Thanks)

it’s a plug, it goes all the way through the tank, might be for cables when needed.

he also says the top speed is roughly 80kph in actuality but I imagine I’d need to find several other sources that agree with that too

Challenger 2E can reach 80 kph in emergency mode.

New short video on the Challenger 3 posted by Grant Shapps a few minutes ago

Official hand over of Challenger 2 Tank to the British Army in 1994

Cool video about the Challenger 2 from Vickers. They show some footage inside the factory and share some parts of the development.

New Cr2 suggestion just went up

Challenger 2 Camouflage nets should be removable

poll Currently, in game the Challenger’s 2F and TES both have camouflage nets that are found on many Cr2’s fitted with the various armour upgrade packages. However these nets are currently not removable in game in the case of the TES or are linked with the armour package on the 2F, yet in real life these tanks can be seen without the camouflage nets. So I suggest that a new modification be added to these two challengers, that allows the nets to be removed, like on vehicles such as the M1128 Wol…

I would like to have seen a suggestion for barracuda to function properly giving the brits a flavor at top tier ground but still plus 1

[John_Sneeeeeeeew]

Is there not already a barracuda suggestion?

Look at this BS

It’s an xbox link btw

this happens all the time, so much i have been trying to change my muscle memory to shoot between the turret and the era when shooting at a russian tank

[FlyingOstridge]

Skill issue. Just don’t play Britain.

[Rileyy3437]

It happened to me yesterday in my 2A6 too. Very annoying.

[Freddie2706]

I heard somewhere that it’s because gaijin (weather on perpouse or by accident, I think we all know which is more likely) took 200ke protection of relict and kontact as flat pen not effective protection at 60deg. There had to have been some raised eyebrows surely. Or they are just a bit thick over there.

[Guardians6521]

No this isnt true. Their flat pen protections for kontakt and relkit are actually quite accurate (and subsequently their LOS protection). (I could break this down and prove thts)

Its T series 72bs, 80us, and t-90s ufps historical LOSe values that were taken and applied as flat pen equivalents leading to an overperformance of 100mm LOS or 90mm flat pen.

I can also prove the overperformance of the ufps aswell.

[Freddie2706]

Vaild point, but to be honest I wouldn’t mind the russians getting special treatment if all the other nations had accurate tanks

[VatnikWrangler22]

Just did a report for the Challenger 2E’s maximum speed

I couldn’t find an existing report, hopefully they accept it

I’ve given up on this thing, new battle tactic…

[SPANISH_AVENGER]

Since the UFP is barely 550mm KE, it may as well be highlighted in red too lmao
