Is the British challenger tank irl really very good?

all 3 will likely be sent out after a joint F-35/B-21/B-2/F-22 strike anyways

strongest shell would be DM53 out of the L/55

speaking of which, DU darts should have more potent spall and incindiary spall at that

Second strongest then.

Which would include L27A1

75

yeah, would be a win win, and a reason to put M1A1 AIM at 11.3 since it uses tungsten dart, with less pen by far to boot

There’s too much wrong with the Abrams and it’s probably one of the worst modeled tanks in the game.
I made a bug report about the 100+mm of gunshield armor not even modeled in game which got ignored lol. You hear the US mains cry all the time but it’s not entirely click baits fault. There’s just too much wrong with them, plus it accounts for 8+ versions that are all modeled the same.

I’m sure Challys have their issues as well

77

Eh… I wouldnt be so sure about that

Its a little out of date, but you get the gist (I gave up keeping it up to date, it was getting too depressing):

i know this is kind of random, but is there a way to force replenish the 1st stage ammo stowage instead of waiting for it to happen automatically

79

I hope all of the problems get sorted out before they start pushing more questionably modeled stuff on the servers. I’m one of the only guys to advocate not adding the sep v3 and abrams x simply because the sep and sep v2 should be one of the best tanks if fixed.

Not that I am aware of.

81

thanks, they really should implement it though, could be very useful

82

Yeah, if given the choice, no Brit Main would have agreed to the CR3TD. Full CR3 when its actually been fully revealed. Sure. But given all the problems the CR2s have. Throwing an intentionally weak tank into the TT fixes nothing

Yeah, it would. Especially if they never fix the CR2s ready rack. We also have the longest ready replenishment at 20 seconds per round. Being able to force it when it was convenient would be really handy

its because its multi piece right?

My thoughts exactly

What is this stealth aircraft discussion? I thought we are in a tank thread.

back on topic now

God knows. My theory is its max rounds divided by a set time. So both the CR2 and the Abrams for example would replenish from 0 to full in the same amount of time, but because we have 4 rounds, each round takes WAY longer. But I have no idea what the replenishment time is on other tanks. So I have no way of knowing if that is the case or not.

But, It could also just be a hold-over mitigation from when we had one of the fastest reloads in game.

A: “yes, you have the fastest rate of fire, but only in short bursts”

89

Them loaders didn’t skip arm or leg days lol

90

but it is a multi piece, so even if they did it realistic it would take longer no matter what unfortunately

91

True, but instead of being 4 rounds, it could be 24-28 instead. So basically, like the Abrams and many other tanks. First stage replenishment is rarely a problem they have to worry about. Meanwhile CR1s and CR2s have to deal with it all the time
