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

[DevilO6]

(Resolved)
The tanks are modelled on the hot suspension, meaning the gas in them is heated up and at they are the driving height, the tanks on the pictures are on cold.

I need your help guys, as im having a problem with this for some reason
Is the suspension set too high, or are the side skirts too small?

Im simply unable to pinpoint what is the problem for some reason
Im going to report wrong road wheels and suspension arms models. Now the thing is are the sideskirts too small or if the suspension is set too high.
Man BN also looks wrong

it seems to me that sideskirts are too small, but i just cant get the feeling out of my heat that something is wrong with the wheels

YES, the arms are different and sideskirts are too small
OR are the road wheels sitting to high?

AUGHHH

[petwe_romcak]

The sideskirts are indeed too small. Are the wheels the right size, though?

[DevilO6]

@petwe_romcak

Are the wheels the right size, though?

(Resolved)
That is just what i looked at. I think they are too small…

HOW DID THAT WENT UNNOTICED
no wait


suspension is too high
AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
But are the wheels right size?
I just had to look at the suspension yesterday, i could have slept better without doing so
But that would mean that in game the top track would lay on the top of the road wheels if it gets in suspension gets moved up. WHAT A MESS

[petwe_romcak]

@DevilO6

suspension is too high

You’re probably right about the suspension; I’m not sure about the wheels; they look okay-ish. Someone would have to measure them.

[DevilO6]

[John_Sneeeeeeeew]

Comparing where the skirts are mounted they seem fine so unless the wheels are the wrong size which is doubtful as they wouldnt fit, the suspension looks to be too high

[John_Sneeeeeeeew]

The top rollers are also much closer to the wheels irl than in game

[DevilO6]

SO im left with
All Cr2 and Cr3 too high on suspension, tracks too loose
Cr2 BN wrong suspension
Cr3 Wrong suspension and road wheels
Ahh

[DevilO6]

Now, is setting it up so high on suspension intentional or is it a mistake? Can even Cr2 lift itself like that irl?

[John_Sneeeeeeeew]

Oh and challenger 2 with lower plate ERA when?

[DevilO6]

Here, Base 2 with 2E installed and 2F early

[John_Sneeeeeeeew]

disregard last then

[DevilO6]

But that would mean, that side blocks are too big

[John_Sneeeeeeeew]

my very simple drawing shows what I mean, the rollers being further and the skirts are comparable

[DevilO6]

Ye, now im dealing with all that is a effect of that realisation

[DevilO6]

It seems the blocks are fine and Cr2 sits too high

[DevilO6]

@Fireball_2020 do you know anything about Cr2 being able to lift itself up to what we have in game?

[John_Sneeeeeeeew]

just a general question whilst I remember it, but does anybody know why one side of the blocks on the turret are smaller than the other side?

[DevilO6]

Wikipedia seems to say

Question is, does it lift?
Wow, Cr2 is even in the hydropneumatic site

Ah yes, Cr2 uses HYDRO GAS suspension, im kind of stupid for not connecting the dots

So does it lift or no?

[DevilO6]

Nope, probably someone fu**** up the dimesions, so they decided to say it was intentional and kept it like that
