nothing saying that they couldn’t mount them, but it depends if gaijin decides on the “they could” approach like the F-5C, or the “They must be proven to have it” approach like they had done with the ZA-35 Thermals
Yeah, its at the mercy of Gaijin ultimately, and I could see them drawing the line there, but we’ll have to wait and see if any gets them
Do all CR2 have the mounting point for a dozer blade? Because Streetfighter in reality was for urban warfare like the PSO, which had a dozer blade fitted specifically for that purpose. Could be the same for Streetfighter.
Yes. Pictures of 2s and 2Fs at the very least with dozer blades in the original post.
I’ve heard of them being fitted to the TES but couldnt find a picture of it. (again though, same mountings but might replace some ERA)
BN and 2Es are tech demonstrators and so might not have actually been fitted with them but no reason why the mountings would have changed radically to prevent the mounting.
the base CR2 even has one still in the files iirc.

They’ve saved me more than i’d like to admit.
Best looking chally imho 😍
The Berlin Infantry disruptive pattern makes any tank look so much more drippy. It just suits all the vehicles it was ever painted onto

I have it on my fox and challenger 2 (base) right now, i think the latter camo actually replicates the street fighter or another tank from that same battalion, but still a great camo either way
I only run the mk10 chieftain and fox in berlin brigade drip I like the pattern so much. the base CR2 isn’t in my top tier lineup so I’m not buying the skin for it
time to create a Berlin Brigade Typhoon
