If you would have a thicker mantlet it would be volumetric hell and the occasional shot wouldn’t pen you killing 2 crew members but instead we have a glass window for the CR2/3 mantlet.

Are the Cheeks actually any use? I know that thats kinda worthless when you get one shotted through the Breech but did they at least give us that?
The cheeks are good on all CR2 variants. The CR3 TD has less armour and can be penned by Dm53 at approx 15 degrees off the centerline. The Ob. 292 pens the turret if not straight on.
I’d say the cheeks are the best in the game apart from the Leos with the arrowhead. The problem is the roof, mantlet and the whole hull.

The one good thing about the Challengers are the turret cheeks. When 1/3 of your front turret face is as effective as wet napkins, your good cheek armour doesn’t do much for you.

Thought so, but was more thinking about the proliferation of AFPSDS and certain countries getting tanks and ammunition they certainly could not have mass produced at the quality presented in game… not looking at anyone in particular…

I can’t recall meeting alot of 292s when I play the CR2s.
Simply put, no one is going to shoot your turret cheeks because it is physically impossible to miss the window called the CR2 mantlet.

Playing at 11.3 you see them often, at 11.7 not so much
Im not denying that you don’t see them.
I don’t play CR2 often but when I do, I personally don’t encounter hordes of 292. The occasional one, yes.
If they are shooting me, they aren’t shooting me in the turret cheeks…because mantlet window exists.
Was playing the T90M yesterday, trying to spade it.
Encountered a CR2.OES.
Put 1 3BM60 through the mantlet and took his crew and some modules.
I felt dirty.
I had to go shower afterwards.
As a CR2 player, I knew their pain.

Yesterday I was grinding for the ADATS with my lineup:
-CR2
-BN
-CR3 TD
-CR2E
-Stormer
-Rooikat
(I have planes up to the meteor and only the wasp HAS.)
After 3 games I redeemed my coupon for the Leo2AV and started grinding the german tree

You need to taste the British apache. The ambush of blind ka52s with starstreaks is so entertaining

on my way to it, the new heli just crossed my plans a bit ;/
Played 3 games this morning every side shot is an ammo detonation, we are back to this nonsense I swear every time they patch this game they break something else!
Shot went through the engine and into the charge bins detonation
Second shot under the turret destroyed the ammo.
At this point the CR2 could be 9.7 and it still wouldn’t be OP joke of a tank

iirc the last major they made ammo hits a guaranteed detonation when stuck by the penitrator, tanks with large ammuntion racks suffer most from this. It’s one of the reasons the fox has been doing so well, get’s lots of one hits via ammo cook off
