Yeah… Im not holding my breath

also there is another thing to bugreport, the driver port is missing an armored ridge behind the drivers optic (pic from cr1 hull, which shouldn’t have changed much for cr2)

I am a bit late but yes it is a typo

Here is the top speed from another Challenger brochure

Spoiler

a top speed of over

I don’t give a damn about any of this since nothing ever changes but that document doesn’t clarify much else and contradicts itself.

also challenger 2 TES n OES shouldnt have apfsds on the loader wall
as the RWS n new loaders things take up all space

Great find.

Ready rack removed for TES and OES. Base reload now 8 seconds.

just the change the challenger needed! 💔

If anything it does the opposite. its supports the idea that the main rack is the ready rack, like it is on the Chieftain and a lot of other top tier MBTs and the 4 round limit is just Gaijin being Gaijin

So the only thing that should be reported is that the TES and OES should have 4 less rounds in total than the others and reporting that fact, might kick Gaijins butt into gear

So @PuffyTornado definetly report that. By reporting a nerf, it might result in one of the pre-existing fake nerfs finally being fixed

I genuinely feel bad for people who play the OES. the TES is painful enough and the OES replaces the (already mediocre) ERA on the TES with comedically large k1 clones.

I thought the only difference between them was the LMG/HMG?

That’s what the only difference should be

datamine says they’re identical as far as i can see, x-ray is wrong and so is that bug report manager

(~503mm vs KE for both)

Oh they changed it. it used to be different. TES also had anti-tandem while OES used to just shatter like glass from them (not that it matters much with only 500mm lol)

I don’t think that ERA has ever actually saved me from anything

I’ve had it stop ATGW at very very shallow angles at the cost of losing 4-6 blocks (oops there goes all my side protection)

Probably doesn’t help that our ERA is just as-is “ERA”


while russia, for example, has steel covering it making it impossible to lose by basic MG fire or fragmentation.

This hilariously enough makes our probably 100kg+ SLERA blocks more prone to chain detonation than relikt.

Yeah, how Gaijin considers this balanced is beyond me

I remember 1800mm CE on dev… it was funny…

Is this accurate, an error, no info, or what’s up with that?
