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

I agree, the dozer blade actually made the hull somewhat hard to penerate with 3BM46 and 3BM60 on the dev.

We could also get the mine plough.

I suspect they may be holding back the dozer in order to keep it as a gimmick for the Streetfighter II.

A good start would be them correcting the thickness and material of the ufp mounting plates, they should really be RHA instead of structural steel. Also, some Challengers should get their thicker 50mm UFP addon as seen below.

Yeah … Good luck bug reporting that and them actually believing it.

Though I might work on a new bug report list for a dev forum post.

I think people already have, they just don’t seem to care

Yeah, probably. It’s annoying they use bug reports as a balancing tool and they only look at player stats. If they are slightly good, the. It means nothing needs fixing

Thank you for bring it up. Now I can suggestion my master plan of all of the forum commenters that have the CR2 crash its stats so Gaijin can lower its BR

Yeah… would take a lot of effort to coordinate that.

I think a Discord server led by some of the core members of our comunity like (and I’ll call them now) @Gunjob, @Flame2512, @Firestarter assemble!!

i think the ufp block is at the 65-70 mm scale, if i remember correctly, tho yeah hard to bugreport even tho the addon dorchester lfp block does use only that + most of the “naked” challenger OES kits seen in use nowdays also use that ufp plate

We need full cammo nettings, for all of them

It’s interesting to see just how quick this thread died. Like we got to 10k posts on part 1 and then Gaijin said “Nuh uh shut up we know best, clear marketing lies” and now part 2 is just 2.2k in and it’s pretty bleak.

A lot of the people who were putting all the time and effort I think have simply given up and a few have quit the game entirely and never plan to look back

I think that’s only Legwolf. Everyone else is still here methinks.

Im fairly certain there are a few others, but yes, he would be the main one

Take a look:

i might make a report about the missing CR 2 Mantlet Composites from the images i sent before this or next week

also have some fun excerpts from Haynes Challenger 2 Book (might sound just like a random book but its main sources are actual MoD people, tank crews n the official manuals)

What images indicate it has mantlet composite?

In the Chally 2 rework post they clearly say even Gaijin believe it has “combined armour” in the mantlet, does this mean composite or just multiple plates? I’m not sure. However, we never saw any kind of real armour added as we all know.
