Challenger 2 Medusa - Black Night’s Little Brother

black night is the only viable CR2 so another APS chally is very nice

I think you missed the one that was the 2E but for domestic use. Lazerpig mentioned it in his Challenger 2 video though he might have just forgotten or got confused with the LEP and HAAIP but at least it sounds like it would have been a CR2 with a 1500hp or 2000hp engine but it was too powerful for the track system and ended up constantly damaging the whole thing from its power but that might be from a shitty transmission design, I might have also miss heard but I think it would have also gotten the Rh 120 L/55 (not 55A) but that could just have been me

i feel like we are lacking vehicles with LWS in the brit tree so i think this could be a nice addition

+1 for all the challys.

I WANT IT SO MUCH.
TANK #1 THAT I WANT

Really? The Rheinmetall Defence 130mm Gun Testbed Challenger 2 probs what I want the most with Challenger 2 Streetfighter II - Because a big cannon wasn’t enough

Yeah, but Medusa just looks scientifically. 😅

For gameplay of course chally 130mm

But for ❤️ i’d prefer Medusa.

irl it would act as a MAW and release smoke grenades in the direction of the incoming missile…
considering that in aircraft we have CM slaving to MAW, i see absolutely no reason why gaijin cannot implement the same onto the MUSS.
and im pretty sure tank crews would have backup smoke grenades in storage on board as well in case anyone wants to make the argument about grenades running out.

It would cause more harm than good.
The systems in game work on very short notices, like 3s before impact. At this time in game smoke will not deploy yet, and if it does the tank movement will be severely limited, meaning that the missile will hit, and then if you survive, the sight to the enemy is blocked, while you are most likely stuck in place. It also deploys much closer compared to IRL, obstructing your view.
Dont forget that MUSS should also deploy on laser, so teammate lases you on spawn, poof.

the premium merkava wouldve had this but they just gave it lws and called it a day probably because its extra work for something that will hinder the user 9/10 times

obv the smoke grenades are fast action being MUSS special grenades. shouldnt take longer than 0.5 seconds from launch to explosion. MUSS reacts a lot faster too irl and from aorund 3km rather than the measely 30m in game rn.

can also be modelled specifically
no harm in having a toggleable feature

LRF from allies doesnt trigger LWS so there would be some soft IFF

Sure does. Do you have any idea how many times my friends scare me with a random LWS when I’m sneaking around?

Huh… my puma doesnt do that iirc

For me it is, be it a Boxer or Type 90, Black Night or the Cv90.
Image of me lasing a friend in Merkava during the testing, as you can see we are teammates

there should be some sort of IFF system for LRF as well imo

Well, there is no such thing Irl, so there won’t be, most likely.

But we need it for all game modes except Sim. People troll me and annoy the fuck out of my by lasing me constantly, when my friends do it, it’s funny but when trolls do it in-game then I wish I could easily teamkill

uhh… there is…
