The Challenger 2 ATDU is a Tier 10 Main Battle Tank originating from the United Kingdom, and is sold by Marat Shishkin. It can be unlocked with a tier 10 Unlock Token, and is the end of the Western European MBT tree.

Features

• 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

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

Pros

• Incredible frontal armor, extremely hard to penetrate from the front
• High damage 140mm cannon
• Very large health pool
• PISH ammunition is quite devastating

Cons

• 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

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

• Improved Gun Breech
• Improved Pioneer Tool Kit
• Improved Filter Systems
• Air Induction Precleaner Lvl. 2
• Advanced Muzzle Reference System

Commander and Crew Skill Suggestions

• 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.
