Btw, you all seem so stun lovked by the round.
Didnt the challenger 2 get a turret armor buff?
Would have thought i would read sth about that
Lower pen rounds can no longer easily go through the mantlet, that is about it.
Handy in a downtier vs the soviets, but not going to do much to help in an uptier

Rule 1 on this part of the forum. Any whiff of buffs to the Challenger and we’re on it like a pack of whippets after a small squeaky thing.
As for the L27.

Soooooo now what? What happens next? Or do you need more stuff from us?
Everything has already been passed to the devs for their consideration again.

Lmao. Should we all place bets on what the next excuse/lie/blanket refusal will be?
I reckon it will be accepted and then we wont hear about it ever again like so many other reports
I’m trying to be good - so I shall keep my counsel.
An extra 100mm on the mantlet is nothing to scoff at. Even if it doesn’t completely defeat a round, it will significantly reduce the residual energy and spalling when it penetrates, hopefully reducing the damage from an absolutely nuked breech and turret crew to a damaged breech and some wounded crew. Just like how the trunnions on the t-series tanks haven’t made them completely immune to darts, but actually doing any damage on a successful penetration is now a complete dice roll.
We’ll see.

So you mean they could, possibly might just ignore it and give no response at all? Thats the only reason there might not be a response since you said IF there is one to give?
It might. The first hurdle is it just making it to live. We’ve been down this road before
I think we should all add eachother on Discord, create a group chat so we can have a private conversation of how to get/use evidence
now there is the fake basket I really hope the devs actually model spall liners correctly else CR2 will be horrid to play. every mid side pen and UFP pen is gonna take out the turret
