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

Interesting.

Trying to use logic against gaijin, you have courage.

Could you do me an example in paint of how that would look for the CR2 hull sides joining the rear.

Essentially like this but the plates are thicker so the 45° is smaller

I’m sure with abit of maths using the width of the the weld gaijin can determine the plates would actually be a little thicker. I would also expect the internal corners to be welded from a straight 90° like they are on the interior of the Challenger 2 turret.

I’ve ground out Britain and France… I wouldn’t call it courage… More like insanity

Japan will be my next seeing as its spaa is viable now. I’ve done usa Germany, Russia too Sweden is 10.0

Now the Abrams has a 5 second reload across all 120mm variants, I think it might be time the Challenger 2’s go down unless these upcoming fixes do a lot. The Challenger 2 is effectively worse in every single metric than the Abrams and they were supposedly ‘useless’.

I find it strange that challenger 1 has better vertical targeting speed than challenger 2 anyone have any info about challenger 2s Targeting speed

Given what I’ve read from the Devs today, I’m really not expecting much from them when they finally are ready to discuss the CR2’s

sadly we just have no data

but it would at least be the same if not better than challenger 1 its worse in the challenger 2

Neither am I, but realistically the Challenger 2’s bar the 2E and Black Knight, are all only on the level of really 11.3 mbt’s. That’s my opinion anyway, particularly now you can compare them to the M1A1 HC and they just come up worse.

Honestly I barely play ground anymore, it sounds funny but I find air and naval to just be more relaxing and less reaction speed.

Yep, I’m the same. I want to learn ground, it has potential, but I just find it so stressful. Even evading Su27s in the Tornado Gr1 is vastly more relaxing than playing ground

I enjoy the lower tiers, but the higher tiers stress me out, although having Germany, Britain and Sweden all to the higher tiers I can comfortably say that Germany until 10.7 was the least stressful, then from there up Sweden. The UK had some gems then APDS got nerfed and the Centurions went up. The Challenger 1 I still love though particularly as it seems to get lots of desert maps which are perfectly suited paired with the G-Lynx, Jag, Vickers MK.7 etc.

Naval the 6.3 BB’s are soothing for Britain too.

Yeah, I was farming SLs in the Belfast recently and that is rather relaxing. It’s a real shame naval gets so little love from the community. It’s the most fun of all the gamemodes.

I was hoping getting to top tier would mean no more uptiers, and thus a more balanced experienced, but the 10/10.3s are the last time Britain feels balanced in my opinion. Later CR2s are probably a lot better, but I just can’t bring myself to grind for them. The economy in ground sucks

Ooops, so in fixing the OES, they have decided TES is overperforming after the fix and so that’ll be reduced somehow…

I have 2500 GE to spare after I got myself 90days of premium, I’m torn between buying the G-55S so I can grind italy for the best Eurofighter, Talismanning the CR1 MK.2, getting the M4a1 Fl10 (French one) to grind french ground or talismanning something in the Swedish tree.

Very drawn out way of saying I love Britains 10.3 lineup and IMO the CR1 was the last truly ‘NATO Standard’ tank we built.

Having played the Leopards, I can only see the 2E and the 3 being worth it, I’ve heard good things about the BN but I die surprisingly rarely to helicopters. when the 3 with APS comes out then it’ll be pretty cracked I think.
