Like the Spanish_Avenger i have been trying for years at this point to get challenger 1 and 2 fixed but gaijin just refuses to accept all of are reports. Like they nerf challenger 2 add-on armour even tho we have shown multiple pictures documents, measurements e.g and explained it as simply as we can for them to understand what we are talking about and they still nerf the add on armour kit.
Like what is honestly hard changing the aluminium armour to RHA and increasing its thickness to 40mm and 80mm respectfully and then adding 200mm thick VAMAR armour blocks with ASPRO-HMT ERA/ NERA on the side off the hull.
I could do i hole power point on its add-on armour pointing out all the different layers what there made up off there effective protection levels at 0° e.g but gaijin would still refuse to fix it. I have honestly given up on it all !! :(
Now you see why i cant just magically share and upload everything. Anyone who has been here since day one knows what i have done especially around challenger 1 and the pictures and documents i have uploaded over the years on both challenger 1 and 2.
Like i have spends hundreds of pounds getting documents from the national archives on challenger 1. I have bought evey single book out there on challenger 1 and 2 !!
Yet with all the info in them plus with all the other pictures and sources we have gotten over the years now gaijin will never fix chally to make it anywhere near its IRL self !!
I love how geeky we are for this tank. That collection of books is epic.
As British fans we’ve endured much hardship, be it from the nerf of HESH, the Chieftain mk5 lacking APFSDS, the introduction of Challenger 1s Chobham armour, and even now with the Challenger 2s pervasive mismodelling in all aspects, we’ve had to fight tooth and nail for any minor change. In the face of adversity from both dumb YouTube personalities to the developers and moderators themselves, who cried lanz odermatt and LOS thickness or whatever else garbage argument you have persisted in your battle for justice. Even when bravely yet foolishly presenting documents that really shouldn’t have been and making the news (LOL) people refuse the truth, that the tank is in fact pretty good.
The only solution guys is we have to make our own tank game. Maybe advancements in AI will make the development side easier. It will feature regenerative steering, blackjack, hookers. Imagine the possibilities. Maybe we call it Iraq war 2, Revenge of Sadam, it could have a plot and everything. Challenger 2 role playing game I dunno.
Anyway I just wanted to say your dedication should be commended even though officially it goes unappreciated it would seem. I would think it pointless trying to change this game as the devs by and large tend to do what they want anyway.
They cant make it anywhere near its IRL self due to the absolute womat who shared its armour layout/values. Evem tho it wasn’t related to the overall armour
I used challenger 2 as an example in this, but it might be something people here are interested in! It could potentially help challenger 2 a little bit by allowing players to add/remove their ERA packages or 2f composite in favour of the basic side skirts, or hey! KFOR armour package.
