Probably… or 5 second reloads. Buff those that dont need it and fail to buff those that needed it

Or fix the suspension so it works hpw it does irl.
While the challanger 2 is heavy, it still goes insanely fast for its size.off road.
Same as in trials off road the chieftain maintained a better speed than leopard 1s due to the suspension.
Id love to see the challangers at least work in one way theyre designed to.
Or get the l28a1 round at least, l27a1 is up there with one of the worst top tier rounds.
L28A1 is just an export variant of L27A1 that used Tungsten Alloy instead of Depleted uranium. In the Gaijin Calculator it “might” net better pen, but it also might not.
The better option would be to model ERA perforation for the L27A1 and up the ready rack from 4 rounds to 20+. Also maybe a 4-4.5 second reload time for a minor reload speed advantage again.
After that, just fix the armour

Ah my apologies i thought the l27a1 was the tungsten and l28 the Du, ah good points as well.
They need to model the stuff correctly , as it stands when u do pen if you arent an ammo shot the spalling is atrocious.
Gotta love one of the most well armoured mbts in the world for its time and still to this day regarded highly for said armour. In wt cant even stop 2a38 rounds.
Hell earlier today i took out a challanger 2 with a dm23 (120mm) in one tap frontally it really shouldn’t be able to be one tapped by a 10.7 leopard 2a4 frontally, or the massive breach shot

Apropos L27A1, has anything been said recently to make the pen be higher (not like irl 700mm or so) ? As I do know that the report for it was denied to to balance reasons, but Britain could need a upgraded CHARM 3

wasnt for balance reason, they just tested in a way that the results came as bigger then it is in reality
your only hope for penetration increase is the chally 3 completly working with full armor etc
and then maybe dm73 and dm83

This is the latest report:
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/bMbEJftRqiSp
But the biggest buff for firepower would be the ready rack (Report 1 and report 2 )
but the devs seem to be content to leave the Challenger 2 untouched after the dev post we had about a year ago. Its a shame they arent willing to address any other reports, including those challenging the changes made in that dev post

but its a rifled gun right? so the penetration isnt as good right? (also yes i know it was kinda a bad shot)

Gaijin and realistic penetrations have never gotten along well

Yeah 😭
The new sight ring is cool though :)
did they remove the wind sensor thing from the roof of all the challenger 2’s? i remember seeing it on one of them and not the others, and now none of them have it.
like, i remember seeing pictures of the standard challenger 2 in game having it, but now its just… gone. is this a Mandela effect or something? pretty sure its part of the FCS to help lead targets at range accurately, though i may be wrong. either way, odd its missing, or odd they removed it.
It was always folded. There is a report to make it unfolded tho.

on the models currently, its not even folded; its just straight up removed on all of them. just a hole where it should be.

I knew I saw it in game somewhere, so that must have been where I saw it. I haven’t played for a while, so it was bugging my head that it was missing.
it is there
that is the sensor
folded under a plate
