2E is the exact same as a 2 other than in 3 categories... Better engine, commander thermals and a .50 cal. History: 2E was created after Canada requested options for imports (Challenger 2 was designed for home use only), it was then created but as soon as it was Canada then bought Leopard 2's. Greece then requested to do import trials and several 2E's were still operational. In the Trials the 2E was on par to Abrams and Leopard 2's in manoeuvrability, out performed others in survivability but completely flopped penetration and accuracy. Due to this, the 2E was written off as a option. After the trials the crew were baffled to why the 2E did so bad in the gunnery trial and inspected everything... They found the barrel had been severely damaged and fouled with soot, they then inspected the ammo and found that they were using old challenger 1 charges designed for desert warfare and were well out of usage date. Due to this, the 2E program was scrapped, even though the 2E was superior to the standard Challenger 2, The British army never even got this upgrade.
Challenger 2E was a export variant of challenger 2 designed around the middle eastern export market the British had a good track record with. There are no records that Canada ever showed any level of interest in procuring CR2E however both Australia and South Africa did with officials from the former attending a firepower demonstration in the UK. Vickers would attend the Greek tank trials with CR2E in 1998 of which there was only a single CR2E vehicle ever built. The poor performance in Greece didn’t spell the end for 2E as BAE would continue to market 2E up to 2005 after acquiring Alvis vickers in 2003/2004.

Okay the weirdest thing is that with the same gun and round, same performance, the trajectory of the L27A1 whilst passing through the 2E's main cannon is much more tighter than it coming out of ANY other Chally 2's. Yes, the zoom level in the export Chally is different, by just by 1x less when not zoomed in, than the British Armed Force, the zoomed in value is also 10 times.
Damn right, it’s almost painful how incorrectly it’s modeled and continues to. Aside from the additional dust mitigation skirting the entire hull is incorrectly modeled and although since the dev server gaijin has remodeled the engine and transmission both are still wrong. The powerpack is currently modeled as the conventionally mounted MTU 873, as used in most leopard 2’s, whereas the challenger 2E used the compact transversely mounted MTU MT883/renk “Europowerpack’
Nice to see a Chally 2 that can easily outrun, Leos, T80S Abrams etc.... will surely be a treat to play, always adored the Challenger family and this will be soooooo much more fun!
I heard the Conway a 7.0 tank can penetrate more than the Abrams now in this update. Haven't verified this myself but if its true that would be insane lol.
Its quite funny how most APDS shells were buffed but however, practically almost any tank that uses the 105 L7 APDS is most certainlly bugged atm. If you attempt to penertrate a tank with 105 APDS, the sabot will for some reason angle itself downwards towards the ground whether it penertrates a tank, affecting spall damage as well.

maybe a little but the 🅱️esh on the challengers has a tone of tnt equivalent and i think they fixed overpressure so now it deletes any light tank it hits. i usually bring some because if you hit anywhere on the front or turret of a 2S38 with 120 mm hesh it gets deleted.
the most shit part about this game’s community is just having everybody bitch about every aspect of every update. like what are they expecting an entire new game’s worth of content. probably not a sigle one of those people know how to program and yet they think they have the right to say the devs don’t know what they are doing. like i would like to see any one of them go and try to do the simplest bug fix because they probably can’t even do that.
Because, as it stands, the 2E is only half finished. The model is largely incorrect and needs work, a gaijin forum mod has mentioned they are working on this however. Secondly although they changed the X-ray engine model from the CV12 to the leopard 2’s MTU its still incorrect as the 2E used the compact Europowerpack.
Go figure all the Challenger chassis needed was a CITV and more engine power. Wonder why Britain didn't do this sooner... *Stares at Challenger 2 2020's standard*
Looks like the challenger 3 prototype as the challenger 2 normally has that big old gunner sight I think above the gone but the challenger 3 doesn’t… could be wrong 🤷🏼
The CR2E replaced the TOGS above the barrel with the day/night sight you can see just below the Cupola. Challenger 3 (at least the prototype) does use the same turret shell as CR2, but with very different optics and the L55A1 gun, and the engine (at least for the production versions) is the CV12-9A, which generates about 1500hp. As new turrets are being manufactured, it’s possible that the production version will look different to the prototype.
@@sentinelxcix2526 the Rheinmetall challenger technology demonstrator (now owned and managed by RBSL) uses the same new, digital, modular, welded turret as will be used on the prototype run and production CR3’s.

Formidable? ... chally armor is still way too weak evem the turret armor is shitty compared to leo and abrams. And dont get me started on the brech BS along the whole chassis which is just garbage! Even some of the non top tier shells pen this thing easily, 3BM46 for example. Why would you play this when there are so many better top tier vehicles in other nations? Nothing uniqe about it, nothing. At least it should be the armor king in top tier. Make the breach and composite in the upper hull strong. Like the breach is HUGE the slab of armor on it is so big there is no way its only 200ish mm of armor. 0 chance of it.
The composite isn’t the issue, compared with other NATO tanks the composite offers decent protection (~525mm against darts from the front). The issue is that half of the front hull profile is ~84mm against KE, the drivers viewport is unprotected as well, any documentation that proves the thickness of the armour plate behind the mantlet is classified (as demonstrated by Fear_Naught). You say “only” 200mm but that’s the same base thickness as the Maus’ frontal armour.
With the ammo replenish being standardized the Challengers received a big buff being able to fill the 4 first stage ammo quickly for that fast reload.

