if this is true doesnt it indicate the cr2 would be the same and is missing turret roof armour?

Yes and no.

Yes the Challenger 2 is missing some roof armour.

No this doesn’t indicate it is. This is part of the upgrades. It’s like saying because the Leopard 2A6 has the 120 L/55 gun that means that the 2A4 should have it.

what im saying is IF we found a similar cr2 prototype photo could it be reported theres armour missing?

I believe the Cr2 prototype had very little changes between it and the production model. The prototype in the Bovington tank museum does have the roof armour on.

Somebody already made a suggestion for the prototype on the old forum.

So is it basically just the same Challenger 2 but without L27?

With L27

so a Challenger 2

In that case just add the Omani CR2 firing L23A1 with the improved bag charge

not in 1989

Challenger 2 with L26

Aww :(

Nah gajin don’t know what charges mean
Who uses L28 other then us oman uses it right

Probably don’t want to risk Russia getting their hands on them

Roof armour? That’s clearly 10mm of Aluminium.

No that’s not just normal aluminium. It’s Her Majesty’s finest kettle aluminium. It has a 500x better ability to protect compared to some composite armour and the inside is 20x larger for superior water boiling ability. This means that because of the larger space in the turret that means that 3 loaders can be used meaning that the CR2 prototype has a 0.5 second reload.

So what you’re saying is I need to go to my local Challenger 2 with a few magnets?
