In the TES doing a bit of live fire “testing” to see what can actually fall off and…
After one hell of a beating… apparently even the LFP composite can come off? absurd.

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…
It is true. Kh38’s etc got buff from 1000 to 1500. So now no trophy aps or any aps will stop it other than iron fist on challenger 2 now

I mean, did it make sense that such APS were capable of stopping 500kg bombs falling at Mach 1 and whatever the KH38 weighs at Mach 2 ?
Maybe they could cause premature detonation, but there’s still the shear kinetic energy going on, and co differing such APS can at most destabilize APFSDS, it was always weird to see them stopping high caliber bombs just like that
I agree but when it could and no longer can it’s a significant nerf.
BN is a bit of a struggle bus being protected from CAS was nice…it was only 4 shots mind.
Wait till Germany get the trophy system with reloaders.
Given the APS is the only justifcation for the BN to even be close to 12.0. If it is even worthy of being 12.0 to begin with. The APS no longer being effective against the primary CAS weapon that usually gets used at top tier, renders the entire point of the BN being 12.0 entirely mute.
