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

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

Looks sooo much better.

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.

Yeah they never had them. Only the CR3 demonstrator was modelled with it

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

ahh! understood. yeah it should be “deployed” then, when in battle. looks like gaijin have acknowledged it over a year ago with no change.

edit: the “Crusader” skin for the regular challenger 2 is now broken as well, as you cant rotate it to get the decals on the composite skirts anymore, making them just black panels. I made a bug report here;

Is there any news if they will increase the ready rack count?

None yet.

But a thread like this will appear every dev thread until it does
