All the Challenger 2s have a mobility bug relating to there turning performance, it really messes with them and makes them feel a lot slower than they should be. My bug report was accepted and passed to the devs not too long ago, hopefully in a few decades it will be fixed

Iron fist is incredibly powerful on big maps where it has time to intercept apfsds

Really wish Gaijin would give the chally back all of the plates they took from the turret, used to be so fun angling the turret and being able to survive any hit

As somebody who has played a lot of top tier tanks the black night is by far my favourite. I think it’s a combination of how it takes a while to get to the battlefield which means it arrives at just the right time and can outreload almost everything

I really hope Britain gets Chally 3 at some point, cause it has a completly new turret (which means better armor) an L55 gun, and dispite it retaining the Chally 2 hull, that means its compatible with its addition armor kits, and some photos appear to have an additional composite screen on the upper front plate. It was also said it would recive APS, and a better engine, and electronics.

Chally 2 breaches are bullet magnets. Even pointing your barrel at a chally 2 and the challies breach turns red.

Love that the best challenger after the 2E and BN is the 10.7 challenger just because it isn’t as heavy.

Justin's the only reason why i didnt quit playing britain honestly now am at top tier with them and i enjoy every bit of it.

The really nice positive the Challengers get is that 5seconds reload from the first stage ammo rack. It almost makes up for the slow speed. If Gaijin increased the ready rack size or reduced the time to refill the ready rack it would be a much more solid plus to the vehicle that would offset the lower shell pen and lower mobility compared to other top tier MBT.

Gaijin won’t give Challys real attributes like proper armour and their best ammo - they’re too good Not to mention Chobham is highly classified (and let it stay that way)

I kinda liked the "sabot loaded" line more than "armour piercing loaded" No idea why that'd change They always kill my small things

You have to try the Chieftan 10/Khalid. Thing, while having a slow reload, can brawl and surprisingly very survivable

Challenger TES Megatron, Black Night and Challenger 2E should have the L28A1 shell

The l27 should go up to 700, a bug report for it was accepted

fun fact the black night ap system blocks the shellss comming from an HSTVL salutations

Still bugs me that the Challengers lack good armor, they are some of the best NATO tank and the fact that this one is called Black Night instead of Black Knight, it has a much nicer ring to it and fits it perfecetly since it's Bri'i'sh oh and don't mind the lack of t cus they drank it, I'll see myself out now.

the challenger 2 how it is implemented in the game is a joke... the APS may be the best, but it often in my experience doesn't work against a lot of the Russian stuff like Vikurs, as any good pilot would just shoot 3 missiles at you and completely negate the APS. on top of that, you are the least manoeuvrable, you have awful armour even with the TES package, you have an awful round in both pen and spawling and its SLOW.. like really slow. there are so many ways they could fix it, but choose not to. the engine is the base one (CV12-6A), not any of the later modifications that they made (CV12-7A, CV12-9A), even the Black Night is suppose to have the 9A engine which it does not have... but yet the Russian vehicles get their most modern even not used engines with upgrades, ie, the T72B3 gets a new engine with its ERA package that is barely in any of the vehicles RL on some reports. the thermal netting on the 2F and TES not working sucks as well. why is it there if it doesn't work? IRL its called barracuda and it reduces the thermal signature. the TES reportingly has a commander thermal, according to Bovington tank museum, which it doesn't have in game. and the TES and 2F should have a jamming station on top of them too, that's what the big plate is for, but it doesn't work. the ammo layout inside the vehicle is completely wrong, and has been reported to the dev's and accepted. They could add the L27a2 export rounds, for additional performance. Ironically, the Challenger 2 E, the export version of the vehicle doesn't have the export rounds. The neutral steering needs fixing too. Its far far too sluggish and makes the vehicle slow down immensely, which is not how it should preform and has been reported to the dev's its not even good at hull down... weak roof, and weak breach area... it just sucks. there are SO many things that need fixing, or could be added but they just don't like the British. Britain ain't the only nation who suffer from it either. look at France and Italy. France still need OFL F2 among other things, the round the Leclerc's are suppose to use because OFL F1 was outdated by the time the Leclerc came into service. Italy need a major buff to their Ariete's too, because right now they are the worst MBT's by far. the Abrams still needs its modern rounds too because the SEP is using the M829a1 which is out of date in comparison to the vehicle. my bias opinion now - I'm almost confident that, they just want to keep Russia at the top of the game at this point. no balance. hell, they want to add the T-90m at some point and the files already have parts for it. But hey, there's only so much they can add for Russia right?..

