PSA: Do NOT drive T9 Challenger 2 before next hofix

[Austin5125 2]

..unless you want to get utterly destroyed by machinegun in the front.

This only happens in tier 9 Challenger 2 and other Challys such as tier 10 ATDU or tier 8 Al-Hussein are fine.

I recommend grind other vehicles before next hotfix.

On the other hand, Chally 2 bots are going to be considerably easier to deal with until this gets fixed.

So now the powerful machine gun can pen both the Bradley, but only in the back, and the Chally 2, but only frontally! 

WOW , there is genius in how the game is developed, as i doubt that it is a bug, some one had to set the protection value of that weak spot, the threshold value of penetration needed to don't bounce firing at it...

I..... WUT?

(good thing I finished my chally 2 grind a few weeks ago)

Keep in mind that defender(or protectors? can't remember) challies on Heroic also have this bug, had one down to 100 hp or so and managed to finish it with the machinegun.

VT4 also has a square on the side skirt with 1mm armor.

Just a heads up, the turret ammo racks on Chally 2s are now positively massive.

Rip protectors.

Issue has been resolved with the most recent update (April 23, 2020)

@Haswell perhaps consider archiving this thread?

I think I'll just move it into the bugs section and let it die quietly.

Thanks for the reminder!
