Challenger 2 MBT - Technical data and Discussion (Part 2)

Community Bug Reporting System

this is my report and i was just being dumb, i’ve since learned that the effectiveness of composite is altered as needed to achieve a specific protection value vs KE and CE.

as far as i know you can’t delete reports so my shame persists to this day

Yeah, basically. We got all the fixes we were going to get a year ago?

Knocking the challenger 3TDs reload down to 5.5 seconds should be the minimum they should do for it after taking away it’s 1500hp engine and laser warning system.

Even 5 seconds like the Ariete got. If its going to be a glass canon. At least make the canon part good.

Thats what that 1 american tanker on TikTok says. Infantry cant be on the side of a tank even with western ERA, Nevermind russian.

It would be a nice buff, but 56kph is enough tbh

This is the formula used to calculate max speed

Ignore the values they’re for something else

I always wondered where they pulled the very specific values from

That’s interesting

Fun fact the 1500hp CV12 variant revs up to 2500rpm, which gives it a higher top speed.

Spoiler

Though the CV12 in the CR2 is goverend to 2300rpm, if there’s anything to support higher RPMs being used then there’s potential for a speed buff.


It’s not really a variant per se

also 65kph… sounds familiar from a certain earlier convo lol

CR1 uses a different transmission so would get a different top speed @ 2500rpm

reminder that tn54 goes up to 4.875 reduction before the sprocket


from haynes (codeveloped with LT COL Dick Taylor)

same book says that while the 60kph is the “public” maximum speed, in usual use it goes up to 80 kph

also did anybody bugreport the missing composite plate on the mantlet yet (its the foward section of the mantlet arrow)
