So since missing spall liners can be reported, I created this thread to collect data and sources on their application in british vehicles. Feel free to add stuff
Challenger 1:
Chieftain
For Chally 2, Warrior so far:
Good stuff added to the CR1 report.
If we get any Boxers variants in future:

Also Ajax
Can get a job inspecting the spall liners while you wait for it to come to War Thunder:

While not great, they do nudge me into thinking spall liners exist for the CVRT fleet even more
A number of light alloys were used to make this vehicle. The FV102 has an aluminum armor hull with spaced high-hardness steel armor. Interior is lined with a spall liner
So striker potentially has 1 and same for other CVRTs. Cant really find anything hard beyond a guy talking about removing the liner from his CVRT and being told its a spall liner by somebody else.
Theres also a site called scorpion tank spares that has a part listed as something like “boss, mounting, spall” though could just mean something else I guess.
If anyone can deny a spall lining for CVRT and save my search that would also be fine, but I am sure theres a liner on them, or is it just a “sound dampening system” xD
Can A1E1 Independent get a spall liner? It had an asbestos interior wall. Lol.
Crew loses health over time
Was waiting for this reply. Lol.
What are we classifying as spall liners? Does a separate interior wall count? Some British WW2 vehicles had an interior mild steel or manganese steel (can’t remember which) interior wall to mount internal equipment and stowage on. The entire idea was to create separation so if a round impacted the main armour it wouldn’t dislodge all the stuff mounted inside the tank.
Also, ammo stowage bins. Is there a minimum thickness Gaijin will consider? There’s several late WW2 British tanks that had 4mm steel or 8mm mild steel/manganese steel (again, can’t remember which) stowage bins.
