It's just stupid. I dropped a nuke today, but before I took off I saw on the minimap that the enemy team was already camping my helipad and then came towards me. I wasn't deleted due to sheer luck. They need to remove this early alarm.
@@kave-2278 That only happens in the lower BRs where you can drop a nuke. It happens only if the carrier is a bomber. If the carrier is a strike aircraft, then you spawn on the airfield.
@@kave-2278 Yes, just now on Cargo Port it would keep respawning on the map and just sit there. You could destroy parts of it until it sunk through the ground. It would keep doing this until I spawned the nuke, lol.
is it a meta tank? no but does it look mean? absolutely!! and the engine OOOOOH man the engine sounds soo nice, really made me wanna go back and play some snowrunner
Waiting on Gaijin to model regenerative steering for modern vehicles. Also to actual model torque, not nerf traction (instead just fix maps) and model actual transmissions instead of adding gears (so vehicles such as the Type 10 are faster in game than the Type 90 as they're IRL).
There are two main types of top tier players these days. The noob preem guys with no clue that just go full W til they get spanked. And the other noob preem ones who drive up to the closest cover and stay there til they're camped... Nice time to be alive!
You posted a nice spot on Firing Line the other day in a vid I can't recall, and I just wanted to say that I took my concept there and did better than I ever have on that map before. Obv don't nearly have your aim or reflexes, but I really appreciate you taking the time to show things like that off for us! I've gone from arcade only to being able to mostly pull a positive KD in RB with what I've learned from you, Odd, & Turny. Thanks again! (Now can you teach me how to bomb bc this Small Gift task is impossible)
Type 74 (G) would be good to see, with the uptiering of a lot of 10.3s it’ll be good to see how it handles itself now! 9.3 is a pretty nice BR for a lot of nations now aswell!
I am a skilled based vehicle and no one is going to tell me otherwise....... Gaijin please make my composite something resembling realistic- i dont think the blocks that weigh 100s of kilogrammes each should be less effective than gen 1 soviet era
isn't this the gameplay you sign up for playing challenger tanks in general? they are literally built to be hull down sniping gods. I learned pretty quick its not a meta tank compared to the soviet T series or the leopards. It excels at the more methodical snipe and I can appreciate the tank for it.
The challenger in game is pretty accurate to the challenger in real life, sure the composite armour can never be accurate but all of its… sort comings (and there are a lot) are accurate, cough cough only gunner thermals, 70mm lower plate, 1200hp engine, rifled gun and no proper composite armour around the turret.
gun breech ingame shouldnt be as massive a weakspot as it is, and its forced to fight in situations it was never meant to ie the tiny call of duty maps that this game is full of.
@@Red_Lion2000 no irl it is a massive weak spot as one challenger was blown up in the Kursk region and only the turret remained and the gun beach was one of the least armoured places on the turret.
@@chrisbacon3071no IRL it's not I'm ex British army and worked with a tank regiment on a overseas training ex. The challengers we sent to Ukraine are stripped down they don't not have everything on those for the obvious reason of not letting the Russians see what it is. Challengers power to weight ratio IRL is a lot better due to the Torque we have on them.
It is nice to see someone as good as you gets as frustrated as I do. I won't carry like you - though I have carried - it 's nice to know we all suffer. Brotherhood, and I would allow girls in just in case the thought police are out there because of course they are.
Best 11.7 Challenger used to be the normal Challenger 2, changed ever since the Challenger 3TD is 11.7 however. 3rd best at 11.7 is the Challenger 2F without the dorchester package. The best overall Challenger is the 12.0 Challenger 2E and it's not even close. Sadly I would say 12.0+ Britain is not worth playing because the vehicle options aren't good enough and 12.0 gets uptiered to 12.7 every single game. 11.7 lineups however received plenty of downtiers to 10.7, 11.0 and 11.3 because of the plethora of lineups from other countries that exist at those brackets. Simply put, 11.7 matchmaking is by far the best for top-tier and it's verifiable with statistical uptier/downtier evidence provided and those numbers being further confirmed with in-game experience.
@@civar8231 it needs to stay 12.0 with the 2E unless they drop the 11.7 Challys to 11.3. APS on BK can stop several top tier 120mm and 125mm darts reliably.
I love all my challenger tanks. I like to sit alittle behind and protect points and act like the last line of defence. Gets plenty of kills from charging Russians.
If they just added torque to the challangers like they should have then british tech tree would be so viable. The challanger dominates the Nato tank olympics time and time again its a shame really
@@implicitsky2150 I might not stream until tomorrow tho, hopefully I get my voice back... If you want to know when I go live I recomend joining the discord
worst map in the game with the 'worst' tank and gets nuke, i dunno jon i think it might be the best tank, but irl it really is my fav, the noise of that engine irl is amazing
i think u won that last game simply by spawning the nuke even if u didnt drop it cuz it made the enemy team j out and spawn AA/Planes and lose the entire map
By what means is it slower than a WW2 tank ?Slower than the fastest ww2 tank maybe and only in forward top speed. You're just being hypercriticist. The turret rotation should be twice as fast, just like irl, the armor doesn't work well either.Gaijin just hates Britain...
My voice is gone. The black friday sales are here. I will try to make a video about the black prince and the m18 if I recover in the next few days.
Take a few days off, have nice hot food, stay in bed, watch movies. Get well soon
The black friday sales its same like last years
The nuke sirens goes off everytime someone reaches 2k SP if anyone wonders why the siren goes off everytime. It is a bug.
It's just stupid. I dropped a nuke today, but before I took off I saw on the minimap that the enemy team was already camping my helipad and then came towards me.

