🇬🇧 Great Sounding Challenger 2 Tank Called Megatron.

Wow! what a beast, Megatron the Challenger 2 tank sounded and looked awesome, at Tankfest this year, it upstaged Tiger 131 for once.

[@Mister_Kourkoutas]

*ALL HAIL MEGATRON!!*

[@anticrash2593]

I Wish megatron will transform into this tank in new Transformers movie

[@forickgrimaldus8301]

I guess that makes Soundwave a Command Truck while Starscream the new F 35

[@PunishSlave]

Hail

[@waynester71]

My neighbours complain about my TVR being noisy.. the bastards should be grateful I don't get one of these!!

[@navnig]

Haha! How hard is it to get spares for a TVR these days?

[@navnig]

I'm asking because I spotted a Tuscan up in the North of Scotland, not far from me for sale but it needs work done...

[@Jhonfryet867]

navnig Depends on who you know for instance my dads got a tvr and we live near a tvr specialist garage so parts for him are easy to get as he can just ask the mechanic who runs the garage to find them. However if you do not have that privilege I can imagine locating some parts would be quite hard

[@waynester71]

SNP Alba forever Funnily enough, there was a divorce involved some years back lol TVR now gone though, and a Mk2 RS has taken its place.. not quite as shouty as the TVR ;)

[@waynester71]

SNP Alba forever Mk 2 Focus RS.. bright green lol Yeah same mate & also remarried now, except she’s Spanish, and fortunately also ok with the car.. Had a few bikes too mate, got a Fireblade for when I’m in the mood.. 👍🏼 Only ever owned one French car, a Peugeot 309 that broke down every other day lol

[@ArtietheArchon]

for a tank that is considered to be underpowered on paper, I am always impressed by the challenger 2's acceleration overall agility

[@gtaclevelandcity]

+Jadervason There are plenty that are better.

[@ArtietheArchon]

+gtaclevelandcity what is your point

[@gtaclevelandcity]

Jadervason I am pointing out that most other tanks are faster and more agile.

[@ArtietheArchon]

+gtaclevelandcity are those other tanks considered underpowered

[@gtaclevelandcity]

Jadervason I doubt that an Abrams, Leo 2, T90, K2 Black Panther, etc are considered underpowered.

[@CobraEmergency]

Megatron's almighty sound!

[@Wonkabar007]

Loving the sound of that Perkins 26.6 ltr CV12 Diesel engine.

[@justthatguy85]

Exactly, don't start the whole ''this tank is better than that'' discussion again. Simply enjoy the sheer power of these machines, both Challenger and Leopard are awesome to see and hear!

[@challenger2megatron]

Im loving the complements round here

[@fishnchips5826]

holy shit i love this tank. best looking tank in my opinion

[@tamar4067]

The world shares your opinion

[@TamamoF0X]

Main reason I like the looks of the Chally 2 TES is because of all of the ERA and slat armour plastered all over it. Way prefer the looks of these kind of armour solution rather than Hardkill Active Protecting Systems like the trophy system installed on tanks like the Merkava.

[@CMKeeenT]

Beautiful tank with great engine sound

[@thewomble1509]

@Steveness stiffler C2 wasn't designed to sneak up ans surprise the enemy. It was designed to sit on the North German Plain and pick off Soviet armour from long distance, then move to another firing position and do the same again. added to which, it's not excessively smokey or noisy, especially in the middle of WW3!

[@lukegodden1529]

@Steveness stiffler Compared to that whiney turbine on the Abrams it's very quiet

[@ianmangham4570]

​@@thewomble1509The Russians would have used FrogFoot and the Kedge

[@Redstorm1554]

I want me a Megatron.

[@Wonkabar007]

I remember a chally2 display a few years ago at the old style tank arena, the tank turret rotated and the end of the gun barrel wizzed over the heads of the crowd, people ducked, I wish I had got it on video :)

[@Rockinroyston57]

Great vid - that shows how it should be done, we want to HEAR the machine as well as see it! Too often TV shows fail to grasp this point - esp now we have 5.1 HiFi stereo...Tanks!

[@Wonkabar007]

Thanks for the info, it is an impressive set of aerials.

[@cyrilhansell7365]

good to see we are able to build good tanks.

[@MrArdhn]

One word: pure clas..

[@killer30k]

+yokkk varrr That's two words.

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

Yeah wait a minute that’s 2 words. You missed an S of Class as well.

[@vickyhardwicke2005]

best tank ever

[@thewomble1509]

Yeah, right. The Armata isn't even an MBT, it's a base vehicle which can be configured in different ways. The Merkava is just plain old. I'm guessing you are about 15 years old and don't know what the word research means.

[@Retrosicotte]

See, this is what we need more of. A little friendly elbow bumping and casual rivalry with very much tongue in cheek. Not leaping on arguements. Good stuff. :p

[@danburke551]

Best armour in the world. May not be as agile as a T-90 or have a Rheinmetall gun, but after its taken all that you can throw at it, and it gets within lethal kinetic range of that Royal Ordnance 120mm , you are fucked

[@Mattyboyzie]

the challenger 2 CLIP does have the rheinmetall gun now

[@peterpanhead2888]

Matty Boyzie Sorry matty but it doesn't, it still has the l30a1 rifled gun and thats the way it'll stay. look it up.

[@catlee8064]

Tele Player its 3 piece ammo mate....you are forgetting the vent tube!

[@catlee8064]

Tele Player Yep the loader only has to handle 2 pieces, but without the 3rd it doesnt go boom !

[@abacs21]

+MrGoodkat Only advantage being the ammo storage? How about significantly higher muzzle velocity for KE weapons since, you know, it's a smoothbore?

[@TorontoChannel]

awesome video of this beast :D

[@michaelabuck4810]

Wow beautiful

[@emmanuelperez9490]

That diesel is pure therapy for my ears

[@spongyjakester]

Despite the fact that they look very similar, I always think that the Challenger looks so much more formidable than an Abrams

[@lukegodden1529]

@Steveness stiffler You're right, but the Challenger is also just plain better

[@supercarguy547]

@@lukegodden1529 at what? Fire control systems? Mobility? Armour? Logistics? Production amounts? Firepower? So far the challenger is behind on every single thing mentioned

[@supercarguy547]

@@lukegodden1529 don’t even get me started on how the 1500hp gas turbine engine is substantially more reliable to operate than the v12 turbo diesel on this

[@lukegodden1529]

@@supercarguy547 Firstly, production amounts has nothing to do with how good a tank is... Secondly, I'll give you mobility, challenger is very heavy with the TES on but I will simply not accept, fire control systems or armour. The challenger is second to none and it has proved itself in action. Not one challenger 2 has ever been knocked out in action before, the only incident involved another chally during training. With regards to the engine, although the gas turbine might prove to be more reliable, in the event of some kind of damage or work having to be done on the battlefield, the diesel is a much simpler and easier to fix engine. Not to mention the sheer loudness of the Abrams, you can hear it coming from miles away.

The 2NG is just a modernised 2A4, y'know? Plus, there is no way anyone can say what kills what. 2A7+ and CR2:SR stats, numbers and capabilities are intensely secret. There is no way to say for sure either way. tl;dr - Just enjoy the cool tanks.

That's an IED Jammer, not a command broadcaster. All Challengers have them now in theatre.
