I don’t understand any of this.
Report about an ammunition explosion, might be helpful or interesting.
iirc it was an issue with the gun and not with ammo. The only ammo that detonated was the round inside the breach, all the other rounds were not touched in their stowage bins.

No ammo detonated in that incident because it was all L32A6 SH/P and L29A1 DS/T practice rounds, which simulate the weight and function of HESH/FIN and the SH/P are as I understand full of concrete. The bag charge went off with no obturator fitted, looks like it ignited several other improperly stored charges.

I believe it was only the charge in the breach that exploded and one on the floor, the others did not because the storage bins only had exterior burns and because they are inert…
is the bag charge even modelled in game? if its not im just sending all this and it doesnt matter…
Either way the report is interesting and has some useful diagrams and interior pictures.
YES

I mean, I can confirm that we wore body armour in CR2. In about 2018 we ditched the crewguard helmets and switched to the Virtus helmets and over-helmet headsets instead of the crewguard-compatible ones.
if we cant get spall liners on the challenger 1’s and challenger 3 we can always fall back on asking for this, i doubt they will add it to the challenger 2 because we already have liners
Just watching a vid about the CR2.
Albeit not a documentary, just something made by an enthusiast, it mentions the CR2 has an early warning system for missiles (MAWS?)
Anyone have info on this?
I’m not convinced.
Some testing was apparently done with MUSS and ROSY.

Cheers.
The chally in the second link looks cursed.
Apart from anything else going back to the Castlemartin report it makes specific reference to the loader removing ECBA, (Enhanced Combat Body Armour) which is supposed to protect the crew against fragments and small arms projectiles.

That is not about the Medusa. First time hearing Cr2 has that type of device
First time hearing that
We wore ECBA with plates when I went to Canada in 2016.
EDIT: I tell a lie, it was the older tank vests! The ECBA was worn on tank ranges.

I thought that Britain gonna replace that with the KAZ Trophy from Israel like on the system used on SepV3 ?
Spoiler
The Medusa is a old project, from 2019 and before the 2019 LEP was shown to public, with it tuning into Cr3 somewhere in 2020 and getting trophy mockup in 2021.

Fancy Virtus Helmets, but how did it go with headset integration I would think it has less space for bulky headphones?
