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

The hull is clearly Work In Progress; many plates are missing even from the armor viewer!

i think i know what they did with the breech. the round parts on the sides must be 500mm Β± on the the thickest part. the middle plate where the barrel passes must be 200mm. im not sure if the top and bottom of the mantlet shouldnt be thicker.

so instead of being round it should be like a box

they also changed the UFP


there sadly still are some holes

Is the entire frontal plate now missing haha

yeah thats probably a bug (i hope only in the armor view)

The new mantlet has a thickness of 330mm, which is the data I obtained through 30+30+30+330, which is roughly consistent with the data from the dev server.
But there are still some bugs, such as only the left side being punctured by JM33

Should the hollow part of the mantlet not contain some quite thick machinery used for elevating the gun?

Can someone make protection maps for several types of projectiles?

The solid part can block L26 and JM33, even DM43

I am going to test it with my friend

But i want to look map 🐱

I will do it later, but the current data is inaccurate

The front 30 is wrong, should be 70mm

Can it? I don’t see the 50mm plate

Could you show me the x-ray, armour thickness and protection value for the roof above the mantlet, I thin I will report that tonight.