Dude,it's not 59,60kmp,the real speed in terrain is 40 in all speed after 15 sec,on the hills with 30,45 degree the speed us 25/15 kmp,BTW you have awful turning
@@itz_chieftain976 yeah I just mean it’s faster than all the other challengers, and I know how awful the turning is. Just got my first challenger 2 a few days ago and it’s been 95% suffering with it, at least when I fight Russia, BVMs and T-80Us with troll armor and NATO teams where 70% of them leave after 1 death, make the experience very very infuriating
Did BESH get buffed or something?
maybe a little but the 🅱️esh on the challengers has a tone of tnt equivalent and i think they fixed overpressure so now it deletes any light tank it hits. i usually bring some because if you hit anywhere on the front or turret of a 2S38 with 120 mm hesh it gets deleted.
the most shit part about this game’s community is just having everybody bitch about every aspect of every update. like what are they expecting an entire new game’s worth of content. probably not a sigle one of those people know how to program and yet they think they have the right to say the devs don’t know what they are doing. like i would like to see any one of them go and try to do the simplest bug fix because they probably can’t even do that.
7:18 Yea im doin that
Did they increase map size?
The twitch highlight should have been called "I'll try spinning that's a good trick" instead.
Im going to make a video of myself out pacing abrams in my
No black night in your top tier British lineup?, thats a surprise, personally prefer it over the TES anyday post NERA nerf
why is the challenger 2E using the perkins engine sound? Should sound like a Leopard 2.
Because, as it stands, the 2E is only half finished. The model is largely incorrect and needs work, a gaijin forum mod has mentioned they are working on this however. Secondly although they changed the X-ray engine model from the CV12 to the leopard 2’s MTU its still incorrect as the 2E used the compact Europowerpack.
Can you play T1E1??
apds under 120mm ia broken too
This update has many bugs and is almost unplayable. Does not let me use fire extinguishers and anti-aircraft are bug
Go figure all the Challenger chassis needed was a CITV and more engine power. Wonder why Britain didn't do this sooner... *Stares at Challenger 2 2020's standard*
The MOD won’t fund something they don’t think *needs* to be done.
@@HJDore yeah well, this is the British MOD we're talking about here...
Seems to have better thermals
Looks like the challenger 3 prototype as the challenger 2 normally has that big old gunner sight I think above the gone but the challenger 3 doesn’t… could be wrong 🤷🏼
The CR2E replaced the TOGS above the barrel with the day/night sight you can see just below the Cupola. Challenger 3 (at least the prototype) does use the same turret shell as CR2, but with very different optics and the L55A1 gun, and the engine (at least for the production versions) is the CV12-9A, which generates about 1500hp.
As new turrets are being manufactured, it’s possible that the production version will look different to the prototype.
@@sentinelxcix2526 the Rheinmetall challenger technology demonstrator (now owned and managed by RBSL) uses the same new, digital, modular, welded turret as will be used on the prototype run and production CR3’s.
@@sentinelxcix2526 thank you :)
Iam miles away from the Challenger 2
id take the first 2 challenger 2 over this version. without the extra armour its a downgrade however fast they made it.
They said current VT-1 and pantsir missiles is not a bug. It's very unbalance, while the missile is realistic but plane can still maneuvering unrealistic.
Great but still uses L27A1 maybe some L28 rounds gajin .......
they finally buffed challenger 2 and gave it 1500 hit points, thank god
Nah man im part of the people who dont have anything close to top tier
I haven’t gotten top top tier Britain but I am looking forward to playing it
Cool
Justin secretly loves the challengers😏 he knows it too!
Bet you didn't know the l23 can go though the breach and around it
Got a love how the Russian tanks are invincible. That by itself, ruins, top-tier for me.
Hope they don't nerf the newest AA as I hate CAS with all my heart.
hope they nerf the shit out of it.
U enjoy being sniped from few kilometres by planes and helis?
@@GinBoeDusky the only br where it’s ass and there is no balance is 9.7 uptiered to 10.7 and even then it’s only helicopters.
@@n1co2017 My highest BR is 8.3 and I am being sniped by Aluette almost every game. The more it's hard for CAS players to play their flying shit the happier I am.
@@GinBoeDusky i think you might be doing something slightly wrong if you are getting clapped by a heli consistently every battle. also the alouette is really not that bad it’s relatively low range makes it relatively easy to deal with with aa.
Still far prefer the Black Night
Where your forehead begin
Hesh meta???😂
I still see a lot of Russian tanks with the « Z ». That’s annoying to see and the players should be banned for this. Or the decal removed totally
Are russian tanks wth do you expect them to use?american flags?those kids now days "AiN Z MusT bE BAnNed" just go cry in the corner
So they removed the missile protection?
Guess they couldnt handle their op KA50s starting to NOT owning every single top tier game anymore with the Dark Knight....
#russianbias #isreal
Formidable? ... chally armor is still way too weak evem the turret armor is shitty compared to leo and abrams.
And dont get me started on the brech BS along the whole chassis which is just garbage! Even some of the non top tier shells pen this thing easily, 3BM46 for example.
Why would you play this when there are so many better top tier vehicles in other nations? Nothing uniqe about it, nothing. At least it should be the armor king in top tier. Make the breach and composite in the upper hull strong. Like the breach is HUGE the slab of armor on it is so big there is no way its only 200ish mm of armor. 0 chance of it.
They wont properly represent Chally armour, the claim is that it would be "unbalanced" for Russian tanks
The composite isn’t the issue, compared with other NATO tanks the composite offers decent protection (~525mm against darts from the front).
The issue is that half of the front hull profile is ~84mm against KE, the drivers viewport is unprotected as well, any documentation that proves the thickness of the armour plate behind the mantlet is classified (as demonstrated by Fear_Naught). You say “only” 200mm but that’s the same base thickness as the Maus’ frontal armour.
i really want challenger 3 to come to war thunder
Finally speedy British mbt lmao
