CHALLENGER 2 Megatron - In Action - Challenger 2 MTB (Abrams M1 - Leopard 2 - Tanks in action)

[@ooozingsauuce2657]

The battle-proven Challenger 2 has incomparable stats: Longest Tank2Tank Killshot, Destroyed 8 Iraqi tanks in 50 seconds. Without tracks a Challenger 2 was stranded and hit by 30rpg and a milan anti-tank missile from point blank until rescued - it was in service again later that day! Another incident 70+ rpgs with only sighting needing adjustments. The Challenger 2 hasn't suffered a single loss to enemy fire. Although much more were deployed, around 25 M1 Abrams were destroyed outright, 500+ were withdrawn from service. 10 Turkish Leopard 2's were suprisingly destroyed in Syria recently. The Challenger 2s record in large scale combat is unique. Megatron you are ;)

[@alexandrosgrivas4406]

the thing is those 25 abrams werent manned by american crews but from syrian etc and the tanks where export versions with less armor and the turkish leopards where fighting in a very hilly area making it easy to get flanked and side shotted a side shot from any rpg will destroy a modern tank no matter what

[@basswarnow]

Turkey uses outdated Leopard 2 A4s without the added armor protection to the turret and the sides of the A5 variant. Take a look at the newest Leopard 2 A7V. It uses additional armor to protect from ballistic and chemical munitions and also comes with an Active Protection System.

[@jonny2954]

Quoting user Bigcats30 (he was there) on reddit: "The two who survived were asleep on the back decks of the tank and were blown off by the explosion. One was seriously injured. He is disfigured but very much alive today. The two inside (the tank was on overwatch) one being the driver (sat in the gunners seat) and the commander.....were killed instantly by the explosion cause by the HESH round landing through the commanders hatch and striking the bag charge bins inside the turret(Use Brits use two piece ammunition as you can fit more in).........The driver was never found and was just ash once the tank stopped burning. The commander was blown from the turret and was found some distance from the vehicle.....he was headless The explosion as you can see blew the turret off onto the back decks of the tank........it then burnt for days." i.imgur.com/5dBR4h4.jpg Unlike most other NATO MBTs the Challenger 2 has no seperate ammunition compartments with blow-out panels, the ammunition is stored around the crew in the turret and below the turret ring.

Empriction no its not. T14 has shit turret armour and is light af. Trash tank

[@cblue3]

@@METan-fw2cg The T14 will probably do well in the export market if Russia can ever figure out how to make them properly due to it's relatively low price tag. It's no doubt a capable tank with a great gun but as other have pointed out, even using the numbers provided to us by the manufacturer (questionable reliability) the armor is quite poor on paper. I also find it strange the manufacturer would be allowed to release so much information on the T14 when most nations keep the specs of their MBTs secret; it really smells like propaganda to me. I'm withholding judgement until we get reliable information from a western source.

[@sshep86]

Am I right saying that this MBT is the lacking engine power when compared to same weight/same gen MBT?

[@ClumsyProto]

really late response but yes, the challenger 2 is lacking in engine power as it currently is, even more considering that the OES package (the most armored addon armor package available, that looks rly close to whats being shown here) makes it into a 75 ton beast while only having a 1200hp engine, though the engine does have good torque it struggles with accelerating like other mbts on the same weight class (like the abrams sep v3 with 70+ tons), the challenger 3 tank does tackle this issue with a new engine fuel, cooling and transmission systems that are capable and rated at 1500hp (the standard mbt power nowadays), while also tackling the issue with the 120mm (now turned into the 120mm L/55 from Rheinmetall and such), will still be a pretty hefty vehicle but will be a nice upgrade nonetheless.

A&A Britten ..... but enough about the Abrams.

[@biasedsherman]

You can't simply compare the Chally and Abrams. They have completely different roles. The Challenger was made to sit a few clicks back and pick off targets from distance. The Abrams has brute force. Made to go in, do as much damage as possible and quickly get out. In my opinion I would rather have an Abrams, because of its speed and armour. But the Challenger is a formidable MBT.

[@EVDriver1990]

@@biasedsherman Armour ? the challenger 2 is better armoured than the Abrams?

[@thewomble1509]

Top speed on roads? 45mph. Height? less than a Leo2, thermal signature? way lower than a jet engined M1, No modern western MBT is multi fuelled, Tested in Iraq (twice). The M1 , Leclerc, and Ariete cannot "swim". The Leo can ford deep water after a conning tower has been fitted but is not truly amphibious. Keep trying noob.
