Challenger 2 MBT - Technical data and Discussion (Part 1)

The difference is if you shoot any other tanks breach it will take out the breach at most. You shoot ours and your killing a few crew members minimum.

Leopards currently do everything the challenger 2s can do but much better aside from a slightly slower reload than the challenger 2 for the first 4 shots and then it’s actually faster than it after that.

@Gunjob remember whe i pinged you with 2 bug reports?
Now ive made that into 4 ;)

i believe most of those crew members kills are due to the holes in the turret cheeks next to the mantlet. you can test it in armour inspector. ive been saying this for years now, most times the gunner and commander get killed in one shot its on the hole in the turret cheek.

Thanks as always @Gunjob

@Gunjob we love your dedication

This would make a huge difference!

Turret sides: 200 → 250
UFP: 510 > 610

This would make the Challenger tanks significantly more competitive.

The issue about that report is that it doesn’t specifically explain the issue ingame, which is the missing 50mm RHA plate behind the composite and which we could witness thanks to CR3’s turret floor srmor big xD

No worries, and its spelt “armour”. We’re not yanks, we speak the Kings English.

Honestly they’d just reduce the composite KE effectiveness when/if they fix it

Ok, i will correct myself nest time ;)
