Welcome to Britain

Because the soviets just got their first tank with Spall liners

That’s because on the CR1 the L26 round uses the L14 charge, but uses the high pressure L12 charge when fired from CR2.

The L23A1 uses the L14 (or L8) charge when fired from both tanks.

Right but you have almost 7 tons of weight to make up for. Likely even more since the calculations won’t be accurate.
Let’s say it’s TWICE as heavy as the CR1 block. maybe even three times heavier.
You still have 1.5 TONS to make up for with just the antennas, ECM and slat armor, discounting ASPRO installation as 1 ton.

It’s not a realistic value in my eyes and steel lines up more with the expectation of both materials used, material weight (Slat armor is not very heavy, it warps and bends easily), ECM and radios will not be as heavy either. There’s just not 1.5 tons of equipment there, even if the LFP is 3x heavier than CR1s

Tbh i dont think spall liners even got into Cr3 2019. It was a demo, with modified digitalized turret, that is the whole turret inside got removed for the works and then put back so it looks ok. As it was a demo not meant to fight, doubt spall liners were installed.

Then as with the CR1 and CR2 prototypes, it’s probably also unarmoured.

If you zoom on the inside part of the cheek


You can see the plates sticking out in a zig zag pattern. Doubt real armour would be shown like that.

5 kills in the CR2, 1 in the marksman to kill a 2S38 in the spawn.

Hmmm i wonder why the US win rate is so low…
Playing top tier with the UK right now its so easy to get kills because your team has all left after one spawn leaving behind a target rich environment

Gaijin: Why are winrates at top tier so bad?
Adds another top tier premium
Gaijin: This is an absolute mystery.
Adds another top tier premium
Gaijin: Maybe theres not enough players, giving us poor stats
Adds another top tier premium
Gaijin: I guess it’ll just remain a mystery.

Every single game ends up like this either way
A leo just went through my mantlet, spall liner, breach, crew, ammo and out the back of the turret

Only played about 4 matches this morning, 3 of them ended up like that.

Had 1 where the match went well, with both teams competing until the very end.

Just checked,

Ive played 6 matches this morning, with 1 victory, being that one match where both teams fought until the end.

The rest were steamrollings (we had the US on our team every time)

It has been a week since i last played Cr2s, maybe i should play them?
