Challenger 2 MBT - Technical data and Discussion (Part 1)

nah, the backplate is right there, it is the tall thing it goes from the top to the botoom, the block excluding it has 200mm, so does the NERA seen there

I don’t have any for the blocks unfortunately are the back plates thickness !!

umm, i dont think i understand what you meant, can you explain


you sure because it looks just like the 2F/2E with the part where the circle is drawn around being the triangular plate

image
This is the exact same tank, you can see the backplate run across the hull not just that front segment

Well, 2G added the backplate with a the giant block, before they had a separate plates by themselfs

ahhh intressting

sorry i still dont get it


I believe the side looks something like this, not to scale or dimensions lol. The blue is the dust cover

i see

image
Because here, you can see the backplate run the length of the composite block, but that backplate also runs down the length of the tank covering the sponson

SO i guess we get 40 and we deal with it

also without the line i added
image

The section covering the sponson should get another plate that looks to be of a similar thickness to 40, that should give the part not covered by ERA a better chance at stopping autocannon apfsds

ehh, gues we deal get 40 and nothing with it

Now to proving that both NERA and ERA are present on TES

RED Dot - So I do not have any measurements for the composite armour back plate there are any back plates that might be behind it.

Blue Dot - I only have measurements regarding this area.

The only other measurements I have are for the armoured ammunition bins, track pads and the lower main hull thickness !!

@Legwolf like what you read there. If it is true you can remake your whole report to include both NERA and ERA
I feel like im about to get eaten

isnt the sales brochure of the ERA already talking about a combination of ERA and NERA?

A brochure, you have one? !!!
