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

This is quite frankly ridiculous and I feel the need to point out just how ridiculous it is.

Gaijin - Sorry, we don’t believe the British army and the people who are developing the round about it’s capabilities so no, the round won’t do in game what its own developers say it can.

Also gaijin - we think the Russians need a IR guided air to ground missile so we will just create the kh-38MT even though there’s no evidence it ever actually existed, we’ll also make the seeker perform so far past its own marketing brochure claims that it would make Pravda blush.

It’s ridiculous, a double standard and utter hypocrisy.

Ah - but you see - that’s not the T-80U we have in War Thunder. The one where the armour is suspiciously over and above that of what it is in real-life.

Ah that’s what I was trying to find. Then again they wont take this as a source even though this source I think comes from one of the training bases and I think its the one in Kent. The destroyed picture should also clearly sum it up but I guess not to their eyes.

I feel like they speak to any real life engineers or mechanics for RE who are based around the UK working on these types of vehicles in their workshops they still wouldn’t take that as a reliable source.

they refuse to use a fair bit of evidence from ukraine which means two of the wrecks will be ignored. which is fair enough as its a major sore point for russia.

Gaijin can also be absurdly stubborn then they think the are correct, even when easily proved wrong.

The thing is, if it was for game balance then they should just be honest and admit that rather than coming up with explanations that a 5 year old can see straight through. It just makes them look stupid and dishonest.

yeah i know…this is why this is crazy

I mean this isn’t the only time they don’t believe the actual manufacturers and people who have worked on or built the things. I still don’t understand why to this day they won’t believe anything even if it is coming from a direct source from the correct manufacturers or as said mechanics for those vehicles.

I think that is what is aggravating people, they wont tell us anything at all on why they added this in the first place and honestly this sums up their lack of communication and information they give to us as a community.

If they are telling us something they made a post about it after everything becomes heated to then clear stuff off their back after its too late.

Let the russians have their fun in game because in real life its not going too well…

Smin, no disrespect meant here, but that is on the same level as admitting ignorance, the post talking about the challenger 2 from a few years ago no longer carries weight with many of us, and the addition of an abrams to the tree should not mean the cr2 has to suffer as a result

Hey now, the current makeshift META ain’t build itself.

Here is a fun one for you the T-90M seen is using the T-72B (89) composite array as proven by destroyed models.

So why would the T-80U armour be upgraded over the T-80B when Russia relies so heavily on appliqué armour systems

Cant wait till they say its for “Balance”

Meanwhile the balance:

I’m not sure if this data is correct, but it would be clear that at a certain point, the Kontakt 5’s protection wasn’t enough for the armor underneath to stop the new APDS-FS projectiles. It’s also curious to see how in War Thunder the Textolite is a magical protection, while in reality the most modern Soviet tanks did without it.
