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

What I can say is, there is no charges on the right side. There is however a small 3 round projectile storage.

@Legwolf

There are only 3 charge bins, front left which we can see in the photo, you can tell because of the twist lock caps. The turntable 4 charges, and the rear charge bin.

also wouldnt another charge bin increase the total ammunition count drastically?

The source I posted up above, suggests Challenger 2 stores charges on both sides of the driver in mirrored charge bins

So far, it’s the only source i’ve found that directly references the location of Challenger 2’s ammunition

No, you’re just moving them around. The total still comes to 50 rounds approx

It most certainly does not, I’d probably drop that source 😉

how are you moving them around? You have a fixed capacity of both the rear and the front left. If you now add another equaly siced bin to the right the others dont magically get smaller

“On each side of the driver”

I’m not sure what you mean, unless you’ve got a source that conflicts with that statement or some proof otherwise?

I’ve updated the bug list again and even went spelunking on the bug site and found some other bug reports on there not shared on these threads

@Gunjob mind looking at it?

here, have another one ;)

Sigh

:P

You can never have enough Cr2 reports

Not that I can send here, I’m just saying there is a reason why there aren’t any photo’s of a charge bin on the right side.

You’re removing the ammunition from the front left of the driver and behind his seat and moving them to the bin to his right.

Those have been photographed to not exist at all and shouldn’t be there. So your total stays the same, all you’ve done is move them to their correct spots in the model rather than keep them where they are

Thats true, its added.

The longer the list is, the worse it looks for Gaijin and the better chance we have that maybe the modelling issues (the ones that dont actually matter) will get fixed

So on the right is an ammo storage, right? then we move

to the drivers right and call it a day

Whilst you are looking at the ammo storage, keep an eye out for info that could be used to report crew position. If they are wrong, that would be good to get a report in for. One of the main items i have listed without an associated bug report

Someone walks inot here and sees this

i had to set the zoom to 33% to see everything at once
