Bug list should be up to date, let me know if I’ve missed any.

Yeh im not even going to bother playing it, I’d sooner just play the challenger 1, this rework was not worth the wait imo and by playing it in its current state would feel like I’d be accepting im happy enough with it to plsy it which im not. So id rather the stats do the talking and just play another nations top mbt instead of the suffer waggon.

Rounds shouldn’t be going anywhere after going through that, the breach essentially covers that entire mount and the outer extreme edges are covered by the cheeks armour packs irl, in game they’re only covered by the 2 exterior lapped plates of the cheek armour. There’s like a void which has no amour before the round hits the rotor pin area.
thats because the rotor is smaller than what it should be. then it leaves gaps.
It’s not just that, it’s under armoured in that section, it’s only counting the 2 exterior lapped plates, there a section behind irl that covers it aswell. If you look at the model in game the NERA or now stacked plates don’t cover this area.
I’ve given up tbh. Only chance the Challengers get an accurate remodel is if WT is bought by another company.

Breach still sucks, if I close my eyes and fire at it in the armour viewer I kill 9 times out of 10. This forum is a waste of time.

I’ve lost all motivation to attempt to play top tier with CR2s. Compounded by taking a break from Warthunder due to boredom.
My first 11.3s tanks were the CR2 and only to see that they are hands down the worst top Tier MBT in the game. The only thing the CR2s have going for them is the cheek armour. Every time I play the CR2s, I feel like my head is cut off, I just don’t know how to play them.
Speed? Slowest tank, will never get its proper mobility. Leclerc are in a similar situation.
Shell? Actually the worst. Potential Skill issue on my part I guess
Reload? You get 4 shots, after that go afk and wait for replenish or suffer with long reload.
Turret armour? Good cheek armour but no one is going to shoot your cheeks anyway.
Hull armour? Exist, all I can say.
TES/OES Addon Armour? Useless weight just like SEPv2. Does nothing, can’t remove it. Would prefer it if Gaijin didn’t waste time and money adding the TES/OES/SEPv2 and the other NATO era carrying tanks. In the lifespan of this game, they will never get the ERA close to it’s IRL counterparts.
If your going to add a tank with ERA as its main game-play gimmick, make the weight worth it.
I was really hoping that with the amount of bug reports and effort that was put in over the last 6 months to get the Challenger 2s in a better state. Finally when Gaijin relents and gives us a remodel, they take it and throws it in our face and tells us to piss off.
At this point, just lower all of the BRs of CR2s by .3. I really do hope one day when Gaijin decides that if they put effort into minor nations and making their vehicles decent, that more people will play them.

I got suspended for saying they didn’t care about the game but only about money…. I’m not even gonna bother at this point.

If that wasn’t true they wouldn’t have dropped like 6 premiums this update and actually bothered to finish the challenger 2 rework not to mention actually launch the update in a playable state… What are we on now patch 6/7 after even a test/dev server? Id expect this from something like star citizen… Not war thunder in its 11th year of a finished game

I give up too ill be back when the challenger is fixed. More of a point and click Cod rip off than a tank game at this point (for every nation but russia that is)
I’m off to find more information on ww2 and early Cold War British tanks. I need the 2pdr Saladin with apds and apds for the churchills so we have a round that can actually do damage. I can even find information instead of trying convince gaijin they either can’t read or do simple math. As they can’t and have proven so multiple times.
The funny part is, the Challenger Mk2/3 are fun tanks for 10.0/10.3. Favorite tanks and favorite lineup.
Too bad the complete opposite is true for CR2s.

I wouldn’t mention it, they will then nerf or move it up as how dare we have something nice.
They will give the Challenger DS L26 then move all Mk3 to 10.7.

I know it’s not chally 1 thread but funny thing that happened to me. A 292 shot me and penned my check (so much fun facing this shit) but I had no ammo in the turret. My radio caused a fucking ammunition explosion…. I was beyond confused and wondered if the ammo had just not loaded but after checking back I had no ammo in the back of the turret at that point so it was my radio. I love playing these amazing tanks which have no “bugs” whatsoever.

Am I going mad or do i feel like the CR2 got worse after the update?

Definitely worse
It did get much worse.
The CR2 getting ‘fixed’ was the only thing I was looking forward to this update.
Should have known better, that we’d get Gaijin’d, hard.
Before, the enemy only had to sneeze to take my breech, now they only need look at me.
