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

Yeah. Im expecting more of a token fix. Sort out a lot of the minor issues, then state “hey, we fixed loads and we are leaving it for now and we’ll see in the future if it needs any more”

Bingo, the mantlet is the biggest issue imo, it’s absolutely hilarious how bad it is. Like I’ve said before I’m not expecting the challenger 2 to take a round to the mantlet and not have the breach knocked out… I do however get sick to death of mediocre rounds pening the mantlet and killing the entire crew.

And it’s been that way for literally YEARS it’s a running joke.

Britain legally cannot have good vehicles in War Thunder, just look at the Gripen lol

It is against the ToS. Which makes me really fear what they’ll add for US and USSR in March

It gonna be AMRAAMS this we have been told but the question remains
Will it be only low performance or high
Does USA get the AV8B + with AMRAAMS or the F15C

Yep. Im guessing F-15C with AMRAAM

If they do that they might as well add a pre production Typhoon

Yep…

But we both know will have to wait until they have something much shinier so when our beauty comes to the game it doesn’t outshine the USA and Russia

Yep, they’ll get 2 to 3 new top tier aircraft minimum before Typhoon is added and then it will be a cliffnote at the bottom of the patch notes

grinding the challenger 3 has been bad for my mental health, adding onto the fact I don’t have premium

Its worth it i can assure you, the 1500hp and a actual good dart makes so much difference.
Only downside is the lack of turret spall liner which is hopefully fixed in the future despite their current stance

I just read the dev response. I wanted to sum it up with Lmao, but im not laughing.

SO i have to make the report, again, unless the plates inside the turret chekks and side are supposed to be seen?
Can i ask someone with ANSEL to take some photos of the exposed turret side armor? The laptop im on rn does not support it.

You can clearly see that there’s a plate there - screen cap from Rheinmetalls “contract signed” video

Ehh…

Unrelated but I did find a photo with a slight angle of the turret roof, seems to match what we have in game apart from the no-slip surface being 3 separate lines rather than the one block

I don’t know why people want AMRAAMs so much, it will just make top tier even more boring

we all know about the commitment of gaijin for the british tree… its 0.

instead of putting in vehicles that would benefit the tree they introduce a sub par south african tree no one asked for with the excuse they didnt have anything else.

it was proposed over 2 years ago to introduce the stormer 30, basicly a stormer hull (allready in game) with a dardo turret (allready in game) a copy paste they just ignored.

we have the scimitars, the foxes, the scorpions and newer versions of the warrior. all ignored.

the cr2 still has holes in the turret ever since its introduction making a mantlet weak spot even bigger, the poor mobility at low speed was just adressed and it was a poor fix.

and lets all remember how this game isnt biased by the datamines that gave us the extra plate on the is6 turret, the wood logs on the t series that worked better than dorchester and the laughable hp of the t series guns being far more than the rest of the MBTs.

no matter how much time they tell us its all a coincidence and that there is no bias i will never believe them, and its been sayd plenty of times…
