Armored Warfare - Challenger! 

"Survivability onion", if you've seen Shrek you should know how it works.

Omg, that bloody modern tank game again?

I sense a disturbance in the force. (Eyes open up, fully alert, and checks for a Jingles video.)

just as an example of how good the armour is on the challenger 2 which is just a slightly updated version of the same armour, a few years ago a division of challenger 2s came under fire and a single tank took about 30 direct hits from RPG's and 17 direct hits from antitank rockets upon which it rolled over onto its turret the rest of the tanks sat next to it and focused its light weapon fire (machine guns) onto its arse and kept fire on it to stop insurgents from climbing on top and setting fires to cook the crew, after the tank got recovered into the workshop all that was found to be damaged on it was the sighting units (from when it rolled on top of them) 3 hours in the workshop to replace the sights and it was back in service

Chally 1, such a good lookin' tank

Drooling..... I need to get this tank ASAP!!

Depleted Uranium is also an extremely effective kinetic penetrator jacket not just because of its density, but because it shears under pressure which helps to maintain the penetrating tip shape of the round, and also because it's pyrophoric, as in it combusts in air. So when your DU-tipped penetrator clears the armor hull, any splinters and debris formed by the abrasive action of shearing through the armor burn inside the vehicle. It's like a giant self-sharpening self-igniting tank harpoon.

Fun fact SRJ, Kosovo 1999. Challenger 2 got stuck in mud, and British soldiers couldn't get it out so they asked for help from Serbian soldiers. Vehicle that got them out on solid ground was Serbian t55 tank.

About the T-64s, the Soviets never Sold T-64 MBTs as export, they only got used in Soviet Nations like Ukriane where they are still used today apart from that no export, in the end the Iraki army was using T-54/55, T-62, T-72 and some chinese derivitives like the Type 59

Revolutionary hydro-gas suspension? that would be the Austin Allegro then, but the armour wasn't great on that.

I could listen to you talk about literally anything for any length of time Jingles, but as I've said before do please use the time to continue teaching us. Videos like this one are absolutely fascinating, and continue to be the best you put out in my mind. It's what I subbed for, despite having stayed for the absolute pants-on-head hilarity. xD

Loved all the history Jingles. Thanks very much for the effort that went into putting this episode together.

The exp needed from the Cheiftan mk5 to Challenger 1 and the exp needed for the XM1 is the same last I checked

Hang on, isn't the Challenger I one of the easiest tier VIIs to unlock, because it only costs as much XP as a tier VI while having a standard price?

This video is genuinely my favorite video of yours I've ever watched. Not even bothered with the game-play. The history, logistics and general way you went about making the video were top notch. Good stuff man, keep at it!

I absolutely love the information you provided here! I've listened for fun, and educational value. Very impressive Mr. Jingles!

Uh... Actually Jingles, the T-64 was never used by the Iraqi forces.

Jingles, can I ask a quick favour.is it possible to get the sources on what you say here? doing a bit of personal research as part of an argument with friends

Easily one of the greatest videos he's ever made. I could watch this 20 times in a row and not get bored.

I love how you're videos are entertaining and educational. You sure can tell a story well.

Really hope Armored Warfare can catch on and get as big as World of Tanks

Jiiingels, thats 3 videos in a row with no WORLDofTANKITANKS! Comon, next one is going to be a Jagdpanzer E 100 super funny video, please!

I love the exposition and history in your videos. Thanks!

This has been a hugely informative and entertaining video, excellent work sir! I would LOVE to see more videos like this covering other tanks. Even though I'm a dyed in the wool American, you may have converted me to a love of British tanks. I understand that videos like this must take a monster effort to produce, but if you can do it, please make MOAR!

Jingles did you find that you needed to grind a lot of credits after the tank was at 100% researched? i just got the leopard 2av tier 6 to 100% today but i am still 3 million credits away from the tier 7 leopard 2. i find this very large gap to be frustrating in the extreme edit i've only been PvE, can't say i care for PvP

Despite being a British invention, Chobham appeared first on the Abrams…

another great video jingles, i never get tired of listening

Perhaps my favourite video so far. I'm not a huge AW fan, but the information you give is second to none. My old service mate Eddie (not incompetent) now works on Challenger II and this is just great!

The leopard 1 and 2 want to have a word with you, Jingles.

Any plans on doing any more armored warfare videos?

