Hello👋 Today i would like suggest a modification for the challenger 2 and Challenger 2 TES.
This Modification is the Front Bucket/Dozer Blade that is attached on the front of some Challenger 2’s.
Officially called a Blade Earth Moving Attachment (BEMA), the Front Dozer Blade Attachment has been on British Tanks since the Chieftains (as far as a i can remember). They were Fitted to Chieftains, Challenger 1’s and Challenger 2’s.
However, the BEMA isnt the only variation of Dozer Blade. They can and have also been fitted the Track Width Mine Plough (TWMP)
Both variants (and more) are made by Pearson Engineering. A UK Based Defense Manufacturer.
(Queens Royal Hussars - Estonia - 2023)
In game currently, only one of the Chieftain’s has the Dozer Blade, and Only 1 Challenger has the Dozer Blade (Challenger Mk.3). This suggestion is looking to add the Dozer Blade to the Challenger 2’s. The Challenger 2 very shortly did have a dozer blade in game one time after an update but it was non-functional and was quickly removed so I suspect its already in the files.
Aside from that The Challenger 2’s sole purpose (like the Chieftains and Challenger 1’s) is to fight hull down and ridging. All or most sniping and proper hull down spots have been removed from the game to stop everyone from doing it so allow us to have the dozer blade so we can make our own spots and play the tank properly. It gives us that tiny bit extra protection too.
