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

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.

my point exactly.

Are they now accepting haynes manuals

Look at the one about the cr1 ammo bins

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

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?

I just read this is there any truths in it ??

Who knows

I mean if its the tank crews themselves saying it must be some merit to it.

The way I look at it. It kinda makes sense. UK only has 150 or so CR2s, would make sense to make them as good as they could possibly be and we know that it has an exceptionally good FCS and often wins NATO gunnery competitions.

The US on the other hand has 1000+? It’s probably better to make them very good, but not absolutely maxed out performance as a cost efficiency thing

Not really, CR2 has been found to be heavy and its inability to lob an HE shell at a trench line is a massive draw back. This will be the first positive article I have seen on the CR2 and it’s likely excelling more in an offensive role

It is more reliable though not requiring the massive amount of maintenance that the M1s require.
The M1 is designed to operate with the whole strength of the US logistics chain with supply and service areas.

In Ukraine these necessary service windows are not being met. The vehicle then breaks down and the crews call them unreliable.

You crew that M1 with a US tanker and the performance metrics would be similar.

Somewhat, one thing to realise is they’re pretty extensively used as indirect fire pieces supporting infantry etc, so haven’t seen that much tank on tank action. And therefore have had complaints about the HESH not being a great frag round.
The maintenance cycles have been appreciated, although I’ve heard complaints about the HP being not great.
Overall it’s inline with previous interviews :shrug:

It’s an interview from an active tank crew…

There are more than enough trusty sources talking about this. I already know. Eurasian should always be taken with a grain of salt at bare minimum.
