Also Chobham and Dorchester are used however they please, so it is hard to tell what is what
Even Royal hussars mistake it
Ignoring the fact that internal armour is called DL1 and external DL2, but they also ignore that.
SPEAK ONE WAY ffs
Why would they put first gen in it though? it offers less protection and they probably stopped making it after the challenger 1 because it logistically makes no sense to be making an inferior product right?
btw I noticed Gaijin modeled the turret cheeks of the challenger 2 to have quite large gaps without NERA, is that just some Gaijin shenanigans or is that really how it is?
Personally I think they stripped some composite inserts out of a bunch of CR1 in storage. I saw a MoD scrap list the other day, if you can find 2007/2008 and see them scrap a bunch of CR1 turrets then you might be able to draw some conclusions…
also the drivers hatch area is a HUGE weak spot even though it seems like it shouldn’t be, it’s about 60mm(55 because it’s cast) and sloped at around the same angle that the UPF of the Abrams is, yet it’s less effective instead of more?
