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.
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:
