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

Sorry I’m not looking through the 10,000 posts and 100 bug reports

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 !!

Fun fact, thanks to @Flame2512 we go some docs from TNA, that if implemented, will cause Centurion Mk.10 to have a stronger mantlet than Cr2 and Cr3

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

The base mk5 didnt use darts the mk5/4 did

The base mk5 still is missing its lrf and l15a5 tungsten cored apds which would be more than sufficient.

Cant deny im laughing

Congrats man, your existence makes Gaijin seethe.

Yeah i dont blame you guys, especially with all those sources

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.

Whay happened to legwolf???

While a nice idea it wouldnt really help the tank much, compared to actually fixing a lot of the issues.

Though this idea would still be a nice addition n i wonder how it would.end up implemented.

at least like this, you can choose if you want to ditch the armour, also ditching the weight to make your chally 2 a little faster. so it could help in that sense. :) plus, dozer blade!

Dozer blade me want.

The armour isnt worth the weight so i just keep.it off sadly. Same for the 2f keep the base package over the upgrade.

I know it’s sacrilege, but I wish I could remove the tea tray from the roof of tes/oes.
The only purpose it serves in game is showing the enemy which hill I’m hiding behind.

Would the ecm effect micro drones irl? If so that could be an interesting buff to the challenger, when a drone flies within 50m it lawn darts the ground, finally an effective way to down them lmao
