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.

idk it seems that I enjoy struggling with bad vehicles than a the good ones.

Using American sights on a challenger when challenger sights exist 😬😬😬

This is insane. We need this for Challenger 2 but British. Hope this works on new abrams in UK tree. Best crew voice mod I have seen.

Since all the optics on the BN demonstrator have been replaced, I don’t consider the original Challenger sights to be suitable.

Ideally, maybe you should use the sight from here, but I personally prefer the cross in the center of sight and the green colour


My bad.

It still uses TOGS II. A nice simple circle with a dot. Nice and simple.

It does not use TOGS II. The position is the same, but internals were replaced.

Same, on old classiс Cr.2 with TOGS

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)

TOGS II is specifically the thermal system, won’t the reticle be a different part of the FCS, seeing as its still present in the regular sight?

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.

Looks like 4-5 inches more Composite on the C3.

YEAH, that turret is 100% WAY beefed up from the C2.

Gaijin:

So the turret cheeks can be easily penned you say?

“no evidence of internal composite, must be hollow with structural steel elements”

I mean considering the fact the C3 TD is still using the Copy and pasted Turret armor model from the C2, i don’t think they would even care if we could prove it.

Even the TD C3 had a different turret, with a different angle on the front.

The Physical and visual models are completely different.

The C3 also has composite in its Mantlet in the MODEL, yet it doesn’t actually exist.
