— 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
Sorry I’ve missed the convo what’s this about
well well, thats gone completely under my radar thus far, good spot
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…
of course i do. although its a top secret tea and thats why the hydropneumatic susp isnt modeled in game

So then. When are we getting Brimstones for the Challenger 2?
I would like to take the time to thank all of you for your astounding research on the CR2, can’t believe Gaijin has literally had to take the time and speak out against you feisty lot because you keep kicking their behinds in!
On a real note, cheers for trying to bring a more accurate form of the Challenger 2 MBT to War Thunder, as someone who has researched the entire British Air, Ground and Heli tree, and as a fellow Briton it warms my heart.
