Why are the Challenger 1s at 10.3 and 10.7?

Compared to the later trash-heaps that are the CR2s, I do agree. Though I still dont think there is any justification for ahistorically sized ready rack (4 rounds instead of its 20+) and/or stupidly long ready rack replenishment (20-25 seconds per round)

After that, its just a little polishing that wont really affect balance much that is needed for them and then fixing the rest of the line-up. Things like the Stormer needs some buffs/fixes and we could still do with a decent gun IFV

ready rack + DU fix for its L26 rounds should put it in a decent spot

Mk2 has L23A1. Mk3/DS have L26 but I think both are DU, but dont quote me on that

wiki says L23A1 is Tungsten but L26 is DU, but its wiki after all

I honestly have no idea, so Id trust wiki

so would mostly help the challenger 2, which is good since apparently challenger is solid how it is now

Yeah, the small ready rack isn’t a huge issue but the replenishment absolutely is. Reminds me of 7.7/8.0 French autoloaders.

10.7 is a great lineup, the Vickers Mk.7 is amazing. Surprised Gaijin hasn’t done the usual when a minor nation has something good. Desert Warrior is nerfed due to the TOWs being bad. Challys like I said are good. And the Bhishma is… an option, lol.

Don’t worry, we’ll be getting 3 new Indian SPAAs at 10.7 next update ;)

It’s suffers a bit due to compression, but fairly solid vs most others at its BR. Its also the last in which we actually have a decent line-up.

great, then a DU fix and CR1/2 ready rack buff would make britain somewhat competitive at the top

I really need to work on that line at some point, but I just cant be bothered to farm ground at the moment. Heck. I’ve done most of the event in aircraft in GSB :D

Yeah… Not far off spading it, and its a pain to try and use. Would kill for something like a Warrior VERDI II for that BR. That would be a LOT of fun.

Would finally fix the gap we have at that BR, either there or at 8.3. Missing an SPAA for that BR as well.

CR1s… Yes.

CR2s… Thats a small start for the list of issues they have.

it would at least greatly increase the firepower and 1 hit kill probability

Definitely worth it. Basically take a Leopard 2A4 and give it DM33 (with the nerf being the worse gun handling and Chally style ready rack).

Currently I’m working on getting the TTD since it seems like a fun tank. The UFP is surprisingly thick, though I wouldn’t mind the reload getting buffed to 6.0 seconds like the Leopard 2AV which is a very similar vehicle instead of 6.7

Maybe eventually. But after i finish grinding the event, i’ll be back to Air and Naval for a while I think and just pick at ground for now.

Cool, add Ajeya and Sarath to continue the USSR larp

Its very solid but the 105 spalling is uh inconsistent. My biggest gripe is the lack of any MG, made the original stock grind pretty painful.

The nerf is supposed to be the turret armour not being amazing, but idk I get lucky in it alot and bounce a lot of shots I shouldn’t.

Honestly the engine isn’t that bad, just very average. Still more than enough to get into position and such.
The TTD has the same HP btw, although I believe a little better HP/T due to being a bit lighter.

Ngl though the SPAA spam in the 10.3/.7 line-ups is probably one of my favourite parts of it, the ability to chain SPAA that covers each others deficiencies is grand. Would like to see some more Indian MBTs though, the Bishma has become my preferred 2nd/3rd spawn due to the overall good characteristics in pretty much every avenue (apart from the gun handling but that’s much less of an issue than people make out of it, and the reverse). I’d like to see the domestic Combat Improved Ajeya upgrade come, basically a PT-91 upgrade for the T-72M1, would have pretty good mobility too. The Arjun would be nice too, although it would play much like the Challengers as far as I’m aware.

Oi, don’t try and convince gaijin to stop adding 8.3 spaa, I need my all Spaa lineup already smh

Challenger 1 armor has never been nerfed. Buffed at least once, but never nerfed.
Mobility isn’t exclusively acceleration.
Challenger 1 has better mobility than T-72B and probably B3, the B3 accelerates faster in a straight line, but loses a ton of mobility in traverse, and rearward movement.

The Chally Mk3 is among the best 10.7s in the game.

There arent many 10.7s in game. the main 10.7s, the Leopard 2A4 and T-80U from the event being spammed out, blow the CR1 out of the water

Leopard 2A4 has an inferior round.
T-80UD is less mobile, I forget its round, likely inferior.

Nerfed no, at least not that I’m aware of. But the DS is missing the extra armour that was equipped when it deployed to Op Granby
