Magnetism is a marketing lie. It doesnt exist

see if you can do an interview and record it with the crew of Megatron, and get them to tell you that its not aluminium. If they can take the word of some dude in the MoD that chally 3 TD’s engine is 1500hp, then they should under the same principle accept an interview with a crew actively serving on the vehicle. If they dont, then it just proves that there’s clear bias against the british team.

Yes!! Great idea. We can then prove it and that my good friend, @MatrixRupture, is being suppressed on purpose to keep idiots saying the Russian and British Bias is just a fab!

Gaijin loves double standards, shifting goalposts, and obfuscating the path towards getting vehicles fixed; don’t hold your breath. Do they have a bias against Britain specifically? Hell if I know. All I know is that they clearly seem to think that NATO, Israel, and China can’t engineer a composite array stronger than rubber, while a… certain… nation can absolutely put third generation thermal optics capable of tracking targets from tens of kilometers away on a physics defying missile. Despite not having the technological know-how for thermal optics that weren’t utter dogshit until the 2010s.
But that’s probably a marketing lie.

Even the most modern of Russian tanks (not even planes), until that war we don’t take about that took “2 weeks”, only have 2nd Gen French thermals that are from the earlier Leclerc models. Russian planes have even worse thermals than what most of developing NATO (Germany, US, Israel etc.) and South Africa had in the late 80s and early-mid 90s.
Not the only built in targeting system per say. Things like Pirate and OSF on EFT, and rafale for example can do most of what the f35 system does in this aspect. However, the f35 does feature a laser designator, that the other miss, so in that sense yes, it’s the only plane with a working and complete TGP suit integrated

The PIRATE is not a bad system but is more meant for one main role while the EAOS is a all-in-one system with another subsystem that manages the all round cameras that also act as a MAW
All round optical capability is not achieved by the Pirate and OSF. Pirate does lack a laser range finder for accurate datalink guidance of missiles, but the rafale’s only goes to 40km (with plans for 100km for F5 standard).
The f35 sensor suit does have true spherical optical coverage, and to some degree the rafale MAW system being optical could offer similar capability, whereas the radar based law of the Pirate is more limited in that aspect, but only the f35 does show the pilot what happens all around on its HMD, but that is beside the original point I believe, since this is more of a defensive posture, whereas the front aspect optics are for long range (stealth) targeting
But you get my point. We should also get back on topic of how bad and evil the Snail is and how they are funding the deaths of thousands of innocent people for some stupid reason
This will likely also be removed by that stupid bot

Funding deaths?
some flex but premium Chally 2 is insane.
Its heavy, slow but made me think twice what am I doing with it. Its a joy to kill those pesky T-80s
I have better stats only on 2A7V

You have a handful games in it. Not to be that guy but CR2 is a novelty and a palate cleanser.
There is no world that you would trade your 2A7V for a CR2

he has almost 70 games in it, thats not a handful
It is compared to other players, how many of them was the vehicle fully upgraded?
I have a 1000+ battles in the CR2 and like many in this group, being stuck with the CR2 is not fun. It’s slow, under gunned, weak armoured and is hugely reliant on the map.
It’s a fun tank for the Russian, German and US mains who are used to having a fast tank, with excellent armour and great fire power. Something slower and methodical is appealing as I said a palate cleanser.
But when that is your only option you soon realise it is distinctively average.

It frustrates me when people say “its a hull down monster” when that’s a fallacy at best. You know what is a hull down monster? The leopard 2a5, 2a6, 2a7, T72, T80, T90.
Yes its the only strong point the vehicle has, however, its also the weakest at doing it in the game imo. 9/10 if you hull down, people shoot your gun; which isnt so bad in a leopard where you can repair your breach, or it’ll bounce, but the Challenger 2’s, it will pen your breach and take some crew with it, a solid 90% of the time; and can even potentially one shot you if you get hit in the breach. So, yes its the best thing you can do in the vehicle, however, everything else can do it far far better.
Challenger 2 in a nutshell:
-Cant brawl, the armour is too thin on the hull despite being 85 tons.
-Cant go fast, because its weight of 85 tons somehow doesn’t include any armour but has the weight of armour.
-Cant hull down as effectively as everyone else because your breach is the weak spot and first thing anyone will see. Failing that, they can easily HE your roof, or in some cases use APFSDS on the point the roof meets the turret face and still get through.
-Weak round (and post pen spawling) meaning you will often non pen things other vehicles can, and even if you do pen, without a surgical shot, you will likely have to fire again.
-ERA add’s weight, isn’t removable and does next to nothing in regards to protection.
In short, if you can choose something else, use something else. You’ll have far more fun using a vehicle that can actually do something, rather than being lacklustre at everything.

They work well on all the people with stock HEAT
which at 11.7 / 12.3 you will barely ever, if ever see as most vehicles are given stock APFSDS.
Too bad those big chunky era blocks on OES/TES doesn’t provide extra KE protection, it’s identical in KE to ROMOR-A and that’s weird. Some time ago someone stated that it should provide around 80-100 of KE and that’s plenty actually. Slow challenger are only TES/OES with all this add on and mass of 75t and underpowered power packs. Rest is decent (except 2E with euro Powerpack).
Mantlet should be buffed for me, it’s too easy to snap 2 crew member just by shooting gun mantlet when few pixels below you have guaranteed kill weak spot. I got killed few times through it and it sucks so much.
If I found it decent it doesn’t say someone will also play it good and score good matches with it
