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

on the way

Could you explain what its showing? I don’t speak code. I get its Cr2 changes though, and the green bars look like new additions / changes?

  • Challenger 2 (Dorchester 2E), Challenger 2 TES (2H) (2008), Challenger 2 TES (2H) (2012) “Megatron”, Challenger 2 Mk. 2 “Black Night”, Challenger 2E, Challenger 3 (P): minimum elevation diagonally above the engine: -1° → -2.5°
  • Challenger 2 (Dorchester 2F):
    • minimum elevation diagonally above the engine: -1° → -2.5°
    • forced gun elevation zone above the engine is now 4° narrower on both sides (in .67 they forgot to make it so without the Dorchester modification enabled and only changed when it was enabled, fixed)

Yea i know. Tbh im very surprised It got somewhere. The only thing i base it on is the fact that the gun phisicly should be able to depress more. And it went through!

Nothing wrong here, obviously the seconds talked about are from loader switching with gunner to fire. Just like in WT, mantlet got penned killing gunner and commander, gun only yellow(by sheer luck) so Cr could fight back.

I think, Nose here refers to the part where Lower and upper front plate meets, it hit the romor ERA and didnt pen at least according to tankograd

I have a book with a photo of that hit

I know a guy who knows the tank commander.

Very maybe may hear back in the distant future regarding it, maybe not.

Probably for the best… XD

It was tried, we still didn’t get the traverse upgrade. Waste of time.

Good luck, my friends.

Since I started playing with the Merkava 4, I can’t play with the Challenger 2/3 anymore because it’s still a slow tank to turn, a total piece of junk. It doesn’t even have armor and seems like a heavy tank.

I don’t see anyone complaining about this, so Gaijin will leave it as it is. The Challenger 2 is a disaster with a plastic mantlet and much worse than the Merkava 4. The Merkava 4 performs much better when hull down.
