The problem is its mobility isn't even that bad the tank can really move in real life and hold its speed while turning something which in game if u do it just stops.
I want a reallife Chally 2 cause than any other tank ingame can go take his stuff and leave haha cause Chally is stronger then Leo2A6 now proofen in Ukrain. Stronger than Abrams, cause they fight over years the Same weaponery. and Chally 2 didnt explode from a Tow rocket like the Trashcan Us tank.
@@Achillobator85 When Chally 2 Joins the Comabt its the Same Firepower he has to defend like in Iraq oder Kosovo. And its a Fact that the Swinez 2 Round did not Penetrate his Armor Parts.

CHally 2 fight 4 years without Air Support in Iraq but dont matters cause Mines and hundret of Rocket or 3BM42/46 round who are fired into his armor but yeah. Chally 2 Survived Cause he has the strongest Armor. Of Course he is a Old Dog but Dude Leo 2A6 from the Canadians fight every single day and the stand against Anti Tank weapons who any other Tank maybe got destroyed but. Chally 2 say whatever you want got dested hundret of times. Swinez 2 Rounds, DM63 Rounds, M829A3 rounds the Only one able to fire threw the Entire Hull Armor Part was the DM63 round. But Chally didnt fight against German Engeneering. He fight against Old Russian Technologie I mean the Swinez 2 Round Penetrate 700mm Armor ?? Able to destroy any Nato Tank include Chally 2 but only in his Weakspots wich mean Driver Spot and Lower hull. Thats a Fact. Leo and Abrams are completely Fucked cause they have only Turret armor wich get not Penetrated by this Round.And Abrams is maybe a lag too when its the M1A1 cause the First really strong Abrams was the M1A2 Tusk 2.
The Challenger is restricted to Hull down defensive position game play, but Gaijin can't even give it proper breach armour so it can fulfil this role...
yeah gaijin does this to alot of tanks like a deliberate nerf. its not good gameplay to treat breaches and there armour like paper and have them shot out every 10 seconds people should have to actually aim not get cheap kills. one of the most annoying for me is the fv4005 breach that when a single 50cal touches is knocked out yet the bloody things thicker than most tanks armour.
@murkser4149 Of course, these are weak points in the game. However, the Challenger's, compared to the likes of the Leopard and the T80/90's (as an example), is unreasonably massive and unrealistic. You don't even need to try and shoot the weak points around the Challenger's breach. It's so big that it takes up about 1/3 of its frontal turret armour.
@@p3rranIt's also a massive weakspot on Type 10, Leclerc, ZTZ99A, Ariete, etc. As I said, if they buff it on Challenger buff it on these tanks as well.
@@arron4749 But french have better armor and mechanized ammo pack and Soviets have also lighter weight. British have the most heavy weight, worse engine power, worse round, average reload, thats the worst tanks in warthunder
@@arron4749 The Abrams having a longer reload after 1st stage is meaningless because the first stage it the area in the back of the turret which hold plenty of rounds for an entire match. Like wise the Leo 2s and Type 10s only having blow out panels for 15-16 shots isn't a problem, because you won't need more than that in a standard match. Basically everyone leaves after one death so its unlikely you'll encounter more than three enemies and if you need more then 5 shots per enemy it won't matter how big your ammo reserve is because aiming like that means you won't last long enough to use it. While you may be right that some other tanks have worse reload, or armour, or whatever else, the Chally has, or is tied for, the worst of all of them at the same time on one tank.
I can agree with that the Challe in the real life one of the safest MBT's and it is a real tracked fortress, btw the almighty snail doesn't like the briish tech-tree, so its one of the weakest MBT's in the game and deffinetly not a tracked fortress... Isn't it a pity?

@michaelmurray5631 They bought Chobham, back in the 70s, yes... they then immediately set about upgrading it and had it almost completely replaced with superior arrays by 1983 (IPM1)... They then upgraded the Abrams armor again in 1986 (M1A1 Heavy variant with DU layer), again in 1989 (M1A2), again in 1997 (M1A2 SEP), and again in 2002, before upgrading it a final time for the M1A2C in 2017... In all that time the Challenger saw a single upgrade - from Challenger 1 to Challenger 2 in 1990. Going based on declassified reports from 2009 (specifically PC.59 Feasibility of Chobham Armor) that armor was never all that impressive compared to other nations
In my experience, Challengers get punched through by anyone on their BR and the Challenger 2 has a very weak dart for its tier compared to other MBTs. Then when you hear to go to the nearest sniper spot... where every other MBT is faster and has better darts at the same time, I wonder if the staff are playing their own game.
