Challenger 2 needs to be brought to developers attention

only on cr3 p and cr3, the TD does NOT have it sadly

What is this?

Would love to have this in the regular tech tree or premium, anything except an event vehicle

I’ll need to try and verify it but I’ve just come across (apparent) vickers mk7 charge bins

Ok, where th did you stepped to find it? I was looking for Vic 7 inside for weeks.

The link will take you to a forum where someone posted it, the picture have the Bovington tank museum logo in the corner, I’m doing more digging to basically confirm the layout.

Well, if that is confirmed, it will be huge

Could potentially give it a 6 round first stage. I might contact the tank museum.


Would it be fair to say that’s a spall liner in the mk7?

Probably? But they might go sound damper way

Do so, that is the best way to know if the pictures are from them, and if they are, what is on them

Need documents to side with it

Sadly, yes. Well, if you get the tank museum to sayif i it is a spall liner or no that might do the trick

Question!

I just realised the 2F modification for Challenger 2 (2F) adds 5,000 kg, even though the only difference is the change from ERA to composite in the LFP!

Am I missing something, or is the composite module really 5,000 kg? In that case, is it not a bit absurd that it provides a mere 60mm against KE while weighting 5 tons?

They did this to Ariete too. WAR kit provides 14mm additional kinetic protection on the turret face and now weighs 5.5 tons

In 2 (2F)’s case, I believe the 5,000 Kg figure should be for the WHOLE pack, not just the LFP add-on…

The issue is, they are adding those 5,000 Kg not to the base CR2, but to the one that already includes all the side add-on armor.

Like, it should be:
62.5t + 5t = 67.5t

Not:
64 + 5 = 69

Since the 64 figure already implies the base 62.5 + 1.5 side add-on armor.

The turret left rear housed an ammunition compartment sealed off from the crew by an armoured bulkhead with a sliding door. 120 mm rounds such as the L23A1 APFSDS could be vertically stacked in rows.

You know the composite that is inside the turret cheek? Something very simmilar is in that block. But Gaijin says gaijin, they ignore the composite part and focus on nera, giving the composite horrible KE multipliers, for example 0.3 taken from non other than 2F we talk about.
What i would love, is to ask if someone can extract the 3d model of the thank, that has all the parts on it checkable and named just like in the code, so we can see what is where?
