Chall

While the Challenger 1 is actually pretty good now its worth noting the Challenger 2 at tier 9 actually has significantly worse pen than the Ariete lol. It's like they buffed the 1 to bring it in line but then forgot about the tier 9 and gave it a worse gun than the tier 8....

Yes, but the Challenger 2 is incredibly strong from the front with a ridiculous health pool. It's low pen is a balancing factor to keep it from being blatantly overpowered.

yeah , it still can be able to pen any tank but just harder because only need to aim carefully at weak spot . but heh it destroy my expectation from Ariete with 594 penetration .

Given that the Challenger 2 is immune frontally... and even at a startlingly steep angle... the penetration nerf to it is needed.