It is a little bit old video, but, it is always a real joy to watch your videos Jingles. Added it in my play list.

Great stuff again. I often don't even watch the video's (attentively) but just listen to your story. Very entertaining.

Jingles i aplreciate your love to the challenger. But from the technical point of view the Leopard 2 did anything better.

Woah, ok, you didn't collect the facts, someone else did, but, gotta say this since I was there....Abrams did not have to clean their filters every 90 minutes, only once a week at the most. Yes, the turbines did suffer from sand scuffing, but it wasn't debilitating to the overall performance. Oh yeah, one other thing, didn't see a single T-64 the whole time there, 55's, 62's, yeah, plenty of them, and masses of BRDM and BMP variants. 72's??? I saw one on the Highway to Hell that was knocked out from aircraft fire.

All these stories and information about vehicles is fantastic. More please! (Obviously you already do them for WoT, WOWS, and WT), we just haven't seen any for a while. Thanks Jingles!

One of the best videos you have done in ages. More please.

Shout out to my NATO brothers for making this beast. From a former M1A1 tank crewman.

did you say 3rd world war?? there was no world war 3

Ah, a History lesson about the Challenger tank and its special armor. Never a boring moment when Jingles does the talking :)

Another great video Jingles.It made me happy and sad.Happy to see a great tank getting the respect it deserves even if only in a game , and also bringing back happy memories of working on the vehicle.Sad because I will never have the joy of flying about in one of these magnificent beasts or it's even more potent descendant again.Keep up the good work fella.Quis Separabit.

I'm starting to think the chally 1 is underrated and the M1 Abrams is overrated 😱

enough with the pve play some pvp the pve is starting to get really boring

Your knowledge on tanks is very good,this is the tank iv'e nearly got on Armored Warfare slowly getting there.Your videos are really good and your commentary about the tanks is damn good too.Respect to you my fellow you tuber.

I was thinking throughout this video what a good and intuitive video this is, then at the end Mr Jingles mention how happy in his pants he was for owning one. Way to bring the tone down. Much love. x

Jingles, your interrupting Rita's live stream was not funny at all.

Challenger is super ugly.

More of this kind of video! this was worthy of the history/Discovery channel *if they actually showed some actual documentary's that is* Big fan jingles! keep up the great work!

Good Job on this video Jingles. Great work on all the tech talk about this tank. Enjoyed all the detail.

I really enjoyed the added depth of historical information in this episode. I miss the old episodes similar to this. Hope that means we'll be getting more like it again. :)

Brilliant video Jingles. The best so far. I'm about to watch it again.

Brilliant video as usual Jingles! Thoroughly enjoyed the info bites on the procreation of Challenger keep up the good work brother. Cheers.

Wow! When you do a tank review on a beloved machine you don't hold back! Absolutely brilliant synopsis on the history and current status, let alone the capabilities and the secrecy about the armour, of this tank. Cheers from Canada!

Dear MR. Jingles the information you give out i wish i had you as my history teacher in my school day because I would actually learn some thing. Thanks for the awesome effort and the Information you give out. Peace from Croatia!

this was a really good video jingles, really put in the effort and it showed. well done sir

this was the video that got me playing AW. this tank is a beast. I am nearly out of it now and looking forward to tier 8 and 9. Thanks Jingles

Well Jingles, I can honestly say this. Your videos conviced me to try this game and WoT on my new laptop...And I am happy I did.

Thanks Mr Jingles. Another superb video. You deserve all of your success.

really interesting video jingles! loved hearing about the history of the Challenger

I do love a video where Jingles spends nearly forty minutes gushing over something he's really excited for. He's like a big kid that just got a new airfix model, and his enthusiasm really is contagious. I really should get around to downloading this game...

Entertaining and informative as always. Keep up the good work Jingles!

OH BOY! a 40 min vid from jingles *phones take-away shop* :) Im now sat eating my tea as always watching Jingles :D

You learn something every day. Hiding the real armor on this thing is pure genius!

Nice one Jingles, enjoyed the chally immensely. Currently 45% through the Ariete, you will need to have enough spare rep to unlock the armour pack (+2.8mill cred) but it also is a face forward tank with 5-600dmg per shot, very enjoyable.Thanks for the AW videos, its my game of choice and its great to see vids in a format I enjoy.

Top Notch quality commenting by the Mighty Jingles! Loved the part where u claimed a double kill ramming and gunning to your right side.

