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

I’m struggling to get over the fact it seems incredibly easy to one shot through the turret - specifically the part you point at the enemy - it lines up perfectly with ammo at the back

I’m probably gonna put a compilation together at some point of my CR3 just exploding while its hull down, I’ve not had anywhere near as much trouble with the CR2s

your onlt gonna hit hull ammo when lfp aiming anyway

and idk what to say to that because spall is based on penetration

No they do not at all lol The CR3 can get one tapped by 3bm25 through the breach, so imagine what a top tier round can do.

Since I’m new to the Challys how many rounds should I take in the 2 OES to fill the Bustle but not have any sit in the crew compartments?

it fills up both

2 part ammunition for ya

take whatever you feel comfortable with

( i personally take 18 L27, 2 HESH, 1 Smoke)

I’ll probably take about 20 L27 then, I mainly use APFSDS at top tier.

If you want to fill up only the turret (with darts), in OES iirc it is 28 round

I just checked, it’s 29.

I take 16, never more than 16 darts unless it’s a long map

yes they do

acting like its the only top tier tank that can be 1 shot by lower tier rounds

i personally take 18 darts 4 BESH and 2 smoke

I’ve every tree bar sweden at top tier mate, the CR2s are by far the hardest to use and least rewarding to do well in

marder III can one tap CR2 mate lol if you want me to get into it.

I guarantee that if I take a load of shells on a long range map. Im either instantly killed or dont see an enemy the entire game. If i forget to increase my ammo count, I get into an epic spot, and kill quite a few, but run out of ammo.

This is the way

and an m22 can one shot a BMPT it changes nothing.

congrats? i guess i mean im only top tier britain germany russia japan and america almost and the challengers are not hard to play different sure but you can do well in them super easy

Just happened to me in the chieftains xD I just tend to stick with me 16 + 2 I try not go over 18 shells in almost every tank.

Does when it can happen frequently mate.

they’re the

  • worst penning top tier round.
  • slowest
  • slowest reloading once past the initial ready rack.
  • worst turret traverse at 12.7.
  • good turret armour? that’s it lol.

The 11.7 CR2s I haven’t used in a long while, I don’t see the point. At 12.7 I genuinely prefer to uptier merkavas over using the BN and 2E, that being said, I am not negative in the BN or 2E, I am negative in the initial 3 CR2s.

And the 3TD I used a smattering of times and refuse to use again.

They have the anti meta gameplay loop literally.

EDIT: Now negative in the 2E lol

If you get a downtier, they are quite good. Base CR2 is pretty good in the GSB bracket that isnt top tier one.

But since the BMPToxic, yeah. I dont see the point really either.

your saying frequently like everyone brings a marder to top tier, the armours good enough to be usable + you get iron fist

  • 2nd worst penning behind BTA4 but your gonna be aiming for the EXACT same weakspots on everything

  • just as fast as a T90M and the challenger 2E if we consider it is one of the fastest

  • the ready rack sure i agree with

  • 31 degrees a second i wouldn’t consider bad its better than the japanese

the CR3TD gets a horrible wrap and i still dont know why yeah sure the turret armour sucks but you get better survivability and firepower over the other CR2 and 3rd gen thermals

that i dont get, its a better leclerc

and as for the 11.7 ones they were amazing before the terminator came in

The CR2 is not better than a leclerc mate.

Didn’t use them mate just used my Chinese , Italian and merkavas. as well as the Leopard 2s

yeah mate it is mate, the cr2E has just as good mobility with a similar round while not having a turret basket or an FCS that can be destroyed by .50 cal oh and actual turret armour plus a .50 cal on the roof oh and spall liners on the ufp and turret mate and just as good survivability as the CR2 is 4 crew instead of 3 crew

oh + the leclerc can be 30mm by the terminator to the lfp and kill practically everything the chally will at most lose the driver so i disagree with you there mate

also looking at your stats you havent even bothered to give the CR3 a chance or even spade the CR2E? your giving an opinion on tanks you 1: have barely played and 2: clearly dont know how to play
