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

I think ADATS sits at 11.7 since it’s able to effectively counter ground vehicles

It’s the only thing it’s able to counter.

It’s not as good against aircraft as it used to be.

A while, I think.

It got nurfed then uptiered.

Well, i missed that. ADATS is just sitting in my lineup since its release and i bearly pay attention to it. I use it in games, but for me it just exists.

I love the ADATS. The only issue with it is the gun depression and the spasticated missiles. If Gaijin fixes the missiles to make them hittles it would deserve the 11.7 BR. The missiles will only hit at brawling ranges and it really is deserving of a buff.

i hate when having around 100 ping causes missile to shake violently. It makes hitting things so much harder. And yea, since the nerf you are have 0-150m and then 700+ space where your missile will hit things, in 150-700 spot it tries to manouver but does the weird spiral thing that makes hitting thigss where you want hard to do

I imagine they’d be using alot of the machines from the chieftain etc

I’m just sticking to the chally 1s as I’ve only just found out they buffed the mantlet armour making it have an amazing breach area. In hull down the only way your dying is to an he or atgm to the barrel which will order over pressure you.

If they don’t end up fixing either the mantlet or the TES side armour I think I’ll just call it quits, Cba to play a game they insist on making a Russian coping system. I want my challys to be fun and not be forced into play styles I don’t like and were never meant to be used in.

I played that new (ish) desert map the other night, it’s essentially the one where the A point is the bridge, b is the river area, and C is tge little town in the middle of the spawns, long story short it the Massive version of that map where it has miles of area to movve and use as cover and my god i was the best experience I’ve had in the challenger 1, it was able to shrug off rounds hitting the turret multiple times and send a kill shot to T72s in return. The challenger 1 was actually able to be played as it was designed.

Love how the new best map at top tier has been in the game for half a decade at this point. I fucking love that map.

I can’t remember the name but i glad you knew what one i meant through the description XD

Of course I do, it has been my favourite sim map for a while. I remember when I got it in a tiger one and got to fight against ww2 vehicles at 2km ranges. I miss when I could actually have some fun in sim as now it’s just all normal maps and not the massive version. There’s even a big version of white rock fortress, or was.

I just realised something. On the 3rd photo, we can see sprocket, so the plate over it is the back plate that is over engine. That plate is mounted “over” the crew plate. That is unusual, as most of the time the plates are in line or the crew plate stick out. Is this the “3rd” version of OES version i failed to find any pics i can connect to?

And here the engine plate (it is hard to tell on the phone) is again under the crew plate. Hmmm, it also has different design unless my brain is not working due to late hour(no it is not, it is a different type of plate, unless left and right side are different, also the wheels are painted, 2 different tanks)
