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

Eh… I’ve never overly enjoyed that range,m though half the vehicels ive yet to unlock. I’ll probably stick with Air and naval for another few months instead. DW and Stormer AD are interesting to me, but no motivation to even try and unlock them at the moment.

10.3 is my usual go to

Ive stayed away from 9.0/9.3 for 2 years now but with this mk10 doesnt have to face the current 10.0s which will be 10.3 when this goes live.

That is true

No 23S8
No BMP-2M
No Turms
No 120S

Etc

This is sounding nice.

Just a shame the rest of the line-up is a bit… Meh

Cheiftain Mk10
Vickers Mk11 (need to research, but I’ve not really heard a good thing or a bad thing about it)
Striker (eh, can be okay)
Warrior (Really quite hate it at the moment to be honest)
Falcon/Marksman/Za-35 (all a bit meh, especially uptiered)

CBA to grind the SA line for the MTTD

Just not a lot there. CAS doesnt get any better. Hunter F1, Scimitar or Buc S1. Usable but not my favourite aircraft to use. Helis, Dont have it But Wessex i’ve heard is kinda bad.

On big maps BN is still competitive, due to the LWR excellent optics and APS giving a debuff to penetration on incoming projectiles.
And 2E is still good MBT for for dynamic fights

Perhaps, still wouldnt consider either an equal to the likes of the 2A7V. And the fact teh CR3TD is basically being deleted from the game at this point also sucks. Officially the worst top tier tank in game right now

Also… There are still big maps?

Yes, they are rare, but for more than 2000 fights on Black Night and watching server replays of APS work on kinetics, I can say that in long range any leo has no overwhelming advantage against her.
Its still very interesting to play on this MBT in situations where its technological advantages are maximized

And here I was thinking getting the Rooivalk for a 11.3 grb lineup :(

I’d get the G-Lynx and just play the 10.3 line-up at the moment. Rooivalk is okay, but i’ve never had much in the way of good matches with it

cause its not the real challanger 3 tech demo, or tank its just a fabricated mix n mash of the two, hence why its missing half the gizmos it had, yet has half the stuff from the 3

I am currently finishing my grind in that area of the British tree.

Vickers Mk11 is fun. It’s also dirty if you shrubbery the front because of how quiet it is, and then hide in ditch behind a small bush. Almost like you can with Chief, but it also has a scout and needs a little more stealth otherwise gets one shot. It is also a good support vehicle if you have tanks and other bait going for an objective. To the point of it is probably the best Command and Control vehicle for a voice chat group to have with so far in the brit tree. It doesn’t get the DM33 rounds that the VFM5 gets though.
Downside… No zoom.

Rooikats are oddly first round survivable which makes them fun to use in a group for pack tactics. However encounter a pack yourself and die.

Currently unlocking the Stormers. But since the VFM5 isn’t getting a boost in BR (and I get to crew it today). Looks like I will need to get the Mk 7. Then continue down the Challenger line.

I want the BK so badly (and the rest of the Challys they look good). It will help me unlock future UK Aussie ground vehicles.

They look good, but unfortunately they are entirely carried by aesthetics, Gaijin decided they cant be good if they look good

People hate it, But I rather enjoy the Stormer HVM. Rather fun tank to play.

(Also, anyone else think the Vickers Mk11 needs an Ultramarine 40k skin?)

Yes RR Power Systems (which is registered German but owned by RR Holdings which is British) owns MTU but unless the government are very scummy they wouldn’t just claim a German designed engine is British because its parent company is.

is rheinmetall part of the german army?

The ke2020neo was made and put into development to german standards and germsn request.

Britain “joined” the project last year without any prior experience in smoothbore ammunition.

For the sense and purpose the ke2020 neo was build/developed in direct cooperation with the german army. Just like the 2a7, 2a8s, MGCS etc

its built by a private company. now if its ordered by the german army specificaly like the uk did when they ordered the cr3 thats fine, but strict cooperation may only mean rheimetall hasked questions about some stuff and the gaerman army helped test it. but its still a private company.

so pls drop the fanboyism unless you want every trophy aps tank in the israely tech tree.

It is developed on german request and standards, that is how it is its not fanboyism.
Rheinmetall works closely with german military for those kind of stuff thats a fact

Did not deny that. But the KE 2020 Neo is first and foremost the german ammunition.

The hell u even talking about

im talking about this. its not german untill the german army is using it.

Dont forget the 30mm British APDS is getting a rework (Nerf)
