Challenger DS may need L26 APFSDS ammunation :(

Id not be surprised if all nations get them eventually

Good news: NATO have some new tanks for CQB map.
Bad news: Kornet dont care though

Because its legal cheat, lol. Feautres like Automatic lead (and then its future version) were used in T-64. But do you really wanna basically autoaim in kinda 3rd person tank-shooter?

i think we could have it in the future… but not now.
and NATO tanks will go to higher BR with it

someone has said we couldnt have laser-rangefinder long time ago, but we get that now right?>

I Still dont understand why the Chally DS doesnt have L26.

Give it the add on armour, L26 and move it to 10.3 with the other mk.3 chally.

Cant speak to the ammo but I suspect its all tided up to the lack of the addon armour. That being without the shell and armour it could have a lower rating. Also they were specifically modelling this tank (hence the lack of armour kit);

Fair.

However, I did post a topic on the old forum with evidence that all challengers that took part in Desert Storm carried L26.

I’d still be happy for it to go up to 10.3 with L26 and no additional armour, as that would be correct as per sources and your image.

L23A1 just doesn’t cut it with the tanks it faces. Too many ‘non pen’ and ricochet.

Could always make the add on on armour a reverse vis mod, taking away the sandbags & stencils, and making it like the TT Mk.3.

A similar way in which the M1KVT works. Making it a standard M1 when you remove the vis mod.

On the grounds that at that BR, you are probably running a Lynx/Jaguar Gr1A for CAS, both 10.3, The Stormer at 10.3 and probably when you get it, something like the Mk3 anyway. I reckon for most you are probably going to be running the Chally DS in a 10.3 line up, I know I would. So it being 10.0 is semi-irrelevant a lot of the time, but it would be nice for it at minimum to have the L26 shell appropriate for that.

I get why when it was added their desire to keep it at the lower BR, but I just dont feel that is necessary anymore and it probably is about time to restore it

İ seriously dont understand why Chally Ds hasnt recieved L26 and Type-16 Fps didnt recieved Type-93 shell.

Both tanks are practically same vehicles you can find on tech tree yet Gaijin hold them off with silly Logic.

Just look at Wolfpack, its basically tech tree version of M1128 and also recieved M900 in exchange of Br increase.

Same Logic should apply to those tanks as well.

Well it not Russian i guess? if those are Russians they get 3BM42 by now

İts not just Russians, M1128 Wolfpack also got the same treatment.

İt recieved M900 and got br increased, all we are asking is the same for our Chally DS and Type-16FPS but for some reason Gaijin is refusing to do that.

The whole idea behind prems was to bolster lineups and with these all at 10.3 there is no reason to not give it this ammo and put it at 10.3

They literally don’t play their own game or come up with lies or fake crap, I mean they literally just said the FGR2 phantom is fine at 11.3 “without” its aim 9Ls.

Yeah, the T-90 originally planned at 10.7 kinda proved the fact that they decided to add it without even looking at the TT.

I mean can they not add vehicles at any BR without there being existing vehicles? If we had no 10.7s surely you’d fix that by adding 10.7s which they did. Gotta start somewhere.

Perhaps, but you could start with adding 2 into the gap, or something can be used more flexibly. Like an IFV. A 10.7 IFV that would work in a support role in top tier wouldn’t have been quite as bad as a MBT at a bracket we already have a dozen MBTs

they rarely look at lineups/tech tree, they dont care if you have to uptier your whole lineup for the addition of one vehicle, the BR changes theyre proposing prove that too, especially additions that are desperately needed but are at a too high of a BR, my best recent example I have is the Israelin Chaparall which shouldnt be on the same BR as the Roland, its not even close in terms of capability and we have the Strela at 9.3, which has more maneuverable missiles and has IRCCMish aswell, and now with the contrast seeker you can now even lock helicopters further then the Stingers can but the Chaparall has to be at 10.3 while the Strela sits below the Ozelot, which imo is hilarious.

Actually i think its not difficult for gaijin to give Chally DS L26, since M1128 get its newest ammo as well.
i think if gaijin think this problem fairly, L26 should be equipped to Chally DS

Not saying its hard at all, its a balancing choice.

could you please explain how this choice work? to prevent British having a dozen MBTs in 10.3? /i guess

I don’t have the specifics on why and when the devs decide on what ammo a vehicle should get unfortunately. I just know ammo choice is a balance decision.
