Why does the new challenger 1 premium tank only have 44 rounds of ammunition when in real life it could carry 64 rounds this is the second time wargaming have done this to challenger 1 because the tech tree one only has 44 rounds of ammunition as well. why can’t wargaming get the basics right ?

Sources I've seen state that it could only carry 44 charges for the ammunition in the original Mk 1+2 configuration.
The Mk 3 had different ammunition boxes so could store more charges.
It could probably carry more shells, but with only 44 charges you're only firing 44 rounds
cloud mantle
It has 50 now
Would it be nice if it had 64 rounds yeah but 50 isn't useless there's tanks in era3 with much less such as the tier3 era3 Chinese type90-2 with 39 rounds 
kindred briar
Yes it could
look the emoji troll has turned up with nothing to contribute as normal
The tank chat on challenger 1 from the tank museum states that it can carry 64 rounds of ammunition
Challenger 1 should get the Jericho round as well

If it sticks with 50 rounds at best then accept it better then 44 also it won't be that good anyways with it having the same pen values as the tech tree challenger 1 the only real difference between these two tanks is one has era the other doesn't
I'm just glad to see a premium challenger come into the game

Tbf, historical ammo counts shouldn't really be taken into account.

I am as well but they should at least buff the pen

Some tanks have way more ammo than they did historically
Or is even physically possible

Why don’t they do the same as the standard rounds ?

Because its DU which cause more damage in IRL so its effectiveness is refelected in game.
