If there’s an accurate source then bug report it, I’m not keen on taking someone I don’t know at their word for something they said half a year ago on Discord lol

You don’t know Flame. He knows.

we don’t even know the length of L27A1 and there is docs about it performing better then M829A1

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/mdod9tP0jyX5

Dont think it ever made it to SA though did it?

I know absolutely nothing about the TTD other than it was supposed to larger caliber and such

Near enough, missing the little things like L34 and the breaking systems but got the engine, filters, transmission and suspension.

Again top speed =/= mobility.
mobility overall means its performance, forwards backwards and in all directions.

The CR2s also seem to have the issue of absolutely dropping most their speed in a turn compared to say the abrams or T80BVM

BTW i doubt you outpaced the T80BVM its got substantially higher PTWR in 26.6 HP/PT while the CR2E barely makes 24. Backwards though the BVM is useless.

Better armour ? where¿ against what ?
the CR2 armour is laughably bad in this game I survive a lot more with the abrams.
Also the spall liner for the CR2 is in a completely irrelevant spot being it doesn’t go onto the sides nor the LFP its only a UFP and turret spall liner which stops absolutely nothing.

Seeing as you can fire through the LFP and hit the ammo.

Good for you, im about 1.0 in it and thats good enough for me.
Your KD with a tank doesn’t reflect how it is overall.

The CR2s are arguably the worst top tiers in game right now, the 2E being slightly faster doesn’t make it pretty meta.
the clear defined meta sits squarely with the Leopard 2a7 and 122B+ right now.

Nout wrong with doing good with and enjoying the what isnt considered the best statistically speaking, I hate the russian tanks and tbh not a big fan of the leopards but do good enough with em.

The issue is getting it mixed up, statistically speaking the Cr2’s and especially the 2E are worse than most, if not all of the competition.

hence why most take the BN over the 2E due to the APDS being amazing

EDIT: BTW I was about 200k from the leclerc n got shafted by them adding the benelux tree, now gotta get three damn more things to get it,

What? the CR2 is heavier than both those tanks…

flame is not wrong ik what doc he is using but you can also ask him to what standards they have set their tests to, they are not using the same formula nor are using RHA, idk where the document is rn but should be in the last part of the thread

2000m RHA but not sure on the angle

it was simulated RHA, not full on RHA i forgot the name i would need some help finding the doc but ik it was an external test

Its “close” to M829A1 not A2 or A3 according to british tests at very high angles. But that same source then says the turret is 500mm KE / 800mm CE.

RHAE

This is a sentence

that

no mention of CE

Well i have a different doc i guess

Only has KE with the turret being 500mm with a stretch to 600mm