Yeah you can usually find the nuke plane prespawned nearish the tank battlefield
@@kave-2278 That only happens in the lower BRs where you can drop a nuke. It happens only if the carrier is a bomber. If the carrier is a strike aircraft, then you spawn on the airfield.
@nandim.artene3315 no I saw it on the ground as soon as the guy hit 2000 sp it wasn't being controlled by anyone, it was just upside down in a field.
@@kave-2278 Yes, just now on Cargo Port it would keep respawning on the map and just sit there. You could destroy parts of it until it sunk through the ground. It would keep doing this until I spawned the nuke, lol.
Jon: Man, it’s a stinky vehicle. I feel sorry for anyone who bought this tank.
Also Jon: I got two nukes.
I played 5 matches with it. I was prepared for the worst lmao
If it were Italian, fantastico!
The esports ready on the half rendered challenger you spawned was absolutely golden
is it a meta tank? no
but does it look mean? absolutely!!
and the engine OOOOOH man the engine sounds soo nice, really made me wanna go back and play some snowrunner
Haha Engine go vroom
I have no idea how they make v12 sounds that good lol
Only appeal

Honestly, never enjoyed top tier more then right now. Don't know why
@@vadimivanov3627 Don't ask why, just enjoy it!

Yeah, its a nice tank, Even though I've never played it. I was disappointed to see that the Type 16 FPS didnt get the discount in the recent sales, 😔
That map hasn't come up in my rotation for many months ... I'd forgotten it was there.
"This thing is pretty bad [...] we got a couple of nukes"
I bought this tank, and honestly I pretty enjoy it, but I don't always do great in it either😅
I am a skilled based vehicle and no one is going to tell me otherwise.......
Gaijin please make my composite something resembling realistic- i dont think the blocks that weigh 100s of kilogrammes each should be less effective than gen 1 soviet era
Am i the only human that likes this vehycle and Italy?
Nope, I favor both nations.Still don't get why Italy getting that much hate.Britain suffers a lot most of the time, but Italy is just a fun nation.
Na bro I got this vehicle as well and I like it
Italy and britissh in my opinion are the best nations. Is not the tank, is the tanker
I love the challengers too, sure they aren't meta but they are very capable when you play to their strengths
@@markjackson7650 hull down and Wiggle turret and you are a bunker
Jon you know the challenger 3 is at 11.7 too

@@chrisbacon3071 Ah, seems like solid evidence.
Maybe if the maps werent designed for CoD gameplay it would do ok.

Tea time with Jon! Edit: Red desert nuke was the saddest nuke i have ever seen.
Jon can make any tank good.
Now if I would play that it would be a totally different experience :0
Really enjoy the content Jon.
At least it looks cool... Tbh I REALLY enjoy UK top tier, seems to fit my playstyle.
Even in hulldown it is a repair simulator.
It is nice to see someone as good as you gets as frustrated as I do. I won't carry like you - though I have carried - it 's nice to know we all suffer. Brotherhood, and I would allow girls in just in case the thought police are out there because of course they are.

Do you think Black Night should be moved to 11.7, or the APS it bears is as valuable of an improvement as the much better engine of 2E?
@@civar8231 it needs to stay 12.0 with the 2E unless they drop the 11.7 Challys to 11.3. APS on BK can stop several top tier 120mm and 125mm darts reliably.
I forgot all about red desert!
UA-camrs: This thing is awful and no one should play it
Also youtubers: 15 kills nuke
you can always buy it (use my link) try it and come back and give me the reason :)
For pve assault mode this thing is an beast!
I love all my challenger tanks. I like to sit alittle behind and protect points and act like the last line of defence. Gets plenty of kills from charging Russians.
I’m sorry but this thing in downteirs hull down is insane, the spall liners make getting hit feel like absolutely nothing
Hey Jon when OF drop?
If they just added torque to the challangers like they should have then british tech tree would be so viable. The challanger dominates the Nato tank olympics time and time again its a shame really
tf you're yapping, the Leo 2 sweeps the competition every year.
us mains complaining about the abrams. while the challys are the most unbalanced top tier tanks.
Justice for the Challenger 2 family

Hey John can you please play the M163? (Day 24) Love your videos ❤
i have it and in my opinion the only bad thing of this tank is the speed😢
I love this tank😢 i played it for fun on my buddys acc and oh man it was awesome
Yes challanger os ❤

Try the TES stock bro. its a horrible experience.
idk brajon
god tier premium imo
The first 😂
its slower than ww 2 tanks its horrid
