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

strange, it does list what you said about the transmission and engine being the same as the Chieftain in my brochure.

The gear ratios differ between the brochures, not sure why.

i think there’s a secondary ratio somewhere, graphing it, both ratios seem to part at a steady rate

I mean that is something which goes without ssaying it’s british lol.

Still substantially less mobile than leopard 1 if true, though isnt it akin to Chieftain

For the BR and time period yes but Gaijin still refuses to give us our better firing accuracy compared to other vehicles for their time like the Chieftains or Challengers, Comet, Centurions with both 17pdr and 20pdr.
The Challenger 2 has been advertised as one if not the most accurate tanks in the world, even in 2017 yet in this shit game, Gaijin refuses to even buff it passed what we force them to

Chieftain isn’t accurate?
feels accurate to me when using it.

The accuracy in game feels alright to me? most tanks seem alright but for accuracy. Though CR2 In game is horribly miss modeled so I wouldn’t be surprised

It is but still the T-55 and T-62 come close to accuracy in-game when that shouldn’t be close and the Chieftain should be more accurate

On purpose most likely

The T55 is close ot it accuracy wise? always felt it was brutal tbh.
though the Chieftain Mk5 we got in game isn’t really a mark 5 so.

wouldn’t go as far to say that

Gaijin’s Christmas gift has been buffing all the Russian tank reloads, while the CR2 sits with a horrible 4 round ready rack

Just a reminder that, you should all enjoy christmas day with your families and friends. The challenger 2 forum can wait, as if you follow previous trends, all the problems will still be here come christmas next year <3

stay responsible and stay jolly.

Blame BVVD for every undeserved buff for Russia and undeserved nerf to Britain and France

The fact that people are saying China being favored just triggers me, like the most op thing in its tt rn is Z10ME, there’s no fixed wing cas element except for couple ir guided bombs, J10C is no where near the new AESA Su30 or Eurofighter.

Also the best mbt is an Abrams. Like you could argue the drama thing but China top tier is just meh

Why can the Pantsirs 30mm go through the side and destroy a CR2…

As much as I do think China gets treated quite poorly by gaijin, the J10C gets 10 x IR guided bombs, which is a very capable cas option

Yeah like I mentioned, it’s usable, but I’ll take 6x hammer or KH38 over it any day in the week, also pain to deal with DICRM

I think everyone would

Is it just me, or the challenge 3 and 2e gunner pov shaking a bit too much when firing? Like the spot you aim won’t change, but the camera just shakes like the tank weighs nothing.
Blank night feels normal, but all 3 share the same max zoom (10x). I also tested Lecelrc (10x) along with ZTZ(10.7x), and their camera doesn’t shake like Challenger2E or 3 when firing

Type 10 also feels fine like others, they do shake it a bit, but no big deal, just the 2E and Chally 3 feels like the camera is being off-center for a sec

Ive noticed something very similar with the Stormer HVM

Makes hitting jets near impossible because the sight and thus the missile is bouncing all over the place

Definetly new and this was in GSB, so from the gunner sight

I don’t know about gun shake, but I have been noticing when using NVD and LRF that my shot doesn’t always line up properly. I was completely stationary, LRF the target and hit the track, put on my NVD for a better view at the LFP shot, used my LRF again and the shot fell very short.

Repeatedly getting shots falling short when using LRF in NVD.

Question. Since not that long ago the M1A2 SEP v2 got an LWS and ROSY, can this not be bug reported for the Challenger 2 as it can also have it or would it be passed as a suggestion? I know @CHARM_3 already has a suggestion for it as a modification but would this just get ignored by Gaijin?
The bug reporting manager has better direct access with things like this than the forums, the forums are completely ignored and are only for the community to talk, they said this themselves

CHARM 3 is L27A1 though?
