Both blocks at the side and cheek armour are named Dorchester. If they are the same, i suspect they are but there is no hard proof. Yes, gaijin modells composite modifiers terribly, around 0.6 modifier. The armour values are c&p from Cr1, where they got them in the Cr1 i have no idea, they do not seem to be proportional to the cheek armour.



2 interesting field mods, firstly the map on the rear of the sight and secondly the covered fire extinguishers on the front

Challenger 1 Mk3 and all challenger 2s !!

Not all CR2 have those blocks on them.

Would they be able to model the Ajax’ acusonic sensors? IIRC the way they work is they ping the general direction where gunfire, even small-arms fire, is heard. The computers aboard would relay that information to other units or vehicles, though that would be too powerful in-game.

Here’s some more details.

Yeah it’s updated VARMA

Nope, only 2 and 2F. The TES and OES uses ASPRO and 2E and BN do not have them.

Welp, good to know. At least we have a chance to get them to the Mk3 standard for now. Better than nothing. Next step is get a source that states some kind of protection we can base things.

Sorry I miss read I thought you were looking to know which challengers had VARMA, but know I know we’re talking about VARMA Series 1 which is on challenger 1 Mk3, challenger 2 DL2E and challenger 2 DL2F. As we know the DL2F and onwards had a more later version of VARMA !!

without trying to be too provocative… any ideas when we getting our Chally 2 devblog?

Yes, I’m very surprised too. They promised to consider Britain first, but as a result, the Abrams received a personal devblog.

@Stona_WT Hi there, do we have a timeframe for when we could perhaps expect this devblog?

I of course understand that the staff do need (and deserve!) a holiday, however this was December the 21st that the original dev blog was released with reference to this. With this fast approaching 3 weeks elapsed since the original post, an update would be ideal, just to make sure it hasn’t been forgotten about and for the sake of transparency.

I mean, we’ll wait and see. I’d also be interested to see where the Gripens are at in terms of performance, last we heard is they were being monitored but…
