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

Have fun, and remember. The list just keeps getting longer.

Of course. Until either US or USSR gets the CR2, they won’t fix any of the bug reports. But it’s always good to prove people wrong about the Challenger being a bad tank irl and therefore that is why it’s bad in game

Guys, In this book: Challenger Main Battle Tank 1982–97 (New Vanguard): Dunstan, Simon, Sarson, Peter: 9781855324855: Amazon.com: Books
I found interesting information about armor values of challenger 1 and M1A1 Abrams and can this information be considered as a valid source for Gaijin? Also, here author also mentions his “sources” so maybe those sources might be trackable as well.

Sorry for redirecting you, again

I don’t think that info regarding the challenger 1 isn’t at least indirectly connected to the challenger 2 :D. at least later tanks must be better than previous. Also, challenger 1 discussion is dead as I can see

Well yea, but… Well do whatever you want… Im tired

Hopefully that image loads. Sent through this comment under a moderator’s one and of course the comment was not approved. I was really hoping that Gaijin would use their heads and add more breach armour with the addition of CR3 but they obviously haven’t. Would be nice if they actually acknowledged this issue publicly.

They demand only exact values and just the general words like “enhanced” and “improved” aren’t enough

Yea, usual thing. Nothing to blame Smin tbh. He is chill but he have to deal with being a extend of gaijin

we should be lucky we’re even getting this vehicle with chally 2 armour tbh, no epsom and farnham wont feature on this, we know that since the armour itself hadnt even finished trials.

If all cr2’s and derivatives get spall lining, fixed side armour that would be a great addition, and a mantlet fix for all would also be appreciated.

Yea, but try to convince someone that the mantlet holds itself on the half of the caugh caugh non existent caugh pins

try to convince someone that the 200mm mantlet plate holds the end of the L94 up on standard chally xD
oh wait it does because they moved the L94 forwards so it doesnt look odd xD

CR3 is a joke lmao

But normal 2 still holds on the half

Just sent in a report for a slight buff to turret side armour: Community Bug Reporting System

hopefully not the only side armour buff we can get, 60mm KE on the hull side with the dust covers.

Soooo, is the plate on the side 40, 60 or 100/110? Im honestly lost what is going on with it. We had 110 for a long time and it seemed fine. Then they came with the 40 one, that are from 2G and now there are some dust covers. Im lost.

this is in reference to the bare hull sides of challenger 1 and 2
