@freedomforyou

will this be a good evidence？

Of what?

[Ogaly_Bogaly]

I believe he might be referring to the incorrect ammunition rack positions, which is already well documented.

Fixing Challenger 2 ammunition rack locations

Hey there folks, In game, all versions of Challenger 2 has pretty unusual ammunition placement - that unless Gaijin is operating under a source i’m unable to find publically, does not match reality and actually detriments the tanks ingame performance, even contradicting sources by their placement. I’m most specifically talking about the driver section as seen below. Right now, Challenger 2’s driver has 3 HESH shells always loaded, left of his feet, 3 HESH shells behind/inside his chair(???) a…

is there any reason why they wont model the lower plate spall liner?

[FlyingOstridge]

Because uh um um uh um uh.

[freedomforyou]

@zuadao

spall liner

toe and side spall liner

[zuadao]

do you have any images that show the side spall liner?

[FlyingOstridge]

Chally’s still… How do id say this? Ah. Incredibly fucking classified beyond belief.

[freedomforyou]

You can clearly see that the Spallliner even surrounded the ammunition
it is a challenger 1 I think, however the cr2 and cr1 has a similar hull

[EnglishTeaKett1e]

God I wish they add spall liner to the LFP, that would make it much more survivable.
Most of the time I die in Challengers is because of getting hit there.

[freedomforyou]

I don’t know if this is possible, the reason why gaijin refused to restore the CR2 mantlet is that the rotor amor will not appear in the game. But in fact, this armor belongs to the “60mm” armor rather than the frame itself

[Metaltank1990]

I can say with some level of certainty this is not a challenger 2, but likely an early 1. Those charge bins don’t line up with a 2.

Sorry to bother you yet again @Smin1080p_WT , but concerning these reports:

• Community Bug Reporting System
• Community Bug Reporting System

I think the developers will find the current ready rack for the Challenger 2s is quite accurate:

From the UK MoD. CP DS-T obviously just being training APFSDS:

And an additional source for fun. ‘Flèche’ meaning ‘arrow projectile’ or ‘APFSDS’:

[FlyingOstridge]

Hope you’re ready for some Leclerc Nerfs.

[zuadao]

ho so thats why it takes so long to fill that ready charge bin. the loader has to get out of the tank, run back to camp and bring 4 more charges.

yea it makes sense

[Metaltank1990]

That would account for the 26 seconds - it all makes sense now.

[zuadao]

also thank you for bringing that source up again, maybe you can also allert smin how good the armored charge bins are compared to what we have in game.

[花谱_kaf]

LOL, maybe you can look forward to getting more valuable information from another channel.

@Gunjob Challenger2 F/OES/TES wrong hull addition amour // Gaijin.net // Issues pls

[luque13]

Russia yet to capture an intact CR2 maybe that changes…

[warhead_beast]

I mean it could happen, but there are very few (14 were send initially) with claims of up to 4 being already destroyed so the probability is quite low
