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

the rounds were nerfed, unsure about the turret rotation speed, but I know for certain the rounds were nerfed (and in doing so, ALL rarden gun vehicles were nerfed because of it, including warrior) and the BR went up, because players couldn’t handle it doing the only thing it could do, which is shoot people in the sides, saying things like “I’m sorry I didn’t see that barrel sticking out of those bushes” as if its difficult to see if you really look and have observational skills.

The majority of people have German main vision but people complain the XM800 isn’t broken at almost all BRs but the Raden doesn’t have realistic rounds, fire rate and the vehicles it’s mounted on no longer have the rotation speed. When the Scimitar was added in the Dev server, it had thermals which made it slightly unique vs the Fox but now the Fox is too high, the Scimitar is still in modelled incorrectly and I’m too broke to sue the pants of Gaijin

Turret rotation speed was halfed

Are you guys willing to help me with a Go Fund Me so I can sue Gaijin?

Xm800t can kill and amx30 Super frontally.
It fires that many rounds off it almost always hits a borked pixel and gets through

The sound also sounds like the B11 Strikeforce, where it has the 12000rpm sounding cannon but is just slightly slower firing than the sound would have you believe

Closest thing to the Falcon at that BR bracket a monster and being a US vehicle you see 4-5 on a team

I mean even in support role they are weak. It is not about the armour or the reload speed. It is more like the speed. You can’t really rotate around the map fast enough to support your teammates. Assuming they didn’t rush in and die that is

Perhaps, but i’ve found half decent success sitting as part of the rear guard. Providing sniper support and cover the widest flanks or protecting a cap point whilst the rest of my team push. Quite often results in me being one of the few left alive.

I dont really have issue with the slower pace though of the CR2, even in the fastest MBT I would likely play similarly. Im not one for FPS games and in gamemodes like ASB, I often stick with BVR combat over WVR gunfighting even in aircraft like the Typhoon.

I just wish we had a little… something extra. Its why I really want us to get Dozer Blades. They’d be a really fun addition and give us a minor buff.

How? Because in game they look like this:

They were talking of nerfs, but not sure if they ever happened or not

they were talking of applying the pen formula other rounds use, less point blank pen but also less drop off with range

pretty sure gaijin did a post about how they reduced post penetration damage of the rarden guns specifically, making them spawl less, which nerfed everything with a rarden. This happened pre scimitar iirc

I remember the post but I don’t remember if it was actually done or not, or just something they were considering

Honestly, I see no difference with the RARDEN currently, the spall is still pretty good for a 30mm

They haven’t yet nerfed the 30mm RARDEN yet, but until they announce that they will not do so it is only a matter of time until it happens.

Id pay good money to see Megatron scooting around with 2000 HP.

Just seeing a C2 run around with thst much extra HO would be a treat.
