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

Encyclopedias are the textbook example of a tertiary source. It shouldn’t really be a surprise that Gaijin does not accept them as valid secondary sources, because (generally speaking) they are not secondary sources.

I’ll be going to bovington soon with a friend of mine, I’ll be sure to bring a comically large magnet.

But anti magnetic paint

Well, have you ever heard of a funny thing called anti-magnetic paint?

That’s fine but then WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO USE IT?

If we hold them to their own standards, that just goes out the window.

When was the last time they used an encyclopedia?

Anti magnetic paint does work but you can easily tell if it’s applied and you’ll still have an effect on the magnet. Magnetic mines are rather heavy so it wouldn’t require as much compared to using just some old neodymium magnet.

Well good luck

Gaijin probably - “the aluminium backing plate has a steel dust cover”.

No they will go Aluminium is magnetic

Russian aluminium is magnetic so western should be as well. They just don’t know that all of the aluminium has been salavaged to sell leaving the base structure.

Who knows. They haven’t been telling us what sources they use until recently last I checked.

I think it’s more along the lines of “we believe because of such and such” rather than based of a source. A bit like the pixel measuring incident. Even if it turned out to be somewhat true, the middle being thinner than it should still, doesn’t mean they can just accept it like that. We’ve had people show images of the hull and it’s “38mm” plates and it’s been rejected. It’s the double standards of gaijin.

Don’t forget to take a tape measure and a 3D scanning tool doohickey.

All of us here fully expect a mm accurate 3D scan of the Challenger. If you come back with any less then as punishment you have to play 50 games in TES while stock.

make him play without Thermals or Lase

make him sufferrrrrrr

I spaded the TES from stock without premium. You may have adopted the challenger life style but I was born in it. I recently only realised I managed to spade my TES before my black knight lol, I prefer playing 11.3.

11.3 with tes&2f with the pgm’s on the tornado is just, chef’