This tank is fun

On longer range maps it’s an amazing tank, very nice optics for both gunner and commander, the APS gets enough time to intercept darts and the turret armor works prettt well if you just move around a bit and wiggle the turret and I find it to be the most survivable in a hull down position out of all the top tiers because it doesn’t need to deal with blowout panels not working since there’s nothing to explode in the turret itself

I play this line up most of the time because it helps me become a better player mostly.

The best thing they could have done to improve the Chally 2 is to give them proper fucking armour, or at least the closest they have to IRL one for balance reasons. Really, this thing is supposed to be the most armoured nato tank ever, but in the game the only thing with normal armour is the last place anyone is going to shoot that tank. I see people saying that Britain can be saved if gaijin releases Chally 3, but they're not going to do that. The Chally 3 hasn't even gone into production irl yet, and adding such an advanced tank means all the other countries have to get their newest and most expensive vehicles as well (T-14 Armata, Panther KF51, ect), which won't happen for a while. I am convinced that gaijin just hates Britain for personal reasons.

You always play exceptionally well when you play the Chally 2s. Bounced a decent amount of shots with your turret this video.

Still one of the best tank names though.

1 thing good about the challes 2s are that they get apfsds stock

If u play chally 2 right and are half ars at the game its fun and rewarding

I love having 7 Challenger 2s in my line up at top tier. 4 are stripped down mobility tanks for big maps and 3 are the TES type for around town. I have been surprised by the survivability as well as long as I don't get stupid with them.

The stat card says it has 270mm turret front armor but it doesn't. So where does the 270 come from?

Challenger 2 in reality is amongst the best MBTs on the planet. Wish that Gaijin would take note of that

It has no armour in game... I. Real life its one of the most heavily armoured tanks out there

I just got the Black Night and I really like it. If you play it you have to play slower than with the other tanks but if you‘re skilled with it you can make some awesome plays. The Black Night is a cool tank but I’m also happy that I got the T80UM2 in one of the past events. The faster and „Brainless“ playstile is refreshing if you played 100+ hours in slow tanks.

Great vid justin! I would really like to see a rooivalk video :)

You finally played it, I knew you was going to play it after I asked you to revisit it

The round is weak in pen yes but damn that damage is something to make up for the 7 to 8 br sabots

Only in the War Thunder fantasy world does SPAA successfully engage heavy armor. Their job is to shoot down aircraft. So no, they are just targets.

"It's the worse top tier tank" gets 8 kills in the first game...

Challenger 2 best looking MBT

Now that we have multiple 2010s/2020s vehicles in game, I wonder if they'll add the 2021/22 Challenger 3 technology demonstrator, it would be the last hope for a British competitive top tier MBT

Yo, any chance u can take out swedish 10.3 ? really good with strv-121, finnish leo 2a4, cv-ct 105, cv90105, cv9040, lvkv 9040c, AJ-37 for CAS and J-35D for CAP

Hey Justin, do you have any plans for sharing your EQ settings? Love the content, keep it up!

Hold on, why is there a BTR-80 and some 2S1's in the hanger background? Is that a new feature or a bug? 🤔

Bro Briton was my first tier I started at…still grinding after 2 years of taking a break lol

Lmao, your Blacknight luck was crazy haven't seen anyone else bounce that bounce shots. You should have the roolivalt video be #600

The one top tier tank who has proven to be a beast irl is the worst in the game, some reason Gajoobles and the other tonk game hate the Brits.

Wow you are a good player. I want to buy the khalid during the sale to grind the beitish. Iam not a great tank player, but thanks to you I learned to listen to enemy tank engines more and now Iam actually pretty decent, got like 2+ kd with most of tanks, which still isnt great like you, but it is better then before. Iam mainly an airplane player

those 3 hesh shells waiting to be used

Gajin hates the challengers if they were like how they are irl they would be the best armoured tank in game not to mention the shell should have 800mm of pen

Gunna use the 3% for sure

Since when did the BTR 80 and 2s1 feature in the background of hanger? Ive only seen Rooikat MTTD and T-90s

Honestly, I just wish they'd make it so what you just explained wouldn't happen through smokes. Defeats the purpose

The British doctrine in Warthunder is that all of our tanks above 7.0 have weak lower plates, however almost impenetrable turrets. this was why the Chieftain was the best top tier tank back in the day, however gaijin hates Britain and has completely shafted all of our tanks. You can see the pain when a Brit leaked classified documents because of how BS Gaijin has made all of the challengers, when it should be the most armoured, (especially turret) tank in game 😒

Can you do a video about the sho't kal gimel. It seems like a great tank

Why did my paten go up to 11.3 but the ka is still at 11 hmmmmmm I wonder why

u suppose ya revisit the chieftain mk10, a few years have passed by the last video you made on that. I personally think they have gotten better even tho their speed is terrible, tank itself aint bad

Can you Maybe do a Video on the Leo1A5 Aigan Someday?

