What version does the OES have? I always see people saying it should be better but idk how much
I did quite well with it stock, mines still doesn’t have half the mods, ERA included.
What i find is folks who complain tend to just shoot the UFP and then moan about it.
Few images proofing that the TES package on the side hull is 3 layer’s.
1st - 40/80mm RHA Backplate
2nd - 200mm thick VAMAR composite block
3rd - ASPRO-HMT ERA
We know at minimum VAMAR Series 1 on challenger 1 mk3 and challenger 2 with Dorchester 2E can withstand at minimum 30mm apds and around 650/800mm against chemical ammunition.
And ASPRO-HMT can withstand 25mm APFSDS and tandam warhead ATGM.
With everything we know on challenger 2 TES and OES they should have the best side hull armour in game. Essentially no auto cannon in game could pen the side hull and should be able to with stand all chemical ammunition in game. But unfortunately gaijin just won’t do it but if it was a russian tank it would absolutely be fixed tomorrow !!

Does the C2 Black Night’s Iron Fist APS have its Soft-Kill feature in game? Its supposed to have a soft-kill feature in addition to its hard-kill feature to stop laser/wired ATGMs.

Not quite, BN lacks jamming module, just like it did irl.

Black Night’s soft kill capability was from smoke dischargers used in conjunction with the ELAWS and radar modules.
Neither the over-barrel version, or the side-mounted version of the active jammer/laser dazzler module for Iron Fist were present on the demonstrator.

Didn’t realise the Iron Fist had a DIRCM laser on it. I always thought that was a problem on hard-kill systems but glad someone had already designed a system before I thought of it
People my hate Israel but you can’t deny they have some excellent engineers all around the world

Only 2 years old lol
Im a bit confused about what the photos prove
Slightly more critically even if it did, adding a laser jammer on a tank would be absolutely catastrophic (CAS can’t get free kills on it). Gaijin would never do it lol

Especially MiG 27Ks when the APS charges are finished, or the Vikhrs or most other laser missiles
So the Meteo sensor mast has been missing for two years+ now. I’m still very upset about this.
