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

Yes, SEP3 did, which is one of the reasons SEP3 increased 2+ tons in mass over M1A1 HC & M1A2 Std - SEP2.

So testing to see if the ROMOR-A has the same issue as the LFP NERA does.

Baseline: Side armour at 60 degrees, as per the protection levels spreadsheet

Spoiler

KE matches the 95mm listed on the spreadsheet

Spoiler

CE is overperforming compared to the 640mm on the sheet (and underperforming compared to the 845 on the DL2F)

Spoiler

Comparison: ROMOR-A from direct front (~49 degree constructional angle)

KE is close to the 95mm but only in this specific spot, the rest ranges from 102-130mm

Spoiler

CE is nowhere near any value listed, very thin slivers of ~600mm but its usually 340-365mm

Spoiler

It doesn’t seem to copy the values for the side protection (which is the case for the LFP NERA sadly) but the actual intended values don’t seem to be listed anywhere…

TL:DR please :), helldivers takes up my attention lol

TL;DR gaijin don’t have intended protection for the LFP with add-on listed and I have no idea where they’re getting their numbers from

How many t80bs received thermals? I thought all of those were fitted with bvm packages at the same time

A whole 1 T-80B trialed thermals once

Well, when we report the TISP?

Denied in record time, i cant even get someone to look at my bug reports XD

It seems that the developers are aware of the authenticity of this document, as it has already been reported in the old Russian forum and a developer (BVV_d) responded (I translated to english):

We have data on tests of ROMOR in 1988, and indeed, at sharp angles, ROMOR could provide a greater equivalent of protection than it is now in the game. This will be adjusted after the holidays.

Well, in true GJN fashion he accused the submitter of “not understanding English properly” and basically dismissed them lol.

Weird of you to make a post claiming that Challenger fans are Russian… weird.
Keep defending Russia, Zuadao.

@Tr0lski BVM uses a different thermals.

strange how youre so much of a fan and yet you only post to defend the russian vehicles. you seem to be so excited about the buff the cr2 is getting that you bothered to ONLY post about that.

He’s upset he won’t be able to one-shot them through the mantlet with 3BM60 100% of the time now.

Challenger 2 isn’t a Russian vehicle; and yes, I’m excited one of my favorite tanks is getting corrected. Challenger 2s get stronger.
@SlowHandClap
Challenger 2s don’t fire 3BM60, they fire an equivalent round, but not 3BM60.

Its not even a historical issue im reporting wtf, its literally just trying to get the same era to have the same protection, i threw in a source to say it should go to the higher value :'(
