For the first year of its life, it had 4x Aim-9Ls. It got Aim-9M because it was underperforming significantly at its BR of 11.7 and had been for the better of the last 9 months at that point. Its BR did not change upon recieving 4x Aim-9M. (though I do personally beleieve 12.3 is now way too high, especially in sim with no radar)
tbh I think they should revert its reload nerf, give it back its 5 second reload on an aced crew so it has some kinda benefit over the 2a7

That is the other option for it. At the moment the choice going from chally 2 to chally 3 is
Chally 2:
Better reload
better armour
Better mobility (2E)
vs
Chally 3
Better shell
Better commander sight
If it had better reload, it owuld be a glass cannon still but a usable glass cannon

Indeed. There’s no reason why every other Challenger, or every Abrams, can have a 5 second reload… but Challenger 3 (TD) must be 6 seconds.
It’s literally worse than Challenger 2E and Challenger Black Night. Loses the reload strength in exchange for no read further strengths.
I added this to the topic!

yeah because honestly the DM53 doesnt even help to much since you will still aim for the same weak spots as L27A1

Regarding reload on regular Challengers I have no idea why ready rack is so small in game. It just doesnt make sense

Yeah… it has been proven over and over again that the rack at the back IS a first-stage ammorack, but Gaijin refuses to expand it to include it.
Also for some reason the tanks have the slowest first-stage replenishment times, at 26 seconds instead of 14. Because that nerf is totally necessary too.

It’s a tank that makes up a big portion of the German tank forces so I think it or one of its versions should be added.
So is the map changes to Eastern Europe final or is there an ability to vote for it to be reverted cos atm… the changes are ass… seems to go out of the way to force head to head engagements and hinder flanking… tbh could have easily fixed the sniping problems and all that if they edited the surrounds and less restrict half the damn map…
German players caused turmoil on Reddit, YouTube and the Forums when Leopard 2 PSO was implemented instead of a 2A7V/2E/2A6EX/TVM because it was deemed not to be enough of an upgrade compared to 2A6…
And you suggest 2A6 with mine protection as next Top Tier addition for Germany? They will nuke you when they find out lol

German mains are fine for a top tier MBT for a bit as according to gaijin they fixed the ricochet for the upper hull of the 2A7
@Smin1080p_WT Why did gaijin choose to gimp Eastern Europe by removing half the map and is there a way it can be reverted or at least made an alternate option as tbh it only hurts the gameplay of the map if you remove the option for flanking… is there no way gaijin can at least change the positions of the capture zones like the B point across the river to at least spread people out or maybe change the layout of the exterior map to lessen hill sniping…

it was to balance out the UK having the fastest none auto loading reload at top tier but then they give the abrams the same reload…

That would be a major buff too
Anyway, in other british news. Tornado F3 buffs are making it slap really hard and the Jaguar Gr1A has the Phimat pod for 216 large calibre chaff and Im really hoping the F3 and F3 Late get its missing Phimat pods (in place of fuel tanks or in place of 1x Aim-9)

[/quote] there is 3 versions they could add. 1 of them is a basically a 2a7v. Also not every addition has to be a new end of the line Vic.
Fixed is a good joke for did something but it’s still worse than 122s for magic reasons. But that leaves only 10+ bug reports open about 2a7V
I mean it should be at least 8 rounds ready rack (iirc 12? maybe more?) - if you read Castlemartin Accident report it shows and specifies the charge bins (the ready ones, that were left open in the accident) can stow 8 charges for APFSDS iirc
It could even be higher than that. but in either case. It should be decently larger than what it is currently
Me: makes a thread to suggest that Challenger 3 (TD), one of the worst 11.7s in the game, could use DM36 in order to become a little more relevant.
German mains: Rush towards the thread to demand the shell for Leopard 2A7V too, one of the best tanks the game will ever see.
lol.
I mean, lol.
Sometimes I hate being an all-nation player. Try to balance every nation’s vehicles so that the game is fun and balanced for everyone, only to be hit with a bat in the head by mains who just want their own nation to be above any other.
