The only explanation I can think of is marketing. They want “challenger 3!” In their game, reality and facts be dammed.

Although, air superiority is turning out to be basically made up anyway, the mis-naming of the tank is the least egregious part of gaijins denial of reality.

I will never, ever stop being salty about them claiming the ch1 doesn’t have a spall liner.

Intentionally wrong, like how the Challie 2 is modeled in game?

As I previously said, dissagrements are welcome as were source backed reports. I or anyone else cannot do anything simply by responding to my posts over and over that something is wrong.

As it happens someone did report it with sufficient evidence and it will be changed in a future version.

Whilst I appreciate that bug reports with sufficient evidence is required. even when that is provided changes don’t always happen. Just look at the mass of reported bugs for the CR2. Several are more than a year old (and have been acknowledged for quite a while)

By making a properly sourced bug report, there is a chance something can be properly resolved. By pinging me or any other staff member to simply argue something is wrong without soruces and a report, leads to little to no chance it a resolution.

Yep, though actions speak louder than words. It’s one thing to say it’s being looked at. Its another for bug reports to actually start getting fixed. In the meantime. I think more bug reports have been submitted for me to add to the list

Thanks to your reports, the Challenger 3’s name will be changed to Technology Demonstrator (TD) instead of Prototype, with the weight decreasing from 66 to 62.5 tons.

I watch that video to this day. I enjoyed the bit where he was going in circles around the bush to stop the HESH, little did he know the Challenger 2 could also use CHARM 3 APFSDS rods
