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

How on earth? It takes ages to get the RP for a free ace on a premium tank.

Play it obsessively until you break

Yea, its a forgotten thing. I have read somewhere it had an autoloader. Well, it need some work, but gaijin is not in a hurry with it

If we’re talking about South African prototypes I would like to see a reload buff for the MTTD, DM63, and higher gen thermals. Digital zoom would be good but I’ll wait until everyone gets it.

— Remember, fellow soldiers, once and for all, that the cannon shoots at a parabola.
One of the recruits:
— Comrade Ensign, it turns out that you can shoot from around the corner if you put the gun on its side!
The ensign thought for a moment:
— You can… But according to the regulations it is not allowed!

CR2 OES/TES lack of hull side appliqué armor




Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any more clear pictures

Compare to standard CR2

What part are you talking about? The Sideplate mounts seen on the first pic?

Yes, almost entire hull side has appliqué armor similar as Leopard 2A7V

That, right?

Oh that, now that puts us in a weird place
@Fireball_2020 any info on this?
well, at least we have a reference for thiccness in suspension flange
Yea can be seen here


AUGHHHHHHH more work

Quick search, but it seems to be a part of DL 2G 2H and 2I, as photos with other kits seems to not have it, but its hard to check that, but i cant deny it appeared in other DL2 versions.
Thicness is around suspension flange thicness.
Material unknown

So did for me, it might be the reason for the 50mm side that we failed to prove
38 base + 12 plate added on it
Unless that comes from that one tape photo, then ignore this post

I think its 2G and up (As 2G was 2H, but with VARMA in place ASPOR that was not here yet)
So DL2G DL2H and DL2I
I do not see anything on tanks with 2F, hard to find a photo that has enough light to see there

time for somebody to take the tape meassurer out and meassure the suspension

well well who would have thought the increase in weight wasnt actually tea

If you think the Hydropneumatic suspension isn’t filled with tea your going to be disappointed…
