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

The Insane, the British… aren’t they the same thing 😄

“We can’t fix the FRS.1 HUD because we only have docs for the FA.2 HUD”
FA.2 is added
“So… where’s the FA.2 HUD?”

I do.

Though, it should be noted, I’m a raging homosexual and a masochi-

Arethusa my beloved

Apparently Barham’s accuracy is on the money, as is Hood’s too. So that’s nice. Armour holes in Barham though 😐

The only round the export CR2 uses is L23A1 and only one nation uses CR2 outside of the UK.

L28 is an export shell, that is tungsten alloy compared DU for the L27A1.

IRL L27A1 is better, In game L28 might eek out a tiny bit more pen with Gaijin calculator but overall, not that much of a difference. Out of all the issues and buffs the CR2s can get, it’s one of the smallest and may do nothing at all.

the CR2E in game actually is the CR2EV1 06sp87

Honestly I prefer the ADATS.

Rather have the g6 with longer range missiles tbh

It would be a very good addition. But in terms of AT performance I would take the ADATS with a stabiliser and non-spastic missiles.

Ha no. Finding info if ADATS is stabilized is harder than it seems (especially now, that they killed most of my secondary sources)

Stock grind challenger 2 makes me wanna kill myself, and there is 2e challenger 3 lies ahead that I’m gonna buy during anniversary ;)

Cr3 will dissapoint you.

It already did when they change that 1500 hp engine to 1200. Imagine being British tank designer and put three advantages on three separate tanks and make them all bad

Hopefully is gaijin ever adds the CH3(P) proper it will be better…(we also hope the new fans will give it a good 1500hp proper and aps)

the ch3 is still not capable of 1500hp, current fan upgrade would at max let it go halfway there (1350 n such), actual 1500hp would need an entire cooling upgrade

Yea, your info is kind of outdated.

1500HP is still like the bright moon hanging above the head that can only be seen but not touched. What the real prototype of Challenger 3 brings us is: complete anti-peeling lining,give the ammunition pressure relief valve missing on CR2ATD,trophy APS (if Gaijin does not split it into two vehicles),better armoured package

If someone can figure out the data of “TDSS”, they may be able to get better turret steering speed and main gun pitch speed.

Haha, if the Ministry of Defence had figured out this and upgraded the active Challenger 2 in the army to the Challenger 2E standard early, there would have been no such troubles (MTU of Germany has become a brand under the British Rolls-Royce). The MTU883 engine is a really undisputed 1500HP engine without having to argue endlessly for the CV12 like now 🤗
