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


Someday I will ask this South African SAM to join the British branch.

In the meantime, I’m working all New Year’s weekend

Yeah

There’s a lot of nuts in the rations so yeah I can see that going badly. I’m out of it now doing military contracting (the boring paperwork kind not the CoD kind).

From 110 Composite screen to 40mm RHA. Oh how the mighty has fallen.

@DevilO6 what year would you put the OES at? Or Dorch L2I, particularly the additional spaced plate on the turret sides.

First seen in 2011 iirc

Wouldnt want your tank commander to die after hit with a high explosive nut round

Death by PCB round

I think you’re right there, I’ve dug and as far as I can see Megatron’s first Tankfest was 2011.

The air and chobham blocks will do enough for the CE, and the 40mm RHa will be more capable against CE.

given it had a terrain following radar which was cleared for 200ft low level flying, i’d think it could be made capable. it seems as though they’d use the nose radar for targeting info. The only trouble is my source for that words it in such a way as though it were only CCRP for bomb delivery.

My book gives only 4 WE.177 Nuclear Weapons however I know there’s sources pointing towards 10x1000lb conventional dumb bombs.

Should get them in game if it is added

used by helis!?

Nuclear Depth charges are/were a thing. I think they’re banned for the most part now given how it probably wouldn’t be healthy for a couple of nuclear depth charges to go off.

Due to the fact we got a top tier MBT last patch I doubt we’d get something decent in March sadly…

We’ll get Challenger 4s before we get IFVs