Big shame about the armor but the weaker dart makes sense because it uses a rifled cannon which due to the fins of an APDSFS round causes it to act like paddles in the air
550mm of pen at 1000m its not bad penetration, even when u play with abrams sep and leopard 2a6 you have to aim carefully to destroy enemy tanks, when i face challengers I have a lot of trouble finding the weak spot and if I miss the first shot I'm sure I'm still in the fight because I know he'll reload faster and finish the fight. the challenger's only real weakness is mobility
@@ycgameplays the L23 is so horrible that even though you hit the side of a Russian mbt right in the ammo and then into there fuel tank you have a 90% chance of doing nothing to him or a 10% chance of killing him.

Please fix challenger 1 and the challenger 2 armour. Over the years since challenger 1 first came to the game i have provided plenty off source's from every challenger book out there to unclassified documents like documents on the challenger 1 trails were they compared it to the Abrams. And it proved challenger 1 MK2 had around 500mm against kinetic and atleast 1000mm against chemical ammunition. And don't get me started on challenger 2 are how yous have give its add-on armour kits there incorrect protection values !!
@@Ritsu_Kuriaki yes I agree it is absolutely ridiculous like it's atleast 200mm thick then plus you have the composite armour back plate. And when you add it all up plus the tanks side hull armour it should be atleast 30mm apfsds proof of not 40mm and with the configuration that TES is in, it should stop Tandam warheads so it should should be pretty much immuned from every sort of chemical ammunition in the game !!
3:08 the l23 round does not do a lot of damage. When grinding the challenger 2 and challenger TES it refused to detonate Russian ammo racks. This is the finest form of gaslighting. Also fix and buff the challengers protection. (main problem is that most documents are still classified )
@@izwoofletime4883 But it's so much easier to just rename them to "ERA" and give them the identical stats to the ROMOR armor from 30 years prior!! you can't expect them to look at the unclassified stats that Rafael provides!!
Id love the TES if it actually had its real applique armour values, The TES package is supposed to be pass STANAG level 6 which is protection against 30mm APFSDS at 500m, looking at the rounds in game that would give around 80mm of effective kinetic protection, rather than 30mm of kinetic protection given in game. It doesnt sounds like much but that increase would dramatically improve it against the IFVs and would seriously reduce the effectivness of spalling against the challenger 2 TES. And the armour hole that is the breech makes 0 sense, fix those and the Challenger 2s will be a lot more viable in game.
@@murkser4149Yes it does, but the key is that the TES ERA should be able to resist 30mm APFSDS entirely by itself, no composite required. Right now it is functionally identical to the 2F in terma if protection outside of a few edge cases, while weighing substantially more. It's arguably one of the best end of the line vehicles in the game back when it was an end of the line because it made the 2F lose it's research penalty and there was no reason to get the TES and be disappointed, you can already be disappointed without getting it.
Gaijin, please give them challengers more armor, with their weak darts and lack of mobility, they really deserve to have one of the best armors in the game... meanwhile they have one of the worst
@@steelnail1917Well yeah but then you have the t72 turms at the same br as the challenger DS when it is statistically better than its British counterpart in almost every way
Its been like that for years. I think the last 2 br changes were the only where Russian tanks weren't lowered. Previously you'd see more lowered than raised which was opposite of every other nation
Too bad the Challenger 2 TES is completely nerfed into the floor by having the wrong ERA... IRL it has Rafael Shield R armor that's a mix of a NERA underplate with an ERA brick on top, in War Thunder it is visually Shield R, but is only ROMOR in protection. this problem's been pointed out for for years on the forums now, ever since before it was even officially added to the game. the TL/DR of the Challenger 2s in War thunder is IMO that the Black Night is the ONLY one worth using. as the rest are too slow and heavy and their top round is easily the worst in the game at top tier. (and unlike USSR/USA/(maybe) Germany, they have NOTHING that can back up their Challengers as their planes and helicopters are essentially worthless when compared to MiG-27K/Mi-28N and F-14B and F-16A) (and maybe Germany's MiG-29 as an intermediate solution to their lack of actual 12.0 groundstrikers)
The Challenger experience is having someone look at you and shooting anywhere without a care in the world whilst you have to aim for very small and specific points to even damage them, let alone kill. The Challenger experience is spending near a minute repairing your breech and gun barrel because someone hit one and somehow got both. This is with a level 150 silver crew too. The Challenger experience is getting ammo racked by Ruskis and Jerries but rarely detonating their ammo even with a direct hit. The Challenger experience is having your armour work when your gun is out and you are surrounded by T tanks. The Challenger experience is having a thirty millimetre mantlet, so even if the armour did work consistently, it would not matter anyway. Boy am I glad I got them all.
