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

No buddy, KNDS germany is. Officialy partitioned and contracted by the german govermant. Its supposed to get MUSS 2.0 as well.
Its not a standalone rheinmetall project

MGCS is far in the future and this will replace 2a8s until then.

Playing the CR2 again and have to say L27A1 feels awful. Like barely deals with the spam of T-80UEs

Just a pretty miserable time right now

Really? Is it a nerf or something? I’m not sure as the last I play with a CR2 was 2.5 months ago and the last I played WT was almost 2 months ago, so I’m not sure if there have been changes

Just feels really bad. It likely hasn’t changed,
bouncing when it shouldn’t not spalling as much, yellowed a T-80s track with a direct hit.
Not going through and killing T series tank with the driver hatch shot…

Just a rough time right now :(

looks likes a leopard with T-90M shape hull

I’m hoping after the next BR change that 11.7 will be a consistent downtier with anyone playing 12.0 also running CAS above 12.0 (especially 13.0 CAS) and so will be mostly dragged up.

That should leave things like the 2F, TES/OES and 3TD getting 10.7 matches quite often. Meaning none of the tanks the L27A1 seems to struggle to deal with and also no Pantsir to worry about it the Tonka Gr1.

Now that you’ve said it, the CR2s are going to 12.3

That’s an issue between the chair and the keyboard unfortunately buddy.

The issue for the cr2s is not russian tanks it is the leopard 2a7s and the strv122s cruising around.

And yhen theyll go up in br for having a better score 😭

Ngl i want that olifant

There is an element of that.

Yes Leopards and Strv 122 are a real pain…
Takes so many shots to kill one

That’s why I suffer at 8.7… mostly

Why you suffer at 8.7? what tree? :D

When it comes to the T80U, or the T90M, or any of these russian tanks with the better ERAs, shoot under it or behind it. If you are struggling to one tap them, then take out the breach first and then roll over them.

The STRV’s and Leopard’s, are a bit of a headache cause the spall liner + better armour.
The 122 is more of a problem armour wise than the 2A7, both will likely one tap you

Britain but I haven’t got the ZA 35 yet, can’t afford to even buy the Marksman and have only researched the South African line and the AA line

It’s the multiple shots that kill me ha ha
Lower glacis shots are great

If you can get them

Time to kill for L27 is its main issue :(

and with it more often than not needing a follow up shot, the lack of decent sustained fire rate is really felt.

It also becomes psychological you cant trust the round and your ready rack is so small.
You dont take shots you would in another tank.
You take more time to make sure you hit a spot that will do damage

Or at least I do

Yeah, im a bad shot and lack any experience with shot placement. But yeah, I never trust in a first shot kill and am pleasantly surprised when the target blows up

You need them chieftains mate definitely some of the more fun 8.7s regardless of what naysayers say

lowe glacis on what? the T80s? can pen their turret face with L27 near enough.

Thats the issue with the CR2 but, thats genuienly waht Fks it over

Yeah, fix the first stage ammo (either by giving it its IRL size or at least a sane replenishment time). Give some of them a dozer blade and patch up some of the holes in the armour and it would actually be a half decent tank until it can get a full remodel
