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

without

I see, ok!

Spoiler

are we really sure its not something like this? meaning the trunnions would fit very nicely into those holes. in the photo we have the back of the hole is even rounded making it look very likely they were made for something like this

Thats the L11A5 gun. not the L30A1.

yes but the mounting could be similar

L30A1 Testing
i doubt it.

Well, no.

those mountings wouldnt be visible in this photo

nope

Because they dont exist. its mounted differently.

Cr1 has those trunnions go into the turret, where it is mounted. Cr2 has its gun put into a rotor, that is attached to the turret

i mean what exactly would go inside of those holes?

the way gaijing is thinking right now is that the rotor center hole holds the gun while the pins are on the outside of the rotor into the turret. so unless theres something like this gaijins assumption is correct

Rotor pins to the cylindical holes and their locks in the rectangular ones

Why are the two 30mm plates on the mantlet’s face now classed as composite armour haha

WIP moment i imagine.

we are very sure…

Still wrong?

Poorly made by me rn

Pin lock (imagine it is all filled)

so youre saying the locks is what fills the holes. cause right now what gaijin is thinking is that the rotor pins are part of the rotor.

when you look at it theyr assumption is that its correct the way it is. the pins are allready there and they are part of the rotor structure.

Yes, the pin should go to the end, and lock fill the rest
