Looking positively, its taking a while because they will talk about a lot of the bugs and how they will be fixed
Looking realistically, its taking a while because they will talk about a lot of the bugs and how they will be semi fixed
Looking also realistically, its because they are on holiday

I hope we get this challenger as an event vehicle or a premium at some.
It was on the old forum but I dont know about here

Looks like an XM1
The hull on it was a test of welding steel to aluminium to make a lighter tank by having the front section be well armoured and the rear section less armoured wuth aluminium.
You can see the different sections on this picture

Yeah I know there was up to 10 M.C bombs from 6 in the bomb bay and another 4 on the wing stations. And it seems also some AShM’s. Nice.

Tell me about the CR1 Mk1 here.
Playing the OES.
Shoot a Leclerc 3 times in the mantlet, does absolutely sweet FA.
He finishes engaging my other teammates, i pop back up for a 4th shot, his first hit on my mantlet takes out my;
Breech
Turret Drive

I notice playing any challenger that you get hit, lose 2 crew and are forced into a 30 second repair, then when you are 2 seconds from finishing the repair you die.

I shouldnt be surpirised by this, but it still angers me every time.
CR2 pain, doubled with playing at particular times is double the fun.

no you shouldnt be surprised
I still havent got over the fact that apparently L23A1 can explode with no explosive content/filler in it
Gaijin must just know something I don’t shrug

Is that with no smoke or HESH rounds carried? Still ridiculous they don’t have a workaround.
I have yet to experience it, it failed to explode to me all the time i tried
yep the tank in question was all Sabot.

clip attached.
frags only hit the rear rack, which iirc is rounds, not charge stowage

Incredible, that was just shrapnel hitting projectiles. It should have breeched you (and destroyed ammunition but that’s not modelled) and nothing else, not even crew damage.

How, during tests i was able to remove racks whole and no explosion
don’t ask me. I haven’t had it happen recently, then again i haven’t really touched 10.3 too much
I’d be up to test it again, you’re both welcome to have a go @l2ulan
yeah, i was having a really bad run when i clipped that
but i must admit that’s why i’ve been reluctant to play any top tier. i’d like to replicate that and see if i can get it to repeat, so i can bash a bug report in and call it incorrect behaviour
cuz this issue, I dont use chally mk3 in 10.3 lineup.
funny thing is, this is the DS. It is effectively a Mark 3 without L26/Jericho… which all British Challengers were issued 12 of during Op Desert Storm if memory serves.
Regardless of sabot type however, Sabots shouldn’t be detonating, as they are, without the propellant, inert.
If you want, i can help testing it out
