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.
  +
==Player Recommendations==
  +
The most heavily armed and armored tank in the game, the combination of nearly impenetrable frontal armor, the largest health pool in the game, and a devastating 140mm cannon mean that the ATDU is without a doubt the vehicle most capable of leading an attack through a hellstorm of fire. While slower than most other vehicles, it is by no means sluggish, and can push a flank or spearhead a charge with equal ability.
  +
===Pros and Cons===
  +
====Pros====
  +
* Excellent frontal armor
  +
* High damage 140mm cannon
  +
* Largest health pool of any vehicle in game
  +
* PISH ammunition (Upgraded HESH)
  +
====Cons====
  +
* Long reload
  +
* Poor top speed and acceleration
  +
* Worst accuracy in Tier 10
  +
* Slow turret and hull traverse
  +
* Large driver's view weakspot
  +
=== Upgrade Suggestions ===
  +
Unlocking and buying the Spall liner is a quick way to give the ATDU more effective health, amplifying it's already large health pool even further. Firepower upgrades, while expensive on reputation, give a large bonus to the damage the ATDU can deal to enemies with every 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)
