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

I imagine this is referring to the LFP, which was initially protected by ERA but later replaced with a single composite block


intresstingly this claims to be a megatron in 2009

Yes it is. It is the DT22AA, serial number of the tank known as MEGATRON. I would argue with the year


another side shot i found

It would be intressting to look what the markings on the barrel plug are, since on later photos of megatron they changed

also the wear of the number is heavier in later photos

This may be of interest - projectile stowage under the gun with what looks like charge stowage bins visible behind, assuming the turret is slightly rotated to the left

Is this from a Challenger?

the question is from chally 1 or 2

looks like a chieftain to me, ammo bins

chally 1 also had ammo bins

2 also has ammo bins, their shape, oh yea, the cr1 aslo has them the same shape


This is chieftain

This s chally 1 mk 1/2
The mk 3 had different bins which is not modelled in game I believe
Before the upgrade:


After the upgrade

I’d agree so considering the lack of MTP

I’ve got plenty of weird obscure pictures of the left side near the loader, but the right? No images… hahaha

Would this merit a report?

does anyone else find it weird how NATO ERA like on the challenger 2 TES is huge, yet has the same or worse protection values as the tiny ERA on Russian vehicles?

there’s probably a good reason it just seems strange

what do you want to report?

Sorry, not picking this up. This topic was rolled so many times its pointless to talk about it

You can try, if you want. And both mk3 and DS, they use the same bins in game
