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

It’s more Aston Martin Lagonda… Over Aston Martin vanquish lol

You got a new secret source 👀

Looks like some additional armour behind the drivers port is only on the base chally model.

CR1:

vs CR2 and onwards:

There are pictures of the actual block behind, but they were posted by a certain someone in the old forum. The picture did show it to extend slightly higher up than what gaijin have on the CR1 (up to about an inch from the top).

Nah, Varma is still a part of one of the OES kits

We should of made a mount that could fit all the kontact 1 they have

So a frame from the old swing in you backyard and a sheet of aluminium?

This is screaming event vehicle XD

Yeah

for yall that think that the new Challenger 3 turret looks abit odd, its because its missing its addon top composite armor that the challenger 2 has, you can actually see where it would go (the elevated loader and commanders hatch which would be surrounded by the composite armor) thats mostly why it looks so overly boxy

no the turret cheecks are taller eliminating the slope the top of the turret had

it did look cooler but im guessing this ads protection and another mentality for tank usage.

cr2 was meant to be in hull down inclined so you would never see the turret top firing at it, cr3 seems to go with “because we saw what happens in ukraine anything can happen”

while yes, they also removed top addon armor atleast for this prototype, you can actually even compare it to ingame, the loader periscope and hatch match in game to where they would be, indicating that not only it did get better frontal armor but that they also removed the top composite armor for this chally 3 demo (prob they didnt finish the turret fully to put the addon composite back in)
