Some good photos of a Challenger 2 OES, showing the added side armour along the hull side and the road wheels (not modelled ingame currently)

Question I have had since I first saw a Challenger 2; what is the round thing on the right hand side of the LFP? Is it cameras? lights? I need to know!

Maybe we can issue a few bug reports for it, mostly the extra little bit of armour but also the OES CAN actually take off the armour (like I thought as it is just a CR2 upgrade) but also the lack of camo net
Do you speak of this thing? because I’d want to know too
Afaik its an armour plug, but for what i really don’t know

Yeah, a long while ago I wanted to get realistic RC tanks like Henglong’s Challenger 2, it shoots, made me happy but it also came with a camera and I believe that is where the RC camera was mounted

I’ve already reported the ability for the OES to take off it’s addon armour in an existing bug report which was accepted a few months ago :)

I used similar but not identical photos with most of the armour (apart from the backing plate) removed
Arguably the most important report with regards to the OES armour is the applique UFP addon.
You can see it there, there is a 50-70mm armour plate mounted on top of the existing armour. If we got this added, it could increase the UFP protection from ~500mm to up to ~600mm. I made a report, but it got shot down, if someone wants to try again that would be great.
Currently this plate isn’t present on any Challenger 2 ingame, with the OES currently incorrectly having a 25mm structural steel spaced plate modelled instead.

Honestly for most CR2s, I just want the UFP plate and the addon LFP cover, those 2 things go a long way to survivability from what I have experienced in-game.
I am also glad we get to keep the M2 browning, that at least makes the OES better in that regard. (I know the RWS can take the L37A2, M2HB and Mk19 but I made a suggestion for that months ago and it was just never passed to the forums)
I reported that missing UFP plate a long time ago to
Did it get accepted?
I don’t remember I forget things now I’m getting old 😭😂
All good lol, I couldn’t find yours but it seems that Fireball made a similar report

The hull side armor is probably similar to the abrams hull side armor with the additional plate being the same thickness as the base hull side plate.

Possible to create a new thread of all the bug reports that have been accepted / ignored, listed in 1 clear coherent list so that it gets some attention?
Yeah the link dosen’t seem to work anymore, I think it got removed? I dont know why
Slightly outdated, I’ve but here’s the main bit and a few others that need to be added
1 Example being the Challenger 2s having the Wrong Gear Ratios

Awesome on the rounds performance, so the only reason they don’t make it better is because they intend for bias.
It get’s old playing with machines that don’t work correctly. Even the TES and OES NERA side armour behaves like ERA that doesn’t work instead of NERA. Why can’t we have anything fun?
