No. They shoulnd’t.
Do i need to Bring up the fact that Challengers have burned FOR HOURS before cooking off?
Or the Castle Martin Incident?
EVEN IN UKRAINE.
Russia put MULTIPLE MISSILES into the side of a already disabled C2, and it still didn’t cook off till HOURS LATER.
The ONLY C2 that has had a Full on ammo detonation was hit DIRECTLY on the top of its turret with a 152 HE round from Artillery, which detonated the RDX in the HESH shells that it was over filled with.
The charge bins were never compromised during that incident, in your footage and APFSDS round passed through what looks to be at least two charges.
Even if we assume that the charges should not detonate, then they would still burn (and that fire would not be contained within the charge bin). The Castle Martin incident has shown that charges burning inside the tank doesn’t exactly end well for the crew; they certainly weren’t combat capable after the charges had finished burning.
Is it ever confirmed that was the case? There is footage from some sort of FPV munition hitting the drivers area of that CR2, and if you trace a straight line from the impact point through the tank, you pass straight through the forward charge bin. Also of note:
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
The damage to the plate is interesting, but I’m still unconvinced that it was a 152 mm artillery shell hitting the turret which destroyed the tank.
Reports at the time of the incident widely say it was a Lancet FPV munition, and there is FPV footage of something hitting the drivers port area (pointing directly towards where the hull charge bin would be), with the position of the tank in the FPV footage matching the position of the tank in the overhead footage showing the explosion.
So there’s two possibilities:
On the balance of probabilities I would say option 1 seems more likely.
Also it’s hard to tell from the overhead footage, but personally I’d say whatever hit it looks more consistent with an FPV munition than an artillery shell. Plus the trajectory it comes in at appears to match the FPV footage.
You don’t know what you’re talking about
You’re saying to flame, the smartest out of all of us, that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about?
I think you yourself need to take a long look at yourself in the mirror and ask “Maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about”
Psst. Replied to the wrong person, though they do have matching profile pics :D
I didn’t realise Flames name was HeavyTanker1945
Now, now Gents. Friendly fire isn’t the done thing on this part of the forum.
We’re not USMains after all…
Elite laugh in shambling state of Tea armed forces
Model & graphic are pretty accurate
You see, this is the complete and utter issue with people on this forum having the same 6-7 pfp’s. Looking at you with Teaz and HK Reporter and … Idk I guess Flame and Jaden have their Lightning along with the Otter.
I just look at the pictures. I have no idea how to read. (Or write evidently)
Oh gaijin give us custom PFPs like the days of the old forum
I am the No.1 Centurion LARPer so that’s never happening
Boo Hiss.
To be fair though - I think I’ve had the pilot + Lightning one since the old forums. Never really felt the need to change it. Might have a play around when next in game…
Ofc it is lol it’s to meet modern defense standards
