      Note Phly, there is no confirmation outside of Gaijin's own statements. And the individual in question has provided enormous amounts of info on the CR2 before over years of time without incident. They also clearly have the kind of access to the vehicle you'd expect of a tank commander.
      Personally i suspect bureaucratic fuckup rather than Gaijin doing anything sus. This individual has indicated in the past that anything they post has to go past the censors at the base he serves on. Most likely either whoever Gaijin contacted hadn't received the paperwork, or the local base censors exceeded their authority in clearing it.
      Also UKDJ may be big in the defence world, but somthing like this would have hit national news over here. It hasn't. That should tell you the kind of response professional journalists got when they inquired.

However, he might have posted more than just the information showing the gap distance. I haven't seen what he posted so there could be more sensitive (and just more) information.

      For what it's worth, I've found OPSEC Nazis are wrong most of the time when it comes to the safety and legality of open-sourced intel. But this is different and appears to be a smoking gun case. If it's confirmed he forged declassification stamps on a classified document in order to make it seem open-source (so he could use it as leverage against a Russian video game company), then he's in serious trouble for both fraud and mishandling of classified material, end of story.
      Even if he successfully self-redacted it to the point where no actual classified material remained, changing the stamps and knowingly releasing it in that state is still an open-and-shut criminal case.

    For clarification, Gaijin not only CANT use the information from that leaked manual page, they now must deliberately AVOID using relatively similar stats in order to avoid any potential accusations of disseminating classified documents. The guy had and shared the exactly accurate info that proved the Challenger was underpowered, but that info is now completely unusable until the challenger series of tanks are retired. That's likely never happening in WT's lifetime since the Challenger 3 was just introduced to the British military.

The only way APDS wouls be useful is if you have a lot of strong frontal armor to bounce shells and take the time to pick off crew. Else you have to flank. And at that point APHE is far better.

    No, I believe I was watching a video from The Tank Museum's channel and they were talking about why they still used rifled barrels over most countries choosing smooth bore.
    Their HESH preforms better with the rifled barrel, BUT they also use two piece-munitions. The warhead and a backing charge, unlike the US that uses a singular casing for both the warhead and charge.
    So technically if ammo in the turret gets hit it wouldn't detonate(or have less to detonate) because the charges are kept in the hull or somewhere lower than the actual warheads.
    I'm not sure if it was in reference to the Chieftan or the Challenger series of tanks, but I explicitly remember them talking about the ammo storage being in two separate areas, and it came down to the rounds they used and their preference for a rifled barrel.
    Feel free to correct me, but I believe it was The Chieftan(the person not the tank) talking about it when he was doing his favorite tanks or the run down of the actual Chieftan tank - and he went on a tangent about the ammo and everything.

    For those wondering. The gun shield that's 30mm in game should be 200mm. The whole gun mantle mechanism is around 700mm in line of sight thickness but the actual armour protection is not as high as that because its mostly mechanical. There is also no Dorchester armour in the mantle. Were probably looking at 500mm RHA for the mantle.
