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

Someone mentioned it in another thread so I popped it on there to check it. Better confirm its right than to miss it.

Again, someone mentioned that it should have more like 650mm at 1km, not 560. No evidence provided yet, but again, lets confirm its right and if it is, i’ll cross it off.

That comes from this bug report Community Bug Reporting System

So we’ll see

I actually have a book on order for the Chally 2 from Bovington, not sure what in it, but might contain some useful info, maybe exactly what we need to cross some items off the list

Well at 1km 60 degrees it’s 636mm currently. 318x2, or 318/cosin60.
So if they were looking at 60 degree NATO plate data, then it’s pretty accurate.

might just need a stat card re-write or something then, but we’ll see. This list isnt fact, its just a list of things to check and confirm

I don’t know if it’s reliable, but it’s worth looking into

Whats changed?

modelled the new engine rear.

Ah, thank you

aps not working is a devserver thing or it is like this on live server too?

Also this new smoke thing is so annoying god dammit

I got a book on the chally 2. Might have some info of use

These bits are quite interesting. Not enough for a full bug report, but definetly something to look into. Might help prevent one shots

Well, it is getting fixed at least. I dont know about the exhaust beeing on both side, as left one is a small, chally sized exhaust, and the right one is giant one, with ventilation cage over it.

So this is my book collection I have on challenger 2. I also have a book collection on challenger 1 along with a few unclassified documents from the national archives on challenger 1 !!

I am sorry for such a late reply but I just found this huge thread and I cannot say enough how much I admire the effort everyone here has put in however I wish to say that the gun rotation is closer to 11 not 12 as shown here

On top of this I think we should ask gaijin for the full rotation speed before ace crew as from what I understand we do not get full rotation speed until you have expert or ace crew. That being said I can remember multiple occasions in which I have lost a firefight in my TES simply due to rotation speed

However I would love to see the 40mm on the Leonardo Enforcer for the TES to give it just an extra bit of kick

Image of the recently destroyed CR2. Maybe we will get a close up of this in the future.

You guys might be happy to know that they simply use copy paste data from the Leopard 2A5 for the Challenger 2:
