Block
Turret
Hull
why doesnt the block show any values? and why does the hull and the turret have different modifiers?
What am i? A gaijin employee? IDK man

@Smin1080p sorry to ping you, could the devs share some light on what the protection values and modifiers for the lfp block are?

Tankograd may be a source for the block, they state it as being Chobham (implying 1st generation) rather than the Dorchester (2nd gen) in the UFP and cheeks.
Didnt it said improved chobham?
In this particular secondary source it makes no clarification other than “Chobham”, which either means actual first-gen CR1 Chobham armour, or refers only to it being a composite armour which could maybe be assumed to be 2nd gen eg. Dorchester, same as CR2.
Big bigger than 200mm though, wouldn’t you say?

200mm?
Block has 320 mm per game
Also Chobham and Dorchester are used however they please, so it is hard to tell what is what
Even Royal hussars mistake it
Ignoring the fact that internal armour is called DL1 and external DL2, but they also ignore that.
SPEAK ONE WAY ffs

Why would they put first gen in it though? it offers less protection and they probably stopped making it after the challenger 1 because it logistically makes no sense to be making an inferior product right?
yeah i thing the latter is the case, in the chally 2 tankograd its only refered as a “new passive armour element”
btw I noticed Gaijin modeled the turret cheeks of the challenger 2 to have quite large gaps without NERA, is that just some Gaijin shenanigans or is that really how it is?
take a guess
is it some Gaijin BS? that’s what I think it is.
I mean for sure UK would create such obvous weakspots in HULL DOWN focused tank
Personally I think they stripped some composite inserts out of a bunch of CR1 in storage. I saw a MoD scrap list the other day, if you can find 2007/2008 and see them scrap a bunch of CR1 turrets then you might be able to draw some conclusions…
also the drivers hatch area is a HUGE weak spot even though it seems like it shouldn’t be, it’s about 60mm(55 because it’s cast) and sloped at around the same angle that the UPF of the Abrams is, yet it’s less effective instead of more?
VARMA is Chobham, as it originates from Cr1
is anyone here willing to help me spade the challenger 2F?