It’s not a fortress, not at all, if you want a fortress get the T-80BVM. Ok now buff all the minor nations armor and fix them to be more realistic and not missing armor
Please make its manoeuvrability realistic, please give it a faster turret traverse, please give the round its actual penetration, please model the armour correctly, please add more IFVs to Britain around top tier.
so does this means your gonna folder some of them and buff the turret breach armour? oh and fix the ERA? or are you gonna keep it nerfed because you hate Britain?
Hello Gaijin, just a question for the next shooting range, had war thunder had a collab with other games, like minecraft, and if not when will it happen?
Interesting fact about the Challenger 1 is that holds the record for the longest tank kill in history during the 1991 Gulf War knocking out a T55 at 3.1miles or 5000 meters away.
When will the suspension on wheeled vehicles (example: Radkampfwagen) react with the movement of the wheels? atm it seems they don't, at least not on console.
The Chieftain Mk.10 has better armor, maybe it’s bc it’s a lower br so the rounds aren’t as strong but it can withstand hits from the T72 TURMS best round
The survivability of all Challengers is almost the same as light tanks. One hit to the armor under the turret and you go to the hangar. Interestingly, when you shoot at Russian MBT tanks, you need at least 3 shots to the same place. As a result, the Challenger is not a Tracked Fortress. I’m ruining your myth in your own game.
@@thatonelocalauthority2809 Indeed. I was one of the fortunate lot to see those leaked Challenger classified documents put up on the WT forum before taken down. As usual the game Devs are kind of way off. Lol
Making a video instead of fixing the issue with the MBTs armor is not a way to appease the community. Video pretty much screams anyone who plays British MBT are getting dogged because the tank is dog when thats not the case. t80 BVMs and other vehciles tank shells better then this and they're worse armored. and when they don't tank the shell. they have a fuel tank eat it. and prevent them from dying.
When the chally trades it's mobility for protection but gaijin makes it's armour worse than almost every MBT ingame.
The problem is its mobility isn't even that bad the tank can really move in real life and hold its speed while turning something which in game if u do it just stops.

I don seen them to the zaporojie front
Where is them?
tracked fortress with made up holes in the turret...
Nice video, now how about you fix its armor as its far from being the fortress you claim it is
Never had any issues with challengers at all i love them and i survive alot. No negative towards the british mbt
so does this means your gonna folder some of them and buff the turret breach armour? oh and fix the ERA? or are you gonna keep it nerfed because you hate Britain?
"The cake is a lie."
"Challenger, try to remember the basics of CQC"
When will we get another sherman in the game? We clearly don't have enough shermans.
Hello Gaijin, just a question for the next shooting range, had war thunder had a collab with other games, like minecraft, and if not when will it happen?
Interesting fact about the Challenger 1 is that holds the record for the longest tank kill in history during the 1991 Gulf War knocking out a T55 at 3.1miles or 5000 meters away.
When will the suspension on wheeled vehicles (example: Radkampfwagen) react with the movement of the wheels? atm it seems they don't, at least not on console.
Now how about you guys fix the armor of MBTs you intentionally scuffed
chally armour should be the best in the game since were trading in mobility
The Chieftain Mk.10 has better armor, maybe it’s bc it’s a lower br so the rounds aren’t as strong but it can withstand hits from the T72 TURMS best round
The survivability of all Challengers is almost the same as light tanks. One hit to the armor under the turret and you go to the hangar. Interestingly, when you shoot at Russian MBT tanks, you need at least 3 shots to the same place. As a result, the Challenger is not a Tracked Fortress. I’m ruining your myth in your own game.
