I still think that BN is an amazing pick for battles on large maps.
The feeling when a poor T-90M sees a Cr.2 standing in an open field and thinks that it is his legitimate frag, but IF makes its own adjustments)
P.s. The current status of IF gives us serious concerns about units with Afghanit APS, as the speed of threats is stated to be up to 2000 m/s
P.s.2 greetings comrade in several thousand fights on BN =)
It seems to me that the biggest blow was dealt to the 3TD, which had a local feature to survive a hull penetration without detonation. Now there is still no detonation, but the tank has lost the ability to respond.
In second place is the 2E, due to its BR and the lack of APS and additional armor that protects against some sources of damage
It seems that in the current circumstances, no version of Cr.3 will be a step forward for the tech tree
I find the BN is lots of fun on big maps and mostly worthy of 12.7 however when you play on tighter maps especially within city streets it’s barely better than the base 11.7 challenger 2.
I like the 2E but have no idea why it’s at 12.7
The 3TD is just sad and the redeeming feature for me is the timed shell for destroying scout drones.
Obviously, the in-game models aren’t combat-ready versions.
The Russian and US ones come combat-ready with all the necessary “accessories” because those two nations are constantly at war.
Instead: the BN is based on a demonstrator unit without add-on armor; the 2E is an export prototype lacking certain sensitive British technologies, including the add-on armor; and the 3TD… well, we know the story there. Unfortunately, Gaijin refuses to grasp this distinction, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
And I’m leaving out the missing spall liners and the gun mantlet, simply because I consider them bugs.
But subjectively, as long as we don’t have a fully functioning FKS in the game, pixel hunting with what I have on BN has proven to be slightly more effective (at least for me)
Not quite C2, But i noticed on the new C3 production variant that it seems to have a MUCH thicker front on the turret, the ERA on the side seems to end where the Old turret ended on the C2.
