Need to check is this fixes the Mantlet. IT MIGHT BE HAPPENING

Well, not realy, between 140 and 560

The mantlet is still bad?

Yep

Nice ejection

Unfortunate. It’s so over boys. Changes nothing. The plates still don’t add up correctly. 400 + 60 + 30 + 30 = 239mm

BUY HEY THE CR2s GOT HEAVIER. LETS GO. Mobility Nerf.

How is going on? It seems that there hasn’t been any modification to the model since I was banned. It seems that Mantlet’s outer armor is still too high. Do you still remember me? I’m back

Do they just want to increase the weight or increase the KE value?

Unfortunately, the weight in the game is not linked to protection, so increasing the weight will probably only make the challenger more dull and the protection is still poor.

Gaijin was supposed to do a proper rework for the Challengers to make them true to how they should be irl, this was meant to be done with care and precision.

It wasn’t, for example the Challenger 3’s turret is a complete mess. The damage model and visual model don’t match and lots of the armour plates phase through each other or have gaps.

Gaijin logic:

Giving some random reserve vehicle which like three people play a 0.1kph nerf to its top speed? SURE!

Giving Britains most important tank a damage model which isn’t riddled with gaps and inaccuracies? NO, too much to ask for.

Now they seem to have just forgot about the Challengers, we still haven’t got the lower front plate spall liner even with photos.

I’m not entirely sure where to go from here, and tbh I can’t be bothered wasting my time anymore.
