20.0 is better

Cant wait to see how much they butcher the external composite man

Specifically that LFP addon

Im equally as worried about the EPSOM modular armour, I imagine they’ll make it completely useless

It matters even more as the LFP addon has EPSOM integrated into it

I wonder if it would offer Relikt levels of protection if modelled somewhat ok

mhmh goof uh 100+ mm about uh same as the one on the TES

That’s very optimistic. Knowing the snail they will give it something like 40mm and pretend that’s the maximum it can protect. 2020s era armor still cannot beat 1990’s era leopard/T-90 after all

Also the uh modular era on the turret i expect to be butchered

pretty much almost the same size/thickness as the cr2 mantlet composite area (main difference is that its prob gonna be filled with composites rather than a single dorchester slab)

Driving and gun handling is the same as remote desktop control even with aced crew.

I’m not too sure what you mean, the CR3 seems to have a solid mantlet while the CR2 has a partialy hollow mantlet

The gun handling should be better, both Challenger 2 LEP (3TD) and Challenger 3 use the Curtiss Wright TDSS turret drive and stabiliser, the same as the KF51

idk man, everytime I turn my mouse,the turret turn even slower ¯_(ツ)_/¯
General experience with chally 3 TD is not snappy felt like the thing didn’t get enough electricity

Other way around, maybe Snail made it slow because “the new gun” is in fact heavier/not compatible to the hull → slow tank and slow turret rate ¯_(ツ)_/¯

They can’t even get the NERA on the TES and OES right.

STANAG 6 defeats 30mm at 500m at 90 degrees. Which the NERA on the Challenger is supposed to do.

It’s not ERA, it shouldn’t detonate and leave a hole in the armour modules and only have an armour value of 30mm RHA which is snails retarded model.

Challenger 2 should have 40°/s of Horizontal traverse and a vertical traverse of 22.5°/s the q

The TTD is about the same except it seems they just tried to copy the CR1/Centurion to do the filling in for both and now they are dogshit from their laziness
