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

Can’t use a weighted average formula.

No, nothing to report. Things here were about pre production round

Maybe we can let gaijin to give Cr2 the L27

There is no L27, only L27A1

The pre production?

Thats just a L27A1 prototype, not a different round.

Is there a possibility of joining the WT?

I guess you mean adding it to war thunder. I see no reason to, and no base to add it.

Is L27 prototype better than L27A1? In wt the weight of L27A1 and L26 is same? Both are 4.3?

no

Yeah I was the one mixed up. The weighted average can only be used when it’s proportion by volume, not weight. Apologies @Baron_Tiberius

why did L26 and L27A1 in wt have the same weight?

because many of L27s values are copy and pasted from L26

no official data, just like about the speed and lenght. So some guesswork and c&p came into play

It seems that 2F late has become our only hope
“Make Challenger great again!”

Can anyone explain why the Challenger 2F’s 150mm (one hundred and fifty) of composite armor add-on is only ~15mm effective?

The base side armor is a slightly angled 38mm. The in-game X-Ray claims “30mm against KE” (a stupidly low figure, equivalent to the basic ERA on an AVRE) - yet it’s actually only 55mm with the composite armor. So that’s a generous ~15mm of effectiveness.

For 150mm of composite armor. While 100mm of “composite screen” on the Swedish Leopard UFP is easily over 200mm KE effectiveness. I would just like to know if this is accurate.

Gaijin’s Magic. Hopefully it changes with the rework thats currently ongoing but we will have to wait and see.

It is wrong, my report is up
As of why, well

it is a long story

The 2F I have no idea. I’m not sure what pack that is on the side but I’d damn well hope itbhas more KE than 15mm…

Then again we all know how the TES/OES ASPRO-HMT debacle has panned out.
