Battlefield 1942 (D.C.X. only)
The Challenger in D.C.X. shares the same stats as the M1A1 Abrams in Desert Combat. It can knock out any N.P.C. type vehicle with one shot and can take anything from 2-4 shots to take out a t-95 depending on it's health. The tanks in all Desert combat versions have pinpoint accuracy and so the crosshair doesn't have to be above the target if it is a fair distance away.

Battlefield 2
The Challenger 2 is likely one of the most heavily armoured tanks in the world, and has been rated the most durable tank in active deployment by NATO powers. The turret and hull are protected with second generation Chobham armour (also known as Dorchester) the details of which are still classified. Explosive Reactive Armour kits are also fitted as necessary. The nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protection system is located in the turret bustle. On each side of the turret are five L8 smoke grenade dischargers. Challenger 2 can also create smoke by injecting diesel fuel into the exhaust manifolds. The Challenger 2E also has gauss coils fitted beneath its armour to protect against EMP blasts generated by a nuclear detonation.

The Challenger 2 features in 2 of the 3 Euroforce maps, those being Taraba Quarry and Operation Smoke Screen. Unlike the L2A6, the C2 only features in the one skin as seen above. With lower graphics settings, the tank appears a lot darker as well. The BF2 version uses the US HUD in the drivers view and the tank itself is quite large compared to its M1A2, T90 and Type 88 counterparts. This makes it a big of an easier targer for both the MEC and PLA which is a slight disadvantage. Weaponry
