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

Damn, Was hoping for something more, eh is what it is

wish they fixed that damn ready rack though

A simple fix to the ready rack would make the Challengers much more enjoyable. Considering we have Abrams with the exact same reload speed with 16 rounds available is an absolute pain.

Because it would actually make the Challengers somewhat survivable, and we can’t have that according to Gaijin.

Like with how the turret ring hasn’t been added because they know if they give it any attention we’ll start bitching and moaning on why nothing but nerfs were done

CR1 and CR2 don’t actually have standard turret baskets though.

They’ve got a rotating platform under the turret ring but it’s not physically connected to the turret via large metal walls.

Standard basket would kinda interfere with loading procedures when a large portion of the charges are outside the turret ring.

inb4 gaijin just makes the plate itself part of the horizontal drive anyway and calls it a day

the hull side spall liners would be nice aswell

We don’t even know if that’s full speed or if he’s just panning nicely for the camera.

That even looks like an older model and it’s clear to see the spall liner.

So they made the top gear less torque but lower gear stronger torque for better low end acceleration and turning?

Exactly

Worse torque from 25mph-30mph, thats it

Identical/better elsewhere

After seeing the datamines it appears they also changed the Challenger 2’s moments of inertia, I’m not too sure how this will affect them, but it seems fine on the dev server so I won’t put too much thought to it lol

More vertical inertia so pitch, might make the suspension a bit mote bouncy start/stop, and more effort starting going up a hill

Other inertias being reduced is amasing

Less effort required to turn, meaning less speed bleed
