Nah, we all know that the best tank in the world is the Bob Semple Tank.

clearly the best tank in the world is a sherman with a 152mm gun

This is 122mm
yeah ok then it loses out to being the best tank to this:

Caution with my scariest fiat ansaldo
Your planes can’t get past my new air defenses.
Nothing, he just lands his plane on the other side of the planet at Mach jesus
Which ones?
I can’t think of any that were experimental.
What makes you think Challenger tanks are bad?
The mobility and the size.
They’re not good at anything besides sniping. They can’t flank, they can’t rush choke points, and they can’t do what literally every other nations can. Although beating out the T series and the Chinese MBT in sniping department but they have other option for gameplay.
But that where the upside end , you either sit back and pick a good sniping spot to support your team or suffer. Giving Challies bettter armour would not help the situation in anyway possible when they are the heaviest MBT in the game
Unless your teammate actually use more than 2 brain cells you will suffer. I suggest changing to another nation , it is definitely not you being bad luque. It just the ground top tier force for Britain is pretty ass. Maybe Challies 3 can improve the situation but as of now nothing can help it. Not to mention you will be match with US and horde of Premium player. Yeah I would not recommend anyone to play Brit, maybe the air tree and the naval tree but that it.

First to develop a properly working ERA and use it in the field is Israel, not USSR. Bogdan Voitsekhovsky invented the concept in 1950 but the Soviets couldn’t make it work without damaging the tank. The concept was then shelved by the Soviets for decades. Dr. Manfred Held independently made a better ERA in the early 70s, IDF bought the concept, funded it, and created Blazer, fielding it in combat by 1982, 1 year before Kontakt-1 was put on Soviet tanks.
They are also not the first to use autoloaders; the AMX-13 did it first. On top of it, the AMX-13 autoloader design ended up being much more visionary(bustle rack revolver) than the carousel autoloader found on Soviet tanks.
Only fools would say the USSR invented nothing, but they were technologically backward, especially when it comes to anything electronics. The gap started in 1947 when US Bell Labs invented the transistor. The USSR was really damn good at building vacuum tubes but failed to catch up with transistors. By the 60s, integrated circuits were a thing in the West while the USSR was still struggling with early 50s germanium point-contact transistors designs. By the 70s and microprocessors, the USSR already had a 15-year gap in electronics.
The West invented so much more foundational technologies, it’s not even a fair competition. Here’s an already extensive yet incomplete list of Western techs:
