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

I don’t even think they have the two seperate ammo stowages modelled for Hesh and APFSDS, if you take 21 APFSDS and 2 Hesh it still shows up as all APFSDS in the rear XD

It has them irl, but it is not modelled in game, so the shells go to racks by the order they are set in the game. Like in all tanks

Does it in the Chally 2 as well, I don’t use hesh and I reasonably often get ammo racked

Any of you talented folk out there making any skins for the OES?

If it is true and all rounds in the turret can cause an ammo rack, with or without hesh loaded. Then why don’t they just make all the apds heads not counted as ammo, as in just remove them from the ammo table or just remove them outright. It may not be realistic but I would prefer working and accurate tanks over some cool interior modelling. Would actually allow us to use the advantage 2 stage ammo gave us. Plus HESH should be non explosive as well since plastic explosive, depending on the type, isn’t pressure or temperature sensitive.

Short OES Story.

I see T80UK, I Kill T80UK

Same Player sneaks up on me in 2S38.

After a minute of attacking me point blank, taking out 2 crew & numerous modules, I start a 40sec repair.
He continues to shoot point blank.

I repair
2S38?

How th did you survived that? 1-2 shots to remove your gun, 2 per track and then turret ring to finnish you. A new player i guess

Most average 2s38 player. Just aims for the most armoured parts of the tank.

In the course of his failed attempt at revenge, he took 2 crew, my barrel, engine & vertical drive.

I ran out of battery chasing him with MG before i started repair (i already made peace with the fact i wouldn’t survive this)

40 second repair later, all while he’s still shooting me from point blank, i just pop one into his side after he change position to that little hill.

Genuinly have no idea how i survived that.

Ive been killed by a single 30mm from a Ka50/52 going through my mantlet before.

I will be honest, with what we got in M1 hull and MANPADs, i lost all the optimism when it comes to Cr2 blog. I have a Bad feeling it will be another assumption fest.

its just gonna be wild justifications on why tank bad

Well, the Centurion mk 3 that is in a museum has a 200mm mantlet, so we assume the CR2 has the same thicness.

Exactly my worries, they’re putting out these devblogs to justify why that aren’t making changes, CR2 is next
