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

Coming along very nicely now. starting to actually look like the Chally 2.

I’d expect them to be working mainly on the base Challenger 2 model and then use that when “recreating” the 2F/TES/BN/2E and CR3TD

Trunnions pins are partially here

The holes are still in the rotor walls, do are the giant holes for the pins locks
Protection provided by it does not seem to be here yet

Still very WIP then but it is coming along pretty well. Do remember they did state it will either come in the Major or in a seperate patch depending on if its finished in time, so it could be delayed till say sometime between this major and june.

Is the Cr3 supposed to have blowout panels or no?

Is that a slight UFP buff? I remember it being around 490mm before not ~525

The one in game is tech demonstrator is missing many things that the real CR3 would have like blow out panels

Its Unknown, the Tech Demo being a Tech Demo was rushed and didnt have them, along with lacking a spall liner in the turret. the Production Challenger 3 is expected to have them alongwith a full spall liner.

Yes but no. The production one yes, but what we have in game is 2019 LEP that was a tech demo, so it was not supposed to go into fight, so it did not got them as it was not needed, just like spall liner

It is known, the roof is solid, so there is no plate that could be blown away

It was unknown to me.

IC, so unless we get yak 141’d we wont get BP’s until the actual Cr3

Also it seems they forgot the armor values for something, because the breach is way down to how it was.


1,still missing a 50mm plate


2,The hole should be filled

This seem to be responsible for the breach losing its protection. IMHO they are waiting for replacing the armor values probably.

still wip ? idk

Seems like it.
