I don’t have a criminal record, so I’d probably get away without jail time. It’s only a little light treason after all, no biggie.

Now, how much do I love my digital tanks…

That is up to you to decide. Well if you are at it you can break into RBSL and take the Cr3 specs

Also is the media one i should contact whe it come to some info about the 2019 chally? Or maybe i should somewhere else? There are too much categories to choose from. Why cant it be simple.

The ERA blocks on TES and OES float now on the sides XD since even the visual model has thicker side plates than what is shown on the armor view

Why is no one making the TES/OES belly picks?
Well, where did i go wrong? Im sitting here asking for tank belly pics

I now whish I would have bought the Haynes manual for the Chally 2 too… But hey if you need something about the Westland Lynx I am your man XD

I’ve got it. So shout if there is something specific you want me to try and find in it

Does that manual have any useful info regarding the armor?

I had a quick look through when I got it, but couldnt find anything specific. Shall have a more thorough look through for that tonight

Today I went through lots of documents that can be found on Scribd and the armor topic is just completely ignored both for Chally 1 and 2. It just feels like nobody knows anything about it. Maybe those classified documents sit somewhere in the bunker very well protected.

Im mean, yea. Chobham is not only the Cr1 armor, but also a base of the Cr2, and Abrams iirc. The M1 developed new tech, but their older version still use the Chob based armor

Yeah, that’s true. I even emailed the publishing company of the book where I found that Info about Chobham armor to find out if they have any sources of the book on their side or if it’s possible to contact the author directly. If I achieve reaching the author it will be a miracle.
