Challenger 2 Actually SUCKS! The Most Overrated Tank

Receive a Unique Starter Pack, available only for the next 30 days!

Challenger 2 is a tank that has been met with a lot of praise and a lot of ridicule, and after its debut in Ukraine, the tank has been getting more attention than ever before. But ever since then, a lot of misconceptions have started appearing, or rather, reappearing, myths that we were hearing years ago about Challenger 2 started appearing again, especially in the media, especially British media. But I am here to tell you that Challenger 2 is actually overrated, and a lot of things you thought were good about it, actually aren’t...

You're telling me, my government spent alot of money on seriously out of date equipment and then proceeded to double down on it. I was so shocked I almost dropped my L85 A3

British development cycle:

Develop thing -> let the Germans fix it later

[waifuracer]

The reason why the turret was dislodged is because the tea-rack was hit, and the Challenger has felt so devastated it just self destructed

[exharkhun]

The Brits knew this. There's been about 5 upgrade programs over the last 20 years that have been cancelled. They knew they needed a new gun which would have single piece ammunition. But both the hull and the turret were designed only with space for the seperated parts of the munition.

Any upgrade would require redesigning both hull and turret. So in the end they'd always concluded that a completely new design would probably cost the same. So they got stuck in a loop:

1. An upgrade is expensive. Maybe we need a new tank.
2. Will tanks still be needed in the future? Does a new one make sense?
3. If we're not sure, shouldn't we just buy Abrams or Leopard, just for the short term?
4. But those are expensive too, so maybe just a cheaper short term upgrade for Chally.
5. But the main problem is the gun, so the upgrade will always be significantly expensive. So back to 1.

Bro done launched counteroffensive on LAZERPIG

Damn redeffect sounds pissed as hell in this video.
I bet he argued with someone SO DUMB defending the challenger 2 that he was angry enough to make a video

[not_batman]

I can already hear lazerpig screaming.

[therealergo]

Pig: List all good things about tank, say it's amazing.
Red: List all bad things about tank, say it's awful.
TM-62 AT mine: Still doesn't care if you're the latest Panther or a T-34

[CatOfCulture]

"That clearly looks like a T72"

"Yes I fly the A10, how did you know?"

[johnynuke]

The longest kill argument makes no sense, with that logic the 2nd most accurate gun is the 128mm kwk44 because the jagdtiger has the 2nd longest recorded kill

[davidmiller]

Lazerpigs gonna be reporting Red for his emotional damage.

[benjaminkoch]

To the fanboys: critisism is good. Its better to fix problems than to deny them. It won't perform better if you just say it does

[sert]

But it stopped 80000 rpg shots and only took emotional damage.

[p_filippouz]

Lazerpig is gonna have an aneurysm lmao

[aksmex]

People roasting lazerpig so hard that bacon might become halal.

[ZhaoYun]

I think the long and the short of it is that NATO forces can destroy or knockout Russian tanks, and Russian forces can destroy or knockout NATO tanks.

[fisheyefilms]

Oh oh. Lazerpig gonna get rattled today.

[flectz]

how the hell did people actually believe the 70+ rpg hit myth at face value? just hearing about it raises doubts. how did the enemy have enough time to fire over 70 rockets at one target without being suppressed or driven off? how did they have that much ammo? why would they even shoot a single tank that many times in the first place? it just sounds ridiculous

[danpan]

"turret still is attached to its hull " .... are they saying this while shitting in their own pants?
