Absolutely love the roar of Chally 2's diesel engines.

I remember in my early 3CB days on public playing Steel Panther we managed to flip the Challenger.

Two Javelins, multiple satchel charges and demo blocks didn't do anything.

In fact come to think of it I saw more Challengers flipped (two) than I ever saw destroyed by enemy fire (zero).

Interestingly it was vulnerable to ATGM fire from helicopters (Hinds or Hokum etc) but that's about it. 10 shots placed on target using Russian APSFDS equivalent.... No effect

Tried it out a couple days ago, and it's not that indestructible now. 4-5 rounds of T-90A 2006 obj AP rounds will kill the Chally 2, the gun can be easily knocked out, and a single shot to the rear side armour of the tank will destroy the vic at times. Which makes sense realistically, considering how tough the tank is with that Dorchester\Chobham.

Edit: Also to add, the quality of the texture on Burnes' Challenger 2's is pretty bad, or at least the latest I downloaded and tried out. Paint seems dull and like paste, and the interior isn't textured. Luckily, the AGM requirement has been removed.

Really a damn shame that Burnes' lost his modding file for this tank, loved it when it initially came out.

Yup the listed screenshots are screens from before v12. v11 had netting and webbing around the desert varient, and v10 had the winter, olive drab, forest, desert and the arid pattern one.

v12 only has desert and forest, and both textures are flat and with a single colour, without the option to change the exterior flag from Union flag and St Andrews Cross.

That one lad from Essex.

Well, on this page, the texture looks way much better ...

I'm pretty sure that's been photoshopped.

The textures were far from finished.
