Do you mane a certain part or everything? Also i just came back to PC and it is back to normal

Just… Just how? How do you achieve that?

So Step 1 i pressed Xray, step 2 i pressed Armor. end of tutorial. Seriously i have no idea, it apperared randomly. I cant replicate it, so untill something breaks again

for all the wrong reasons i’m impressed. who knew, must be the stealth/low observability Challenger 2 i heard about

I dont know about stealth, it had 2 additional guns smashed inside the tracks, that is the opposite of stealth

Also all these things clipping into eachother violently would generate a great amount of noise, and a black hole or two.

It is very hard to find a place where it will show armor value but that is the bottom composite screen

cant agree more!!!
gaijin makes challys reloading rate too fast, and ignore challys survivability. thats a little weird. especially they could even fight with 5s reloading time thats crazy, even reloads faster than franch Lecs. which has an automatic reloading system.
I think they should enhance challys surviviability. and make his reloading time longer than abrams. that could then glory our challys bakc :)

Actually the qualifying time for a challenger 2 loader I think is 3 seconds lmao

lmao i really understand what you mean
Sure chally could reach this reloading rate in real life but i think we should also consider about the balance issue /although i dont like some gaijined balance as well.
as we know all nato tanks could reach a higher reloading rate in real life but gaijin nerrfed them in order to balance this game
so I believe Gaijin needs to make the challys even more formidable while controlling its reload speed to match the average level of NATO tanks, such as the reload rate of the Abrams in the game. After all, the Challenger uses separate ammunition, and maintaining such a high reload speed is somewhat unrealistic.

The CR2 is a complete joke in game and needs to be way more reinforced than what it is

Most well protected tank in the world by the way…
Honestly if USSR can have their tanks armor protection be done under “best case scenario” why can’t the British?
Something like what Steel Beasts suggests would be far, far more accurate imo:
600px-Challenger2protection
Lines up with pretty much everything the bug reports and evidence suggests the tank should have

Umm
