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

I thought it was the same length as L27A1 but fired at a higher velocity (so in the Gaijin calculator might net a slightly better pen)

But I could be totally wrong. So dont quote me on that


will search some of it, i suspect it might be a different alloy too
edit: got a pic of it from the old forums:
the guy got 610 mm in lenght aproximately wich would be right considering its like 605 mm in lenght, also it seems to be just a tungsten alloy version

Spoiler

L27A1 is Depleted Uranium

L28A1 is a Tungsten Alloy

what was speed again?

Flame’s bug report may have the specs you are looking for

But other than that. pass. Others might know though in this thread

so based on the fact it uses tungsten alloy if you have info on the speed that means penetration should’ve increased over DU technically, depends on speed and density of the tungsten too

Yep. Id love to see someone actually do the math. IRL L27A1 should be better being DU.

But in the Gaijin Calculator… who knows what the results will be

if you have the tungsten i can do the long rod calculator but if i use my lanz odermatt calculator with the average 17,500 i can get something

I dont have any figures. So maybe someone else in this thread has that data.

summon em, i need all data possible

There is only 1 insomniac that might still be up

nah bro fell dead asleep

If you need Gaijin’s rod dimensions you can go to their APFSDS spreadsheet and get them.

I just didn’t look in this thread

@Morvran L28A1 should be faster aswell right?

Im not sure but if is lighter then L27A1 it should go faster

As the Charge bad for L27A1 and L28A1 are the same

ah then 1550 meters per second
i got this correct me if im wrong in something

I think the length is wrong be we haven’t got great measurements for either L27A1 or L28A1

it was nato obliquity, lenght its 605 mm
uh, its playing dirty on me isnt it, i give up with this thing
