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

I hate you. I love my Perkins V12.

Happy to destroy your view on Cr2 :)

Why? I did nothing wrong? I just posted my vacuum cleaner :)

Gaijin outsources all their models as of now, every tank in game will have some inaccuracy or issue if you look hard enough.

And when they are spotted and bug reported with evidence of how they should look in real life I’d expect it to be acknowledged.

I remember seeing a picture of the Challenger 2’s lower plate with a spall liner yet I don’t see a report about it.

Was it not actually a spall liner or is the report just yet to be made?

Men gotta like the way British main report and acknowledge about their tank with patience and manner, unlike some crying babies.

Is there really no way to get the side plate thickness on the TES/OES back?

Unless you find a sideplate picture from the top or from the bottom, on a tank that is confirmed to be TES or OES version whatever we have in game from 3 available, then no.

anybody noticed how the ammo in the turret of challenger 2s sticks through the spall liner?

dont know if you can get the ammo detonated without penetrating it but lets be honest the ammo detonates when being looked at :(
If somebody wants to make a report be my guest, i dont wanna deal with it lol

I mean those rounds shouldnt explode in the event of a hit, from our info. Sabots have no explosive content and the HESH is inert until it is fired/in conjunction with the propellant…

yeah they shouldnt but its war thunder, and it annoys me how the two racks stick though :)

Mate you can literally see daylight through the challenger 2s armour blocks. Just be glad it’s even got a spall liner

trust me i know. I run only sabot and still got racked in my Chally 1.

Yea, that saddens me.

Has anyone ever bug reported the awful clutter on the 2E’s gunners sights? As far as I can tell they are the same magnification and FOV but the lines are so cluttered that its impossible to shoot at range with them.

If you mean the ranging lines, then yes, but it is not a bug as game generate them automaticly.

But why would they be different to the other challenger 2s when its firing the same shell and looking through the same sight?

The fov and zoom are different.

same FOV as on the CR3 iirc for the 2E sights which is probably why it also shares the same issue with the basic sight being impossible to use