Great video jingles! You have done what I suggested in the last Armoured Warfare video.

Excellent video, Mr. Jingles. I just bought mine yesterday as well and it's a lovely machine!

Every hour checking for a new video from Jingles

As a languages student, allow me to tell you that your videos are not only funny, but they also improve my english level. Having said that I must add that the other day I had an awkward moment during an oral exam, when I said 'it makes me happy' and then involuntarily added 'in my pants'. Thank you, Jingles!

Jingles, love your videos. I think it's because they are very informative and you don't sound like an idiot.

Awesome video man its crazy how the new way of thinking/designing a tanks survival from how it was in WW2

I live just down the road from the former ROF Leeds (or Vickers as everyone called it), literally down a single road, its a car dealership now. You'd occasionally be lucky enough to see a tank sat outside the factory. I never knew about the cosmetic armour on the Challenger 1. Looking forward to you unlocking the Challenger 2, what a beauty.

That was like a short movie. Loved this video. Very informative, interesting information I was not aware of. Thank you! P.S. Please make more videos like these of tanks in Armored Warfare.

I really like this kind of video's :) Keep up the good work Jingles

Being eaten by the turret monster, do love that British humor.

Very good video Jingles, I very much enjoyed the whole thing. I am actually in the regiment The Royal Lancers and I can confirm that the longest tank kill was by one Cpt Newman who was a lancejack at the time of the shot. I would request of you to make more videos like this as I found it exceptionally educational towards my profession and if you made vidoes on enemy AFV's such as T-72 or BMP-2 for example I would greatly appreciate it.

this was a great history lesson. thanks jingles. if only high school was this interesting.

Hope you get your Challenger 2 as soon as possible Jingles, looking forward to hear the background story of that tank in real life!

Great video jingles, I love the amount of information you put into these kinds of videos, I would love to see more like it for sure! One question from me, could you put together a list of recommended literature to read up on post war armour and even pre and on wards, and host it somewhere? I'm not a massive reader but would certainly like to start adding things like that to my library! Thanks again jingles, look after yourself!

Jingles, you seriously need to just do History episodes focusing on wars and battles in modern armored conflict. You discussing the Gulf war was the most interesting thing I've seen in a long time.

Very awesome, mr Jingles! Love Tanks 4 ever!

Great video Jingles. I learned alot of new things about Challenger tank

Congratulations to Tier 7, Jingles! I'm still crouching on Tier 5 and it already start sucking. Thx for the video, mate!

I love you jingles!

Really enjoyed the video and finding out some additional history of the vehicle. Thank you! I ended the night yesterday at 56% in my Chieftain, but must say after this that I am really inspired to grind through the remaining 44%. I would make a video of the Challenger I for you if I only knew how. So hopeless LOL

I realy hope that this is getting a more regular thing. I loved the history lessons on the WoT tanks. And getting that for the modern stuff would be incredible!

I can't wait to get my hands on my own, now. Good vid, Jingles.

I heard that the Challenger I does exceedingly well in PvE but rather poorly in PvP. Didn't inquire as to why, but I am greatly looking forward to getting the Chally 1. Great video again Jingles! Was interesting to learn the history behind this tank as well.

Thanx for the review Jingles, added it in few of our play lists ;)

Loved hearing the history of the tank. Anytime you want to talk about modern tanks all you hear about is Abrams. Very refreshing

This was a great video! Loved the History lesson.

Ah Jingles, always such fitting music!

the rocky music :D love that you used it

You're lucky, Jingles. Not long ago, Challenger 1 apparently had a massive frontal weakspot removed in the most recent major content patch, one bad enough that some players were actually complaining that the frontal armor was all but useless because everyone just aimed at it. So you picked the right time to get it!

I blame you Jingles just downloaded Armored warfare yesterday and I am now hooked you evil gnome :)

After that introduction, I have a feeling this is going to be a good one! :)

Great video jingles love your stuff

Jingles, wonderful coverage as always. I was hoping that you and Rita could sign off on my guardianship papers this week. As indicated, I am a 44 year old adult child and I am very dog friendly. Well, at least I got a giggle! Jingles ALL HAIL!

Great video Jingles... love playing this tank... find the gun a little frustrating and you really have to pick your shot carefully but its a beast to meet head on

Jingles- "Makes me very happy in my pants"- 2015 I have my friend nick over and we laughed so hard when this line was said. Thank you Jingles.

Excellent historical review on the Challenger!
