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

I’m sorry I don’t follow. Those are ASPRO-HMT blocks next to the ECM?

YEEEP

Always have been, just smaller (not only game vise)

Right of the vertical red line. Whats the point those four bolts if they are not fixing the shroud to the outside of the plate.

But which area is Gunjob meaning?

Around the red line, as there ECM ends and smaller ASPRO is mounted

Oops, sorry they end just at the wedge

oof i misread what gun meant XD

Oh I see! Hard to say without some closer images
I’ll dig around and see, but we ca clearly see the shroud ends at the top with a lip, so it can’t be for that.

What are you talking about hahaha
He means the exposed area here.


What those 4 bolts are for.

Ok I don’t care if this is the streetfighter, there it is, the challenger with a GMG. (at least I think its a GMG, yeah it might be a .50cal)

Yea yea i realised that. I guess im steping out for a while untill i make the report

Not sure whats that. SF mounted HMG, but that look like a mix of HMG and AGL

Yeah, the barrel looks like a .50 cal but the body looks like a AGL.
The more i look the more its a .50 cal :(

At least you were told the devs said it, they partially listened


ALRIGHTIE! I think I can die happy now i’m done with baseplates and can go back to ERA lmao
Here’s a photo I found, uploaded to someone’s private blog. It shows a glimpse into the seem between Middle plate 2 and rear plate. There does indeed appear to be an airgap present.

So! Here’s where we’re at: The current game’s implementation is wrong, as it has it go:
Hull > Plate > Airgap > ASPRO-HMT
it should instead go
Hull > Airgap > Plate > ASPRO-HMT as ASPRO needs a solid flat surface to mount to and be flush.

Case closed.
@Gunjob any chance this information can be added to Community Bug Reporting System? The current implementation is still incorrect.
