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

(if you have any more publicity available sources please send them) OHH OK I GUESS THE 30+ ALREADY SENT WASN’T ENOUGH TO CHANGE THE CLASSIFIED VEHICLE… PLEASE LET ME GO SOURCE MORE SEKRT DOCUMENTS XD gaijin wonders why people leak classified ***t yet when presented with cleat issues and information doesn’t act on it… A challenger 2 mantlet should not be being pen’d from a tiger 2s round, not just from a real life aspect but a gameplay balance aspect too, it’s simply stupid!

How the internal of the ERA part of the side armour look

What? We’re getting a DM rework including ammo placement and mantlet armour.

They’ve said they’ll rework the mantlet. So I guess we see what they do and go from there.

Yes alongside the side of the turret being increased per @Flame2512’s report

A nice fork in the road. Make your choice.

The only possible “better” evidence is illegal to provide.

What options are left?

I dont think its fair to say such a thing.
there isnt much more evidence out there as the tank is still majorly classified and the information that is out there its questionable if gaijin would even bother looking at nevermind accepting over what they have internally and have been given externally.

I think previously it was because other nations had stock HEAT. However now, theres no excuse really.

WHAT NOW?

The connecting plate for the ERA to the Hull is now going to be Aluminium instead of the composite? it is currently.


I have a massive fuck of problem with the aluminum part

That is not the purpose of that plate, the backplate is a giant screen stretching up to the giant block at the bottom, and servs as an armour first, second as a mounting.

well they will correct the model for the next major patch… its one of the things i think was really hurting the challenger.

for the rest, i cant believe the devs to be this ignorant of subjects like the gun mantlet so ill just say they are doing it on purpose. theres no other explanation why they choose to ignore certain aspects of bug reports and focus only on others.

Would they be in the university library?

“a great deal of Vickers material is now held by the University of Cambridge, so you may wish to contact them directly.” is what I was told, no mention of where specifically.

I mean, it’s right there.
