What it seems to suggest is the brick is made up of the same explosive tile / passive tile repeating combo as the large ASPRO-HMT blocks, so i’m going with that :P

I swear with the amount of work i’ve put into Gaijin’s Challenger 2, I should just file a FOIA request to the MOD for the applique armor on CR2
That or Gaijin should begin paying me for doing their work lol

I think its important to mention that “Reactive armor” doesn’t necessarily mean ERA, NERA is a form of reactive armor, just not explosive. I dont think that side armor has ERA since it looks like the same composite block just made smaller for the turret

There’s actually a ton of information on CR2’s armor packages, if you don’t mind visiting some absolutely bizzare websites lol
The real one I want to definitively prove is that infront of the gunners knees inside CR2 is a mirrored charge / projectile bin like on the loaders side, back left of the drivers seat. It’s exactly like this in CR1:
The only difference, i’m thinking is that CR2 removes any ammunition from the driving compartment, so the ammo behind the seat and left of the drivers knee shouldn’t exist.
…y’know, like they did on CR3 (P) lol

You know? Im pretty sure I die more to the rear ammo bins than the front ones, I believe the Chally 3 will actually be a good amount more survivable even with the unprotected turret ammo…
I dont carry enough ammo to have any in the front so im missing data points but logically it makes sense as to why the rear gets hit more often

For me at least, it’s more so the idea of getting killed in a way that shouldn’t be remotely possible.
This is CR2’s interior driver compartment - No charge bins visible on the left knee area
Same place, there’s a set of drawers there but not for ammo
When sat in CR2, your knees would be in the way anyway to slide a round out. Let alone how the logistics of the driver slinging it over their head and into the turret lol
The CR1 DID have these bins, but you can see they’re very obvious to spot and are high up. The chair’s frame would get in the way if they were any lower, but Gaijin’s CR2 suggests we somehow slide a charge through our legs and thighs, through a metal chair structure and over our heads and behind us lol
I think Cr3 (p) has the most accurate ammo presentation.

Don’t even get me started on how our loader can phase his arms through the floor of the turret basket to reach projectiles…

If you look in CR1 thread i posted a video that youll love
Thats simple, he drinks the earl gray and gains ability to summon shells into his hands
The ammo should be unchanged in location from CR1 except for the driver compartment.
Finding a photo from the gunner or commander side looking down though? Next to impossible. I’ve got ones for the loader which show the left giant box of ammo but not the right
