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

I would say RHA. It has to increase its ke protection compared to what we have now and was used as a UFP add on since Cr1 up to the Gen 2 plate (Excluding BN, that got Gen 1 plate back)

Why are you still sticking out >:(

It was supposed to be fixed but didn’t turn up in production. So it’s been reopened.

Well, the fix lost its way i guess :)

Can somebody confirm if their BN APS is not working correctly, mine seems to be firing 2 shots for one target, it also seems to fire at apfsds shells that still manage to hit the tank and do damage

Works fine in test drive

Thats normal, it cant stop top apfsds, but it weakens them

That’s what she said.

It is armoured steel, overall it offers 50mm of KE protection. The 2nd plate is about 50mm thick and definitely solid(whatever is inside wink wink), you can tell it’s heavier because it uses the heavy duty bolts.

A magic material, providing superior kinetic and chemical protection, called air (joke)

Thankfully not :)

nothing can top us

I believe it’s Gaijins holiday vacation soon, so if we don’t get the Chally 2 devblog tomorrow, we probably won’t get it for another week or two after.

Hopefully i’m wrong

I’m not hopeful. Then again i’m a pessimist. But given the lack of dialogue so far, I’m doubtful.

dev start their vacation

The rubber screen on the CR2E is broken. If hit by any HE shell, the shell will ignore all armour arround it and overpressure the whole tank. Funny thing - same shells can’t do that if it doesn’t have the screen:

Try it yo self
