ah, that’s because protection analysis also includes what’s behind the block, which gaijin then uses for the intended protection levels, and you know what they’re like for STANAG add-on.
it also means that there’ll be a specific point on the side that will be used to check those intended levels, and other areas may have less or more protection.
So does the challenger 2 get it’s 1200 horsepower engine after upgrades or has the tank been nerfed in to the ground by bias?
When spaded it’s like 1217 horsepower
This information is easily accessible in-game, and if you do not have access to the game you can find it on the Wiki.
It’s a much quicker way of finding out the information you need.
Thank you very much for your advice i will look into that
In the TES doing a bit of live fire “testing” to see what can actually fall off and…
What have you done to the poor girl.
Generous application of naval artillery.
I am honestly more surprised that the tank is still in one piece then :D
The whole firing sequence is IRL is around 4 - 4.5secs. That’s pretty unique to the Challengers and the crew training. Everyone else having it is pretty annoying, especially when you see the videos of Abraham taking like 6secs to load.
I believe IRL the engine can actually run at 1500hp and possibly 2000hp but the gearbox it has limits it to 1200hp because of vibrations and noise.
Also engine life, they knew those engines gotta last a long long long long time and are low on parts so preserving them as much as possible.
iirc the expectation with the challengers and the chieftain was to bring it back up to the full achievable power in case of a hot war.

Good news, the Challenger (CV12) engine power report has been accepted by gaijin :)
This would give the Khalid, Chally 1, Chally 2 and Chally 3TD all a ~100hp engine power increase to 1314hp.
eg.
Challenger Mk.2
~19.5 hp/ton —> ~ 21.0 hp/ton
might make the CH3 semi worth it lol
yep lol
It would bring it up to almost Leopard 2A7VHU levels of mobility, which isn’t the best at top tier by any means, but its much better than previously
Well done, great job.
Although, forwarded for review is foreboding…
They seem to put “forwarded for review” on a lot of reports, it’s just a generic reply, but yeah they could reconsider and reject it.
I’m just glad its been passed as the first two reports were rejected for bs reasons, this is initially a good sign.
Friends, has anyone noticed BNs APS system is now unable to Kh-38s and HAMMERS.
It can stop a Hellfire and a SPIKE but now it no longer seems to stop Kh-38 with them just being an instant kill now.
Thoughts?
if this is true, i cant help but roll my eyes and not be surprised…
