The thing is, there is a sprocket hole there
And here is my schematic
Legend red: side plate, blue: back plate and sprocket, orange: welds, green: the wedge
Ignore how badly it is made
Inside weld

What part of the Challenger 2 did you measure?
I did none, this is a pic of the empty engine compartment 1 exhaust holes, 2 holes where transmission exists
Adn my schematic is a badly made view from up
No the one with the tape measure? Where are we looking as you zoom out?
With the tape, it is left back of the tank, i cant play rn so i cant take a screen

One from myself here. You can see the end of the plate is flush with the rear plate
So essentially the other side of the highlighted square number 2?
That perspective confuses me, so does the plate widen?
Ahh i see, so in the first photo it looked flush to the surface, if it’s running past then yes it would be a fillet weld from both sides meaning you’d essentially take off the width of the weld.
To me it looks as if the weld was shallower up there, making the plate appear wider
Basically 40mm then, you can see it more clearly in this photo.
Well, the tape says 40, and i bugs me we cant clearly see it is a cr2
So, we doing the 40 or no? Not a huge buff but still, and we have 2 photos
i mean would it theoretically be possible that the fighting compartment has extra side armor like we see with leos and abrams?
Of course it is possible. After all you can replace the engine, but you can’t replace the crew

let do this guy vote about bug report implementation
I would say it’s 40mm, sheet steel wouldn’t come in 38mm it’s an odd number tbh, 40mm is much more freely available. I know this isn’t armour quality but i very much doubt they’d specifically want 38mm https://www.metalsupplies.com/products/mild-steel-plate/
We have 2 pics, one newer one with 40 and one worn out with 38. It is clear like day for ma that it is 40 in that spot. If it is 50 inside is a different story

That’ll be harder to prove, unless you can get a set of digital calipers on a hull being built like in the photo i personally would say it’s 40mm.