This thing shouldn't be that good but i've had some really good luck in this tank, could just be because it forces you to play a bit safer but I really enjoy this tank

Just a small question is the birthday discount going to be on Xbox and PlayStation?

Just for you Justin ill use that code thingy

Hey Justin how did you manage to cap your fps at 144?

If im not wrong its an UGCV, so they got it wrong adding crew. No?

Call me crazy but i dont why but the british chall does not realy like to spall from german dm53 " leo 2a6 ammo" i shot a chall from the side or at an angle and they dont realy like to spall

You should play with Estabon!

Idk if GB has the weakest top tier rounds the french ones are a fair bit lighter and have marginally better pen with a slower reload than an aced challenger 2

Good to see Justin playing humble and with respect

Great awesome 😂

black night very good

Ps don't forget the reload

Challies need buffs.

what sound mod do you use?

does it intercept losat missiles?

About the armour... in real life it has "secret" armour and has proved in Ukraine that it is the most protected tank in the world. Also, not to mention... worlds longest confirmed kill? Yeah... world's best tank, period!

Poor lecler, it has the 2nd worst round. Even though it has OFL-120-F2 with 640mm PEN. and even SHARD for SXXI with 670mm PEN....

Why doesn’t Gaijin allow console players the ability to use the content creator discount code?

regardless of meta i think it's the coolest looking mbt.

can they pls add an f 16 premium jet

First and it seems i was right, you indeed did plan a revisit XD

Salve meu parceiro

you should do a vido on the SUB-II-I the 5.3 japanese SPAA. its kinda cracked

with the upcoming sale could anyone tell me if i should buy the t72 turms or 2s38

These are just the most neglected series of tanks and it's really sad. They turn better and perform better (HESH) in real life.

I agree the challengers really has nothing for it at all extremely horrific mobility,Bad pen,0 armor and almost always a oneshot if hit. Like why would you ever pick this vehicle over any other top tier mbt i only play them cause they look cool.

I still don't know how to get the blonde girl decal

W

I dont have any challenger 2 tank, but also dont want them. Gameplay/stats dont really appeal to me ^^

Fatter than a merk, weaker than a bradley Only way to deacribe this tank

am i the only one who notice that they are russian vehicles in the background instead of brithis one?? `

Day 7 of asking Justin to play mid tier in wt

I'd prefer to be in a Challenger then an Ariete just saying....

yummy

Someone had a sip of something good tonight? 🍺;)

The Games best hard kill? 4 Charges, T55 AT 8.3 has 8

cheese

Wierd thing is the chally 2 has some of the best armour in the world yet in game it’s awful

In real life, there armour on the turret is actually over 800mm in thickness i lived in one of these back in my deployment Why do you keep wiffing right as you shootnyou ruin half your own shots

Day 5 if asking Justin fir a set up tour

Giving an appalling tank one gimmic does not make it playable, it doesnt make it redeemable, it doesnt even make it respectable

You had to tell people to shoot centre mass on smoke. Very annoying.

the only tank that is even close to meta is the challenger 2E. other than that, they don't have a ready rack with more than 4 rounds though on the chieftain has a worse ammo rack stowage than the challengers and get 17 shots compared to the stupid 4. which if you compare the two, ammo storages almost in the exact same spot as each other. most challengers have no speed. but this could be because I don't exactly have an Ace crew in one and can't utilize the tank to the fullest. but either way no speed. and the turret armor is nonexistent. there are two little 30mm nose blocks on the front of the turret you can send any round through. and just kill it. I really don't think it was modeled correctly, and I'm sure the armor put there in that 30mm is highly inaccurate and is probably composite. but there are only 3 vehicles that I would roughly say are meta in top tier. leopard 2 PSO, cause armor for days, and its turret is nearly invincible. bvm, because the developers think they are the best thing since sliced cheese, and the Japanese boys because no armor and sabots wont shatter, and a 4 second reload so their 1vX capability is incredible. the only thing that is meta from the British tree is their version of the Apache. I've seen people get 10+ kills with just Star streaks.

I hate how all the German mains switched to USSR, it makes the life of USSR mains miserable. :

Heh heh. Dry for the channel. Just like their humor.

I cringe everytime you pronounce the G-Lynx the way you do
