That the incomplete MBT80 turret on an incomplete CR1 hull iirc.

This is what the complete MBT-80 was planned to look like.

Do you guys think it’s a good or bad thing that it’s taking a while to hear more about the Challenger?

yeah its the ATR 2 which is the MBT 80 prototype I believe

There on Christmas break we won’t hear anything til next week at earliest

Looking positively, its taking a while because they will talk about a lot of the bugs and how they will be fixed
Looking realistically, its taking a while because they will talk about a lot of the bugs and how they will be semi fixed
Looking also realistically, its because they are on holiday

I hope we get this challenger as an event vehicle or a premium at some.

It was on the old forum but I dont know about here

Looks like an XM1

The hull on it was a test of welding steel to aluminium to make a lighter tank by having the front section be well armoured and the rear section less armoured wuth aluminium.

Yeah I know there was up to 10 M.C bombs from 6 in the bomb bay and another 4 on the wing stations. And it seems also some AShM’s. Nice.

Tell me about the CR1 Mk1 here.

Playing the OES.

Shoot a Leclerc 3 times in the mantlet, does absolutely sweet FA.

He finishes engaging my other teammates, i pop back up for a 4th shot, his first hit on my mantlet takes out my;

I notice playing any challenger that you get hit, lose 2 crew and are forced into a 30 second repair, then when you are 2 seconds from finishing the repair you die.

I shouldnt be surpirised by this, but it still angers me every time.

CR2 pain, doubled with playing at particular times is double the fun.

no you shouldnt be surprised

I still havent got over the fact that apparently L23A1 can explode with no explosive content/filler in it

Gaijin must just know something I don’t shrug

Is that with no smoke or HESH rounds carried? Still ridiculous they don’t have a workaround.

I have yet to experience it, it failed to explode to me all the time i tried

yep the tank in question was all Sabot.
