? Challenger 2(2F) in game represents a late configuration DL2f challenger 2.
Since TES1, all hull armor has been upgraded Because new composite armor has been installed on TOE. You can see the installation slot on the right side

Why is it structural steel?
High tensile steel
Of what?
I believe he might be referring to the incorrect ammunition rack positions, which is already well documented.
is there any reason why they wont model the lower plate spall liner?
Because uh um um uh um uh.
toe and side spall liner
do you have any images that show the side spall liner?
Chally’s still… How do id say this? Ah. Incredibly fucking classified beyond belief.
You can clearly see that the Spallliner even surrounded the ammunition
it is a challenger 1 I think, however the cr2 and cr1 has a similar hull
God I wish they add spall liner to the LFP, that would make it much more survivable.
Most of the time I die in Challengers is because of getting hit there.
I don’t know if this is possible, the reason why gaijin refused to restore the CR2 mantlet is that the rotor amor will not appear in the game. But in fact, this armor belongs to the “60mm” armor rather than the frame itself
I can say with some level of certainty this is not a challenger 2, but likely an early 1. Those charge bins don’t line up with a 2.
