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

we don’t know context, so as far as we are aware it isn’t.

Any new news on armour vs weight on the vehicle? Because i still cant wrap my head around how its heavier, with less armour. don’t want to have to weigh each individual component to try and add it all up…

Would you be so kind as to explain what you mean?

What you rat someone out like some KGB biatch? Peak WT player.

i did read trough forum suggestion rule section

He’s just vagueposting and trying to get a rise out of people.

Chances are he has nothing and is just trolling.

following gajins own rules the challenger 130, should be removed from the UK site because it breaks suggestion rules.

So either it propably is getting removed or gajin will give UK preferential treatment, which i will take as well since i can just tel luque to be quiet then as well because UK is getting preferential treatment here

those 2 ZZs sure came asap to try and save the situation. its amazing ppl think theres no bias in this game…

This entirely relies on your interpretation of Gaijin’s rules, which isn’t gospel.

By the manner in which you opened this conversation, you appear to primarily be here for attention. Your personal drama with another user isn’t relevant to this thread unless your supposed report is actually deemed by Gaijin to hold any water.

nah pretty clear on the subject, last sentence pretty much. think what you want
I honeslty just wanted to apologise ahead of the time because i am normaly a pretty chill guy and on of the more reasonable german dudes

So you try to bring a personal vendetta against another user then you bring up whether or not a country should receive a vehicle or not which has been argued in about 4 other threads on it?

reasonable

uh huh.

Problem with 130 is, that no one tested it.

yes, as the graph shows, it goes to national section for the nation that houses the company that made it
The challenger 130 was a completly german rheinmetall project, build and tested in germany unterlüß

Just to calify this, test refers to evaluation by the officials, not a private company.

Yes, but here in action comes that one moment where UK officials were considering it for unspecified amount of time, but decided to go with 120 to be compatible with the most common type of ammunition around.

That is why both get it.
And probably some Cr2 LEP bullshit, but i talked about that so many times idc anymore.

And im also not sure if it falls under this

As it was not a vehicle made, but a gun slapped onto one, for the sake of simplicity.

yes exactly, i just wanted to point out with this that no step was done in uk
the tests were only done by rheinmetall itself

sadly the official interview with the rheinmetall ceo states different things. while UK might have considered it at one point the challenger 130 had nothing to do with it

It even was specialy mentioned it was done for the competition against nexters 140mm as advertisement to germany

here the corresponding sources i added

its still a new vehicle variant isnt it, it got a new turret armor slapped on top as a result as well
if you dont take gun changes as a new vehicle you could/would remove a lot of vehicles in the game

and about the clearance from the Uk customer part, thats just permission to go trough with the tests, they had nothing to do with the tests themself

AFAIK, they were just empty shells, while it is not official, i suspect it had to do something with hiding the turret shape.

I know that, i have been on the talks.
