Does that make the Challenger 2 the Chieftain 3? :P
and CR3 the Chieftain 4
I could drive a real Challenger 2 to Gaijin’s headquarters and I imagine they’d still deny the thickness of that plate
I really wonder who they employ as bug report managers sometimes…

They’re volunteers rather than employees iirc, chances are they have a process/procedure map where one of the steps is smth like “if the report is about a vehicle’s accuracy and has no appropriate sources, paste in this message and close it”
I understand sources for things like engine power etc… but this is just common sense and I provided very clear photographs of it
Even the 1314 horsepower bug report took 3 attempts to get passed, with primary sources, their consistency is just awful

This is where the issue arises, sometimes the ROMOR nose add-on has a riser plate on the top that the lights are mounted to (as seen on the DL2E in WT). This plate seems to serve the same purpose, but additionally mounts the camera - I don’t think I’ve seen any photos of the driving camera mounted without that plate being present, excluding the CR2E that had a cutout in the UFP for one.
That is to say it could easily be argued that this newer plate is hollow and acts as a riser for the camera and lights, maybe providing some protection for wiring? At which point you’re going more on vibes, unless you have those written sources you mentioned to hand.

The issue arises when you don’t have a thing called “common sense” which is very rare to find nowdays

I addressed that in my report.
I showed them that the Challenger 2 (2F) has a different riser plate that is actually spaced and empty beneath. Ingame, the Challenger 2 (2F) has the camera mounted onto that spaced riser plate, kind of going against the argument that the new plate was added to protect wiring.
The Black Night also has a camera fitted without the large solid (or hollow if you believe gaijin) plate.
The plate is far too large to be just for protecting wiring, as we can already see the wiring for the camera is very compact.
Fireball has actually already reported this issue, which was accepted 2 years ago, my report just provides newer photos from when the CR2 was recently deployed to Estonia that clearly shows the new plate. He references an actual source that a ~50mm addon armour plate was added during Desert Storm (I believe) to the CR1, and later to the CR2 but I dont have access to it.
I hope I addressed what you said lol

That one is a Dorcehster Level 2E, not 2F
The 2F model (at least in WT mobile) has the spaced plate + camera.
It’s harder to see in normal WT, but so does the 2F in game.
I understand, my point is that gaijin seems to think the camera is mounted onto the spaced plate on the 2F late, which would go against the argument that it is made sealed and therefore appears solid on later variants purely to protect the camera wiring.
Each buff makes the CR2 good and Russians don’t like British tanks. CR2 is seen as meme, depsite being better than anything the Rusfed has in service and since it was used by a certain nation it has only accelerated that mind set.

no you can’t say that! TWO have been destroyed in the span of almost 3 years, it’s awful!
