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

Your forgetting the fact we still don’t have a stinger spaa or any kind of usefull spaa between 8.3 to 11.7. And yet they just gave Russia a shilka with iglas despite them already having the best spaa in the game being the strela, I’m fed up with not having an actual spaa to use.

Yeah it’s pathetic.

UK gets a stormer at 10.3 with more than double the minimum range it should have, despite @Gunjob and others submitting sourced reports on this. The IRST has also been shown to be underperforming, but no improvement there. It’s been six months and they still haven’t 100% fixed the projectile phasing issue.

Meanwhile Russia gets the best SPAA in the game at 11.7, along with one of the next best SPAAs in the game at 10.0

But yeah, no bias in this game lmao.

This is also a standard, sights are based on their day versions.

Dev server was updated, from what I can read. Any changes to the Challenger 2/3?

Only one I can see.

Yeah we should get the stormer with the 25mm and stingers

Cough… 30mm one*

i personally believe they are aluminium, being conservative the side skirts + mine plate is about 6.5 tonnes in weight, that leaves us a budget of 4.5 tonnes for the rest of the OES gear, the turret side chobham blocks + lfp chobham block + the ufp add-on, + the cage armour + add-on hull side armour. its not insignificant. and i think that extra 3 tonnes going towards a steel side plate doesnt leave enough weight for the rest.

btw did anybody look into that TES add-on side plating on the hull?

Do you think Gaijin will modify the mantlet according to your report? Why did Hull re model? thanks

Hard ti get info on it and pics, as most of the time the side is either covered or they are in the shadows



should gunner sit a little bit higher? @DevilO6 @Fireball_2020

Yes I think they will, as for the hull there was some issues with it leaving holes and such so I think it makes sense

Commander is too high iirc

yyy NO. You did your lines rather poorly. let me find a video


and well

commander sits too high. There is also a debate if both of them are too high or no

IDK. But sit too high is not bad in WT , enemy penetrates your HULL but cannot reach the crew in your turret.

There is the weak spot on the top left that can just be shot and take out gunner and commander though. Unless that was fixed in the new armor changes.

You’re right, I forgot about this

They said the armor of 99A and Leopard was buffed? Is that bug or real?
