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

It’s funny, as for the most part steelbeast probably have a more accurate depiction of the challenger 2 than wt right now.

I suspect it comes back to their interpretation of STANAG levels. Gaijin have a sheet of intended protection levels and for side appliqué the values listed are for 60 degree impacts vs darts, which tends to fit with vehicles having protection levels provided “over the frontal 60 degree arc”/30 degrees off centreline

I know finding data on the challenger 2 is basically impossible. But is there really nothing on the nera plates found on the avre, challenger 1 and 2? It seems to be the easiest aider armour to find the values for due to its age.

Steel beasts is a far from accurate representation so don’t even reference it

Which makes it funny that it is probably more accurate, or closer to the actual values at least.

faster reloading, better hull ke is fine

I wish I knew where their stats come from, we then could use those sources here






A 350mm armor has only 110KE

Would be 600mm KE if it were a Swedish vehicle.

280ke

Now take the angle into account and you have a Cr2 hull

Lower than 500ke

We can play our “new” Challenger 2 tomorrow!
