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

But it seems that the actual impact of all vehicle horsepower modifications is greater than the panel data, and the heavier the vehicle, the greater the difference between the two.

Because the mod panel work only on paper data, as if the tank was in the ideal state, it does not count terrain type, angles, crew skills etc

However, my test was carried out in the same location (route) and the same member group, except for the engine modification, other modifications remained the same, and only the engine modification was removed.

What can i tell you, im no gaijin employee nor i worked on the mod display.

Engine parts are more important on the Challenger 2 because, in fact, its a bus, of course not having those parts will benefit the Challenger 2 more than other tanks that weight less. A great example could be the T72B3, which turn into another tank once you get mobility mods and UBH kit.

You should try out the type 10, it is somehow slower than my challengers. Even when both are stock. My TES can probably beat it in a drag race if it’s spaded…. Makes me prefer just sticking with the type 90 as both have no armour and that thing is blindingly fast.

you want to test that

I would but I’m rather hungover rn.But honestly I would not be surprised, the type 10 without upgrades was one of the worst spading experience I’ve had in a while.

What 1100hp at 50+ tons versus 1500hp does.

fyi, challenger 3 pre production on trials rn

you can actually see how the turret is less boxy cuz they added the turret top composite back

Thats just a Prototype 1, 1 out of the 6 planned

Yeah duck martin posted it in the Cr3 tread already :)

less but still more boxy. you cant actually get what we have now in wt that you can pen the roof from the front

also, the commanders sight looks smaller. or does it get a cover on top of that?

It does get a cover on it, but they apperantly removed it

aye nice

hope they dont actually remove it in the production version, since its basically a main point of protection for it considering current warfare tactics happening in europe

i meant the scope. they cant remove that as it appears to be welded into the turret, its just covered
