Challenger 2 Medusa - Black Night’s Little Brother

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

(text)

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…

Pakistani Al Khalid has these red ‘reflectors’ at the top of the turret (here partially covered by tarp on the top right)(closed with its lid on top left as well), which, upon being hit with a LRF, return a specific frequency of laser back which tells the vehicle that is lasing the tank that it is friendly. A rudimentary form of IFF

But there is also the missile jamming no? Can’t remember the precise name and details as I suggested this months ago but I believe it’s similar to the T-90 where if u fire a missile at it, the missile or guidance system is jammed and makes the missile goes anywhere but the tank. I can’t remember what it’s called but I remember see it while researching it.

Its an aps system , part of the MUSS. With passive interference.
That being said only works against certain missle types that arent resistant against it.

Supposedly the new Muss 2.0 is supposed to work against modern nissle system as well and got officialy contracted for the Leo 2aX project.
But few is known about it yet. But it will work 360° all the time and doesnt need to spin to the target

I know it might be a weird request, but can you send me a picture of that light on ztz99 II?
