He didn’t, that’s how he handles issues. He’s the reason I’ve stopped bug reporting on the old forums. Both KoTA and ZZ are an absolute disgrace for the tech mods community.

I’m not so sure Challenger 3 Prototype equipped DM63 APFSDS like Leopard 2A7 ?

At least I hope gajin new APFSDS replacement DM33 this month

Isn’t this the same issue with the CR2s? Once you have exhausted the ready rack and the next stage, it takes aprox 30 seconds to reload a round. At this point I think it would be better to just drop the ready rack completely and have a flat reload rate.

The promo materials for CR3 show DM63A1 being loaded

Spoiler


CR2 reload from second stage is reasonable, with an expert crew you go from 5.3s to ~7.1s.

I need to do a test with a stock CR2 to see the 1:1 comparison but it definitely isn’t 4x slower (which seems to be something CR3 inherited from the Leopard 2s)

I think it will be tweaked in the 2nd dev. I hope so at least

That is if we get a part 2.

We should

I think they’d prefer to get the update out this week and spend next week on bug fixes, than push it out next week a few days before Christmas, when the devs will be having time off

DM63 is the only ap round it has used

The ch3 gets no spall liner on its turret, as they cannot see evidence of it.

No shit Sherlock, it’s a prototype which never entered service.

It is asinine to put it in the hull and not the turret. If that configuration ever entered service, it wouldn’t most certainly have had them.

That thing on the cheek is not a spal lliner, i think?

Nothing i think?

So no spall liner in the turret

It’s realistic and fine, the hull is the big killer so this really isn’t a big issue.

The demonstrator won’t enter service though, everything we’ve seen of CR3 so far is still using the existing CR2 turret citadel. You could use that to argue for a liner in the turret as it’s the same as CR2’s, but idk how far you’d get

Nah, not worth it and won’t happen. I just hope the hull coverage is good.

No. The turret got digitalized. That meant works in the inside of the turret, where spall liner got removed, and never added back, as TD is not supposed to take park in combat
