Ok, now provide source to prove that. Yep, that is the point we are in

Well, the Tankograd source claims it’s solid steel, so i’ve used that source and photograhs to evidence that it’s indeed a physical object bound by our known material laws lol

Strong, Comrad
Just found this: it ASPRO-HMT on Warrior, you not only see the backing plate but also the line where aspro active and passive come together
And thats how it looks on a Challenger armoured repair and recovery vehicle
Aka Battlestar

Very nice! Could come in as a good source down the line, but given the warrior’s ASPRO-HMT is likely different dimensions than the TES’/OES’, it may not help us here much. The backing plate especially might not tell us much beyond "Yes indeed, it’s a solid object, flush with the plate and ASPRO lol
Good stuff though
Only toady:
BREAKING NEWS
NATO steel is a solid, physical object, bound to known laws of physics.

The blog included links to the most recent reports on each issue. But they were not the only reports involved. There were numerous previous reports by other users that cited Armor Shield R. That matter and the discrepancies between the reports is already under investigation.
Aye but it still claims to be a report from me, citing facts about Armor Shield R and STANAG protection in the penetration analysis tool

The entire segment regarding my report, is based on misguided information but signs my name on it. Happy to discuss this in DMs
The report is, the paragraph below is talking about all of the developer conclusions from all of the investigations. Not that you specifically claimed Armor Shield R.
You will note on your report, Gunjob mentioned there was already an ongoing internal report which included previous reports too:
Your report was simply the most recent public report to mention for the general subject.
So smin will anything be done about the lackluster performance of the mantlet or nah?
If nothing else, it reads very poorly…
“Next up, let’s take a look at this report created by Legwolf regarding the protection values of the Challenger 2’s ERA. We’ve seen that Armor Shield R is noted to be equipped on the Challenger 2 TES and Challenger 2 OES and is protected according to STANAG 4569 level 5.”
That reads exactly like my report has stated it’s using Armor Shield R.

Please check out the blog, it offers full details on the current plan. Until that modelling work takes place, I do not have any further details that I can add to whats been said today at this time.
I am curious why it took this long to correct the issue prevalent on the challengers
A couple of factors there. This report with the most useable information was only made 8 months ago. Previous investigations on other reports did not yield any meaningful results. Along with this, we also undertake our own further investigations into matters, to try and find more detail and information on a given topic. This all naturally takes time, coupled with all the standard works that are going on in the meantime.
