??? Isn't the challenger a Tank from the early 90s? Why would its blueprints be some closely guarded secret? Armor composition isn't a big deal anymore, because active kill systems are the primary means of defense in 2021, so some blueprints from the 90s that dont even feature chobham bricks aren't going to be useful to any foriegn agent.

??? Long time ago anon on /k/ analyzed Challenger 2 frontal armor penetration by RPG-29, and with help of scale model he deduced that lower frontal plate is actually like 80-100mm and huge chunk of ERA on top of it. So don't expect blueprints because for a western Tank such "armor" is shameful as fuck.

??? He measured distance from driver's hatch to front plate and there is simply no possibility of something like Abrams huge amor chunk being there, even if the model is wildly inaccurate. They put thin plate in front and used ERA to achieve that 1 meter RHA equivalent that MBT supposed to have. Challenger 2 has no amror.

??? Some idiot from the REME posted that page from the Challenger 2 AESP on War Thunder's developer forum as part of a bug report about how the Tank is modelled/animated in that video game.
??? He claimed falsely to be a Tank commander to add weight to his "expertise" and edited the page of the AESP to say it was "unclassified" [sic] when in reality the document is still restricted, again to add authority. Game devs realised his claims were full of _ and he was posting stuff anybody with two braincells to rub together (not a requirement to join the REME) would realise is a breach of OPSEC and likely to land anybody possessing it, in trouble.

??? The mantlet is hollow you idiot and you can clearly see from the schematic that there is literally no composite protecting the breach area. The retarded soon-to-be former Tank commander also embellished the scale on the schematic. All dimensional figures are added by him, and the chally 2 coax barrel isn't a meter long.

??? Also if you haven't already bind your W and S keys to the elevator to turn faster in a vertical rather than mouse aiming. And if you rebind your flaps you can use landing/take off flaps to get hilarious turn times in planes that shouldn't turn that well (the ki61 hein). The only negative is make sure you don't rip your flaps off

??? Oh yeah the at-best ~250mm of Rha. Yeah sure, there's probably a bit more effectively there than what shows up in WT. But what's missing isn't anywhere near strong enough to stop any modern '120/'125 kinetic or chemical round. I mean even '105 kinetic should have no problem punching through.

??? Fact of the matter is you're not going to find the additional ~250mm worth of additional protection to slap on top of what WT already guesstimated to make any meaningful difference whatsoever.

??? No, it would be declassified from restricted to unclassified.

??? Also, sure the dude should be busted for posting a restricted doc, but it's not exactly the end of the world.

??? The mantle is not RHA though. It has ceramic plated steel panels. And the LOS effective armour on the breach and mantle is over 700mm where in WT it is 150-200mm lol.

??? In the Tank trials as well the British government never attempted to send in their best crews or even train for Tank trials which 100% effects results.

??? Fitting composit armors into small volumes is not easy. And Challengers doesn't use ceramic armor it uses NERA armor which is 0.5 of RHA kintec resistance at best.
??? So mantle effective LOS is 100-200mm RHA and most probably it is just steel.
