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.

use pgm2000 pls

Don’t have them unlocked yet, but the 500s are also already fine XD

Something i’ve noticed, not sure which way its supposed to be, but;

If you lose a crewman in the TES, so you’re down to 3, you can still operate the remote gun mounted to the roof.
However, in the OES, this is not the case, when you’re down to 3, you cant control it anymore.

Obviously a bug, but which one is correct?

The loader controls the turret so if you’re down to 3 then it should be manned.

Thought as much.

Bug report it is.

Not biased what so ever, but the CR2 is definitely the best looking MBT.

do you have a picture?

where is the 400(0.94) come from?

What for?

The steel is cast so it’s 0.94 modifier. As for the 400 value there isn’t a direct measurement but:
