Dont forget the DS getting its DS armour upgrades if it moved to 11.0

Yeah, the Challenger 1s may get moved to 11.0

If they do move the Challengers up, a ready rack fix along side it would be make it more acceptable

But for now im just glad they got the hp buff

Now let’s see how fast Gaijin nerfing Challenger BR

Also Challenger 1s, Khalid (Chieftain), and the Shir 2

and The Challenger 3TD (as in reality its just a Challenger 2, not a Challenger 3 :) )

But the actual Challenger 3 should also get at least 1314hp as per this report

I think it will get more as the engine is the same but has been improved. Improved cooling, fuel injection, idk specifically but someone posted in here a while ago.

the problem is that we’d need like solid evidence for the new hp, speculation and word of mouth won’t do

The critical design review states the mobility is “significantly improved” but says nothing about what specific engine upgrades it gets

Bweh, Vickers Mk7 with double the composite volume of the CR1 turret, using the exact same tech (chobham) but somehow less than 2/3 the effectiveness. Vickers armor magic. Must’ve replaced all the steel with tea leaves or something.

This issue has been reported and “passed as suggestion” more than a year ago. Gaijin always picks and chooses when it comes to fixing historical errors, they only push for changes if they think it’s needed for gameplay, they dont actually care about the game being accurate to real life, realism is just an aesthetic to them.

By colour it’ll be:
Turret hydraulics/electrics (likely loses vertical+horizontal if destroyed)
FCS (likely loses stabiliser and LRF if destroyed)
Power system (same as any other power system: -stabiliser, -lrf, automatic 0% battery)

This is a not so great change, now getting hit in the drivers area disableds your stab and LRF

Not the end of the world but not ideal

Not seeing a reload buff or change to ready rack number…Still will not be viable at top tier

On big maps it will be. In addition to the engine upgrade, the challengers received a significant boost.

Playing the Black Night and 3TD on the dev server they feel way better.

The Black Night especially feels way faster, with the amazing APS it feels pretty strong now. The ready rack should be buffed, but i think the mobility buff is more significant.

It will until you need to fight more than one thing and your loader is grabbing rounds and your reload rate then becomes the joint lowest.

With how inconsistent L27 is the CR2 BN is not top tier. Imagine giving Germany a 2A4 with Trophy and DM-43 that is the level the BN is.

Saying the CR2 BN is equal to a 2A4 with trophy and DM43 is one of the most delusional takes ive heard in a while

It dosent even get trophy, it gets Iron Fist which is 10x better
