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

I mean it’s the truth, WT’s gameplay loop heavily encourages an aggressive, proactive gameplay loop, why do you think LT’s with good enough guns are always claimed to be OP. They’re really not, but they work well due to being able to control engagements.

Hard to do that when you have the same mobility as a brick shithouse.

Gaijin should just shoehorn 2A7s into every nation and call it good.

I enjoy and do well with them, but im not stupid to the fact theyre near the bottom of the pile of mbts for effeciency and competativity.

As Hussah, Iuque13 and ablative kitten all said, the tanks themselves are not bad and have a reactive playstyle, if your team is melting, or you break through too fast you are not in a position, most the time, to catch up to the team, or pull of game turning defenses bar occasionally.

Maybe we should try to give on of the challenger (maybe the TES) a 40 mm grenade launcher.

It could make up for the poor mobility not to mention that if the commander is killed (unlike on the A
BMT 60) the loader can still fire the weapon.

This is taken form the Challenger 2 images of war series of books page 260.

This could be a modifcation called streetfighter in the TES modification.

This is page 145 in the same book mentioned in the above comment.

Edit: Could fix the stale nature of every challenger (except for the OES 50 cal) being fitted with a a gun that cant even scratch tracks.

I’d be happy with a .50 so I could shoot walls down.

I would personally want a grenade launcher but I see where you are coming from. The main thing is that it was equipped, how much is uncertain.

Also this could be a new camo for the challenger 2.

I am more interested to increase the soft factors on this tank then the hard factors (I am not going to do the armor research cause that’s a dead end).

I think the 40mm was rejected as it was never mounted on the RCWS on CR2, I think I suggested adding the .50 to the TES ages ago but ofc they slapped it on the OES instead

I think there are quite a few commander sights that are bugged atm

Can someone more educated in the process of submitting suggestions run me through the official rules and the unofficial rules of how the whole process works.

Damm that’s rough. isn’t it rather “never officially mounted”. The wording above states that the ladder (7.62 mm) was mounted rather the former 50 cal and 40 mm. In this statement it never specifies that the grenade launcher was mounted nor wasn’t mounted.
(I understand that the 7.62 was the main one to be used)

Then it follows up with the RWS was being one of the main features of the street fighter upgrade.

Its also weird to mention the grenade launcher twice and saying that it can be mounted and hinting at that it was mounted, then turn around and say it wasn’t mounted.
(I am not trying to argue rather learn and understand)

The short version is that you need photos, there’s images of a CR2 on exercises with a .50 mounted to the RCWS so that can be used as a basis/reference for it being added
