Features[edit | edit source]
- Heavy armor : this vehicle's armor bounces more shots and takes more hits
- High caliber : the high caliber weaponry deals an increased damage
- HESH: can even penetrate armor with large hit angles
- PISH Ammo : HESH ammo that can penetrate thin applique
- Adjustable suspension: allows you to adjust ground clearance manually
- Dynamic Suspension : allow you to adjust frontal and rear clearance independently
Player Recommendations[edit | edit source]
The most heavily armed and armored tank in the game, with nearly impenetrable frontal armor, one of the largest health pool in the game, and a devastating 140mm cannon, the ATDU is most capable of leading an attack through fire. While slower than most other vehicles, it is by no means sluggish, and can equally push a flank or spearhead a charge.
Pros and Cons[edit | edit source]
Pros[edit | edit source]
- Incredible frontal armor, extremely hard to penetrate from the front
- High damage 140mm cannon
- Very large health pool
- PISH ammunition is quite devastating
Cons[edit | edit source]
- Long reload
- Poor top speed and acceleration
- Worst accuracy in Tier 10
- Slow turret and hull traverse
- Driver's view port can be penetrated by 800mm penetration
Upgrade Suggestions[edit | edit source]
Unlocking and buying the Spall liner is a quick way to effectively increase its already large health pool. Firepower upgrades, while expensive on reputation, give a large bonus to the damage per shot, and the 140mm Prototype PISH ammunition can devastate lightly armored enemies.
Retrofit Suggestions[edit | edit source]
- Improved Gun Breech
- Improved Pioneer Tool Kit
- Improved Filter Systems
- Air Induction Precleaner Lvl. 2
- Advanced Muzzle Reference System
Commander and Crew Skill Suggestions[edit | edit source]
- Commander: Freja Højbjerg for off-road acceleration bonus, increased turret traverse and aim-time.
- Driver: Off-Road Driving, Spin to Win
- Gunner: Quick Draw, Sharpshooter
- Loader: No-skill (Auto-Loader)

The Challenger 2 ADTU retains the suspended uranium nuggets along the frontal arc, with all-around strong protection against HEAT and kinetic penetrators. The extended turret of the larger gun retains the same defensive properties of the standard vehicle. |
