Dorchester is a completely different design?

nah, its the real reason why the chally numbers get less and less: they just lose them somewhere

we dont know the design of dorchester or the exact materical composition, or do you have classified docs?

i know said it to annoy him

maybe this one?

Unless other devices of CR2 are lighter than CR1? I heard that the CR2 turret used more RHA?

I thought it was the tea bags?

CR2 has a larger turret, thicker turret armor, and a more complex mantlet structure The body of CR2 also originates from CR1, so how can CR2 achieve a weight of only 62.5 tons?

The hull is the same base structure, things inside the hull and the armour is different

Electrically operated turrets like CR2s are quite a lot lighter than hydraulics turrets like Chieftain+CR1s

God … when that Dev server drops ima look directly at the CH2 and CH3s and see whats what my guys…

I am gunna be very interested to see if/what they change

“We had a deep and interesting look into a specific section of our community and the various evidence that they brought to us and its in our best interested that we bring the Challengers to the quality of the available information given, and thus due to this we are making the CH2s and CH3s armour have less protection due to our super secret sources TM” ;D

yep.

“we have reviewed the CR2 and found it overperforming significantly. we are removing L27A1”

“We have found via our special secret sources that the Challengers mantlet seems to be overperforming and thus have corrected it”

No it’s from challenger 2

Because it probably is

i have a backup plan for that.

Spoiler

im researching leopard 2 pl and switching sides to the germans

Also remember that much of the rear turret you see are hollow stowage boxes. And the crew space (aka mostly air) was also enlarged quite significantly over chieftain and chally 1.
