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

My favourite is the hull down 2S38 that you nail because the spinning dart dropped down below the hill they are hiding behind

mmm it never gets old. Especially when they rage in chat afterwards.

They’ll have to make the acquisition box actually work again first…

According to the dev stream the Challenger 2 will be getting air target tracking along with several other high tier MBTs

I’m unsure how useful it will be for the Challenger 2s, but the Challenger 3 TD has a timed fuse shell so it could be decent for shooting helis

That… is a wierd feature…

But interesting.

Wonder if we’ll see more modern FCS for targeting tanks too

No, Bvvd denied it

Ah damn

I really don’t want tank target tracking, air is fine as its niche, but tank target tracking (excluding ground radars) removes all skill from the game

The T90A and VT4 have got spall liners… nothing for the Chally 2, what a joke

Whats wierd. despite the CR3TD being the only one with an appropriate shell. I dont think it gets it. Unless ive missed something

Only the black night seems to be getting it sadly

Yeah…

Really ?

BN got it. Its… okay…

None of the others did, including the CR3TD with a shell that would actually be effective agaisnt helis

No idea what the IRL requirement is for the tank for that to be added

I was told the CR2s will, but just the Black Night did

The 3TD, as Morvran said,is the only one which has a proper shell to use it with. The target tracking gives your HE-TF essentially a proxy fuse as it perfectly sets the fuse for you.

I’ll have a look over the 3TDs sights and see if I can find any info about them having air target tracking.

So? Isn’t that the entire hunter killer system?

It seems so random…

As far as I know the Challenger 2 LEP and 3 use the Thales Orion commander sight (same as the AJAX), which in several sources including the European Military Defence magazine 2020 states it has automatic target tracking

I think theres a decent chance the 3TD could get it
