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

Tbh it seems gaijin want to fix the bare minimum enough to say they “fixed” the challengers bit not enough to where they directly changed the armour sadly…

they have done this before…


So 1 leopard game and ive not been killed, only dying by a J out so i can nuke… germany suffers more than GBR
(i had to crash into the bomb so it detonated before the game ended lol)

i think those values were added by FEARNOUGHT in the original leak and are not in the manual, just the shematic

WELL, lets just skip that topic for now

I wonder why the L23A1 is still used instead of making the L26 armor-piercing round the default for CR2 tanks

That’s not too much to ask from a game balance standpoint
The CR2 does not have the armor protection of the 122/L2A7, nor the high mobility of the 99A/80BVM/Type10, and the proud 5-second loading is broken by Abrams, so it is not too much to ask that the default steel pin be changed

The Cr2 is all the time around 50% wr so there is no need for changes… Due to players skill but hey, it is what it is.

oh, I forgot Gaijin only looks at the big data and doesn’t look at the vehicle performance balance

Anyone else just get that intense pang of dread and defeat in their stomach reading this, knowing they’ll make absolutely insane claims ans ignore any good will from the players?

Personally I’d like to see L26 become the stock round for the rank 8 Challies, but at rank 7 having a dart is an advantage so I don’t mind the stock round being L23A1 to offset that (plus it’s used by Oman so it’s not like the L30 gun never fires it)
