Yep, the name is just wrong

Also, there are a very large number of people who think it is the actual Challenger 3, which couldn’t be furthur from what it actually is. The amount of times ive had to explain this to people, entirely because of gaijins bad naming, is ridiculous.

I guess that is what Gaijin wants. So when the actual CR3 arrives and its little better, no one is surprised and htey can just go on pretending that Britain is DOA IRL and therefore DOA in-game

Challenger 3 has blow out panels but yes, The UK likes to use its tanks in hull down, in a tree lime 3 mikes away which is why the challenger 2 had its explosive charges in the hull. If the turret is penetrated, there is no explosion. Unlike challenger 3 which also has a big gaping breach.

A little hopium with regards to the Challenger 1/2 ready rack report.

We can hope. But we’ve heard that before

I will give them credit that when this happened with the engine power report, they did actually fix it quite quickly

The ready rack fix would be a huge buff for the Challengers

the government used it for the CR3 announcement article and it was present at the initial CR3 press conference also

Its in the thread unless he nuked it all

The government occasionally refered to the 2 LEP as the Challenger 3 for marketing purposes, but at actual defence shows what we have ingame was either never or extremely rarely called a Challenger 3 TD

If you look at the MOD’s defence imagery site

The vehicle which is actually refered to as the Challenger 3 Advanced Technology Demonstrator is one of the very early prototypes, not the 2 LEP

uh huh

The obvious choice is just to call the Challenger “3TD” the Challenger 2 LEP to differentiate it, otherwise we are going to potentially get two vehicles with the same name

or they could call the prototypes “prototypes,” or even “pre-production,” and then everything will be fine.

unless you wanna go exclusively by file names, in which case they could also call it “DVD 2024” without issue

We need 3 things:

Challenger 2 first stage ammo storage to be from the back wall,

Challenger 2 reload speed to be down to 4 or 4.5secs

L27A1 to be buffed

That would certainly restore our firepower to acceptable levels

@Gunjob nudge nudge cough cough

either that or bring other people’s reloads back up

And/or to model blowout doors being open, nuking any protection from their higher rates of fire acheived where they would be open almost constantly

Since C2 loaders lap load or pre-load… should that be modelled or made a feature?