You should have mentioned how the Challenger was a continuation of the failed Shir tank project
ok i dont know if this is new or not but i just found out about migrating console accounts to pc and i just want to say thank you so much
This video is the pinacle of gaijing gaslighting people into thinking a stunted top tier mbt is actually good...
I got the challenger ds and unlocked the challenger mk.2 recently but what is actually the difference?
Challenger Ds is the Desert Storm Variant most called Challenger Mk 3 as I know.
@@fernandojohnsen7639 Officially its name should be "Challenger Mk.2 ODS", it's the November 1990 configuration seen in Kuwait before Op. Granby
@@theScottishKoala you right it was the MK2 not the Mk 3. Thx for correcting me.
What song started playing at 4:20?
1:16 😂 Isnt it Mario Kart?
Could we have a triathlon for modern top tier anti aircraft machines
Hi.Did you hear about He-115.
Song name in the later part of the video?
still. its turret and parts of the hull should be immune to all shells but nope :(
Challenger 3 when?
We likely won't get it anytime soon, russia seems to be the only nation that gets its tanks ahead of when they're accepted into service, like the 2S38
@@mattbrown7935 It's so they can have a half a centaury tech disparity and claim they aren't bias. 50 years difference between the A10 and the 2S38.
Day 1 of asking for modern RWR.
If you want modern RWRs, pls help make this the top comment!
Gaijin the 2S38 cant float in the Maginot line map you just drown please fix this glitch.
1:40 wrong with any sort of slight angle 3BM42 can't pen the turret cheeks.
Imagine calling it a "tracked fortess" and its completely useless
I just started playing with challengers and BOOM, there is a video. Do you guys stalk me?😂
It would be nice if you brought the rounds you were speaking of on the screen, when you list off the round types, it means almost nothing to me.
Only if people knew that the Leclerc armour is the weakest of all the western MBT's.
because it’s one of the weakest MBTs for armour irl. The challengers aren’t.
@@thatonelocalauthority2809 Indeed. I was one of the fortunate lot to see those leaked Challenger classified documents put up on the WT forum before taken down.
As usual the game Devs are kind of way off. Lol
wrong tea amour is best amour the amount of shells I bounce is crazy
Pls make pages of history about the USS Enterprise!
yea i main it and its fun to bully the leopards at 10.0 as the round pens the amour on the turret.
add the F15 Eagle to War Thunder as a official plane plss😭😭😭
please add vapour vorticies in the next update. Also please add the Chinese J-10(and also make a premium version).
A J-10 would be great. A premium version of it however... would be not so great.
To be fair the stock round is very good
FIx chally 2 armor
Guys can you add Regenerative Stear Wheeling? It would really help tanks like the Chally with mobility
Do you remember when chalenger 2 front armour was good? ... me neither
OFL-120 F2 When?
Making a video instead of fixing the issue with the MBTs armor is not a way to appease the community. Video pretty much screams anyone who plays British MBT are getting dogged because the tank is dog when thats not the case. t80 BVMs and other vehciles tank shells better then this and they're worse armored. and when they don't tank the shell. they have a fuel tank eat it. and prevent them from dying.
Good, and now GIVE TES THE ERA PANELS IT DESERVES!!!!!!@!@!11!!!
14 times asking for a normal l3/33 premium with a flamfrower
Not an accurate reflection of the real Challenger then. 🤦
They would be as good at the "leopards and the Leclercs" but sadly gaijin hates britain and intentionally neglects them.
They hate every nation except Russia.
Just look at the centurions. They were used to be 6.7 now 7.7 ~8.0
Yo the LFP has ERA placements
Glass cannon more like, not tracked fortress.
I think Type 10 more suits to glass cannon
@@professorjackal4083 Yeah, but it's most likely built like that, the challenger is not
Can you already repair sounds in this game? Every update its getting worse and worse.
Q: can we see the isu-152 featured in metal beasts?
Yo. Op SUMMER when?
