dont tell it to me dude. im not the one who decided that.
So now the trunnion pin holes are back… I swear to god, this goes back to what I was saying before. The moment we get happy about a change, Gaijin see we are smiling and revert it, because nothing is sacred and we are allowed nothing good in this life.

Not playing above 10.3 seems to be the way right now it’s the last br before everything goes to 💩 which is a shame because there are some wonderful vehicles in the game but you can’t enjoy them for various reasons that require classified dokuments and a tin of tomatoes (honestly that post made my day 🤣)
It will come to live sans trunnion pins and GJ will require a bug report which will be bounced back and forth for 2 months before finally getting accepted and then getting stuck in the queue for 3 years.
pretty sure similar things have happened before. its just a repeated cycle of “oh you are happy? that’s a shame.”
My favourite is the gun mantlet being in the incorrect place after they did the rework and still being in this sorry state after funnily enough 3 years.
if they remove the pins, the BARE MINIMUM they can do is make something up to go inside the bloody holes; because right now those being there makes no sense, and them being filled made more sense considering the bits that are missing. Not only is it a weak spot from a combat point of view, its a weak point structurally afaik, giving other things around it sheering points.
I was thinking the same thing… I highly doubt you’re getting 700mm of 0 deg game pen IRL with that rod. Nothing short of magic could make that happen.
How do they manage to fuck up something thats already fixed!
Spite. I swear its out of spite. We cant even have something good. It didn’t even make it to the live server where we could enjoy it FOR FIVE MINUITES before they decided it was too much.
Isn’t the Challenger 3 TD a prototype/in the future vehicle beyond 2020?
If I remember Challenger 3 (TD) is actually Challenger 2 (ATD) which would mean its technically 2019? However I may be wrong.
Its Challenger 2 ATD (DSEI 2019)
AKA Challenger 2 LEP Rheinmetall
Challenger 3 was not a designation until 2021 i believe, and the first True Challenger 3 prototype was 2023 i think?
not technically, is
The Challenger 3TD is a (Gaijin) Marketing lie
but like, unironically
Good thing the chally got the furry basket, now if volumetric screws with the spalling it’ll still take out the horizontal drive!
They are gonna see those are K1 blocks and give it 5mm extra armor.
So gaijin does another ahistorical nerf to a British vehicle
While giving Russian tanks an ahistorical buff… again
For context, in the same patch as the CR2 nerf they also almost entirely reverted the BMPT’s gun accuracy nerf. It’s now basically the same as it was before.
Just an absolute joke of a company
I mean it’s still wunderwaffe yes? Because the mantlet shouldn’t be filled in as it’s a tech demonstrator yes? And if they add the Chally 3 production that would be what, a 2028 vehicle? I’m fine with it as long as they model things right, and balance properly I could care less about date atp.
Its not even been reversed
Its been fucked truely

It has the external pins, and not where the Pins are on the inside
Thats just completely illogical
this is what i mean- isnt that in theory a structural weakspot now?
With my limited MS paint skills, this is basically what they have done. the red lines are now weak spots in the metal, or shear points.
This makes more sense, however Gaijin wont accept it.
Edit: I apologize how absurdly terrible my MS paint skills are, I’m no painter.
