A new modification of the best British tank - the Challenger 2 with explosive reactive armour blocks along the sides of the hull - a cool addition to Britain's top setup!
Challenger 2 TES, main battle tank, Britain. VII rank.
Features:
- Effective protection on the hull sides
- Good defense of the turret
- Mediocre dynamics
A modification of the British Challenger 2 main battle tank with Dorchester Level 2 armour set has been used by the British Army in the operation in Iraq since 2002. At the end of 2004, these tanks were additionally equipped with combined turret side shields, as well as grilles covering rear parts of the hull and turret for protection against shape-charged anti-tank weapons - this configuration received the designation Dorchester Level 2F (DL2F). The next modernization, also aimed at improving the protection, took place in 2008. The tanks received hull skirts made of combined armour, NERA blocks on the hull sides were replaced with ERA containers manufactured by the Israeli company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Limited. This variant of the Challenger 2 was designated TES (Theatre Entry Standard).
Challenger 2 TES is a welcome guest in Britain's top setup in War Thunder. The good Challenger 2 (2F) previously had no choice but to enter battles together with the basic version of the Challenger 2, which was poorly protected against shape-charged rounds. Challenger 2 TES with explosive reactive armour packs makes the tank’s hull sides almost invulnerable to chemical rounds with one stage detonation (not tandem) - under the mounted ERA blocks there is an area of spaced armour, behind which is a side shield made of composite material. Thus, the top British setup will now look something like this: two well-protected Challenger 2’s, an excellent ADATS anti-aircraft gun, and a light reconnaissance/anti-tank vehicle, such as the Rooikat 105 or the Ratel.
The performance characteristics of the Challenger 2 TES remained the same as on the Dorchester 2F version - a convenient sight, gun stabilizer, gunner thermal imager, good turret protection. The L27A1 APFSDS round remains the best choice from available shells, which offers high armour penetration rates and excellent flatness. The disadvantages of the second series of “Challenger” also remains on the new version of the tank. Firstly, the maximum speed is mediocre, in comparison with the MBT of other countries. The armour in the TES version has become even heavier, so the overall dynamics of the tank is even lower than the 2F version. Secondly, the malicious vulnerable zone in the frontal projection: from under the turret ring to the sides of the gun mantlet. Please mind to cover the hull, if possible.
Challenger 2 TES will appear in British ground vehicle hangars with the release of the upcoming major update. As usual, we will tell you about the most interesting new units and features of the patch in our Development Diaries - stay tuned!

Tank only mode when?
when dynamic BR affected by modifications?? gun-mobilty-survivability-parts FPE.. when a mod making that tank that tank has been researched, BR is setting up its BR.. and bla bla.. im not the one who getting money.
Net camo? Is it going to be a modification, or is it stock and does it have any effect on thermal devices?
Same as 2F. It will be modification yet it won't work
There was a video on YouTube with lot of views.. chally 2 beating Leclerc in a drag race lol.. And gaijin comes up with "mediocre dynamics".. I really don't know what degree of realism and historical accuracy to expect from gaijin anymore.. https://youtu.be/WGF-hlcHzbI
Once again, if you look correctly this was a cold start, tha chally is a diesel but the Leclerc is a semi turbine semi diesel. You can find another video where the Leclerc crush the chally because it's not a cold start ...
More of the same will do nothing for British top tier, this modification will be worse than the 2F just like how the 2F is worse than the standard 2. Stop pretending British top tier is competitive and either fix the Challenger's problems or reduce the BRs where they can actually perform.
Where is my Abroomz T-72A7V+???
NO ussr dont need more top mbt's at this moment xD
larf3o, nor america for that matter. this is the extra one britain needed to on par with no. of vehicles other nations have at top tier. please stop here and add more lower/ mid tier stuff thats fun to play. or even better a new gamemode for ground rb that isn't capture a flag
Nice
So Suave
French MBT or IFV soon?
Best. First. Devblog. In. War. Thunder.'s. History. I HAVE A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS UPDATE YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH!
id be happier to see a Covenanter or a Churchill Mk II tank instead. and hopefully more vehicle customization such as skirt selection, additional machine guns, or maybe even more decorations to make it look a bit more real
Pointless addition TBH I would be thrilled to see Type99A for China and Type 10 for Japan. Also the Type99 series and Tunguska have incorrect optics modeled even though there is a pending request to fix them for ages.
