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

Went with BR decompression, Challenger 2 complete rework, higher focus on bridging the capability gap between minor nations and major nations, and higher rewards in ground battles inline with Air

Well, you all take one very lightly

If they had all the other CR2 gear ratios wrong, I would be amazed if the 2E was correct.

I mean they had the correct gear ratios before but threw in some intermediate ones cause it didn’t work properly in-game

Well, 2E should be different. Nealy C&P from Leo 2. Ok, i unrestimated them, it might have been wrong. Does anyone have Cr2E gear ratios?

I’ll check when I get home, if no one else has them before then

I have seen some on the old forum or reddit, im diving there

I don’t suppose we could suggest that our favourite ‘not a bug’ tech mod is forced to grind out every Challenger 2 from stock - once every week his progress to be reset so he has to work back through them all again - until he recants of his sins and fervently pushes his employers to get the Challenger 2 fixed?

Joking aside - I’ve stuck my survey in. Fixing the Challenger 2 is pretty much the one thing I’ve put down.

Ok i got it and

It seems like we are missing some reverse gears
And here is a contradicting source

Love it
That leaves me with a problem.

Chally 2E flies
first game there seems to be some type of damage modelled in the lower hull? Only saw it on the thing in the bottom right corner, but that’s worth noting. Not sure what it does but:

Its the spall liner

CR2 feels no better or slower tbh, and they still havent fixed the shift down issue…

hard disagree, I feel the speed benefits on the 2E, the default chally 2, and the 2F, and it’s reasonably noticable on those 3.
The 2F probably because I don’t use the useless and ugly armor package because it ruins the Devilish skin
but it’s a few kph of difference on the BN as well.

That’s not to say the thing is fixed, but it is noticable.

That plate dividing the sections in the UFP was always there. As to why the shoulder armor is better, its becuse the shoulder part covering the fuel tanks dont have that thin rha plate taking up the composite which is volumetric, the composite there is thicker. Spanish avenger is wrong in that its the same effectiveness but the fuel tank makes it stronger. (it does but not the composite itself)

This green rha plate visible in the xray is very thin for the amount of volume it takes up. The shoulder armor doesnt have this

You can see how the composite is thinner on the section covering crew

Shoulder section is around ~20mm more effective, 3BM46 at 500m

I will do human sacrifices if it would lead to the mid section of the hull being as strong as the sides.

Did I go a tad too far with the suggestion box then? I kinda just did a full write up if everything that needed changing without reading what I needed to put in the box lol. Guess they’ll just chuck mine in the scrap instead of reading it.
