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

it was simulated RHA, not full on RHA i forgot the name i would need some help finding the doc but ik it was an external test

Its “close” to M829A1 not A2 or A3 according to british tests at very high angles. But that same source then says the turret is 500mm KE / 800mm CE.

RHAE

This is a sentence

that

no mention of CE

Well i have a different doc i guess

Only has KE with the turret being 500mm with a stretch to 600mm

i wanted to post one but im scared of ending up in the news

Sauce for that doc?

if it is national archives it should be fine

It was what was used for the original Charm 3 has 700mm pen report no? I got it originally from here so

maybe not

It says the SR(L) 4026 requirement is for 500/800. As has been discussed to death already SR(L) 4026 =/= Challenger 2.

The base CR2 is 11.7, and the 2F and TES are just off meta. Also apparently underperforming in terms of armor performance though I haven’t personally looked into it.

I agree about the BN being the worst 12.0, though.

For the record: ZTZ99A, T-90M, VT-4, Abrams, and possibly the Ariete AMV (I don’t have it yet) are all inferior to the Challenger 2E in my opinion.

It used to before the CR rework; but now they all got their hull armor fixed to a consistent value.
