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

It seems like it’s just too much effort to fix cr2 at this point, there are so many minor discrepancies between all the challenger 2 versions in game. You’d need to bug report each individually. The 2F and TES both have bigger roadwheels than the rest for example which is funny, don’t know which size is more accurate as the large ones look right but there doesn’t seem to be enough space between them to function.

I know the camouflage netting is being updated but can we just appreciate how cursed it currently looks, this is max graphics lmao.

Compare this to the level of care that was put into making sure T72B3 had small details captured, like putting red paint around the barrel tip, or making sure the T90 came fully modelled with its shtora system perfectly modelled. It is obvious where the priorities lie. I’m hoping we can get more fixes and turn it around but I don’t see the incentive for them at this point.

I doubt the challenger will get any actual improvements going forward.
But little things like the gun mantlet being too high and forward since the rework and the fabric above it floating in mid air. How was that never fixed at the time? Or since?
It’s as though each vehicle has a certain amount of bug fixing time allotted and the rework took this years up so that’s it, better luck next year!

they wont fix it, ever
they managed to turn some of the best MBTs of their time into an absolute joke.
Leclerc, abysmal and missing half its kit in game.
Chally 2, absolutely useless in game half its armour is wrong.
arietes while not great IRL arent as paper as they are in WT
etc etc n we cant even get a model done right

can anyone explain to me why the M1A2 didnt go to 12.0 ? when literally every other 11.7 bar the chally 3TD cause its garbage went to 12.0? xD

cant help but notice that, in the new update they improved the camo nets on all the challenger 2’s, but completely missed the fact that the breach dust cover is still floating on all but the standard chally 2. so all the vehicles they did nets on, still have that bug and have had it for well over a year now, Including the OES.

2f has an updated camo net. but ALL of the challenger 2’s still have a floating breach dust cover. ((except standard chally 2))

Yeah I bug reported that recently, it’s already bug reported for 3 months though by others lol.

yeah, I would have thought that if they were completely redoing the camo nets, then its something they would have noticed, but apparently not, or they did but cant be arsed to fix it. just seems hard to miss considering that all the vehicles that they worked on have the exact same issue.

It all just needs dragging down the Z axis slightly, it would only take 5 seconds to do considering they went to the effort of fixing the camo net.

In fairness a lot the Haynes manuals on tank / aircraft / etc. Are very well written and researched.

Only as a secondary source sadly, not a primary

Really?

yes, made the report myself
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/scFlBnUnYw7i
I had 3 books, the numbers i had was 10-25mm armour thickness for the bins… well gajin took the 10mm and ran with it but its still better than nothing

Genuinely surprised it isnt a primary source.

Thank you for amount of effort man, the old cold wat brit tanks and challanger 1s are some of my fav and glad they got a fix.

anyone considered putting a report in for the incorrect size of the CR2 reticle in-game?
