yeah the side armour should be 50mm

kinda sad that didnt happen with the CR1 rework

It’s were the fuel tanks are !!

He is talking about the top picture not the bottom picture !!

Yep, i cant find a place where it widens at the end, and there is that curved thingy

Wait, that is the whole hull right, im stupid right?

I’m assuming it’s not supposed to be like this?

It’s round were the turret ring meets the bulk head that separates the fighting compartment from the engine compartment !!

Yea, im stupid, for some reason my brain took that picture as space for one fuel tank. im stupid, now time to check

20-50 how convinient

38, i do no see it on the pictures

That is for sure thiccer

and the 38 again

You guys reckon Chally 2 will be getting armor rework like the Challenger 1? If so I’m not sure if that’s good considering challenger 1 lost its front sponson composite.

It got nerfed on the cheeks, buffed mantlet and nerfed hull, so overall a bad rework. All i can do i hope 2s rework will be on the better side. And we just did a fair share of protection analysys ,so gaijin can come hera and take a thing or two

Oh yeah, the composite covering the sponsons is more effective than the one covering the crew, the crew composite has a metal plate (mounting), iirc it was like 20mm thick but volumetrically took much more space which reduces its effectiveness by like 20-30mm compared to the sponsons composite.

Not at home so can’t test it to be exact

Or we can make a giant bug report and hope for the best, but i at lesat does not have sources to make it valid

i did some there

Found it, had it saved on my phone. I did a report on this long ago

My worry is they just remove the sponson composite
