10.3 British Ajax Is DoA

You: Name 1 IFV/LT that can tank as much as the BMPT

Me: Ok, Namer 30

You: No you can destroy it’s ammo (which won’t kill the Namer 30), meanwhile the BMPT doesn’t lose it’s ammo when the belt gets hit according to me (which you have provided pretty much 0 proof for btw, if you want people to believe your claim that should be a good start).

shame that I do better in my mostly stock tech tree Chally 1 Mk.3 than you do in yours that should be spaded after 362 games. Ouch.

I mean it kind of is, but not for those reasons.

Lol that is a really cute assumption.

BMPT would NOT be fine at 10.7. People are taking it to 12+ and it still slaps.

Ammo located in crewless turret will just burn while ammo which is used by crew as chair destroys vehicle if hit. Hence why rb 56 bill 2 is more efficient than spike in most cases, spikes often just cook turret belts while bill reaches hull belts and cooks whole tank.

Sure it most likely wouldnt die if you hit it with HE far from hull but you will lose all your ammo which is equal to death because you are essentially harmless to enemy team and useless. And while namer has to j out or drive without any ammo to point (which is certain death if its not capped or somewhere in middle of fight) bmpt will have another cannon to work with plus ammo box.

Gaijin just cant stand britain having something good. They HAVE TO give russia something better either by adding something 1 step ahead or adding something that should be 1 BR higher at the same BR.

If an Ajax with ATGMs gets added, it will be at a higher BR than the BMPT’s despite it having a slower fire rate, worse armour, and probably less ATGM’s.

Even then, Desert Warrior got TOW2A, but the way they fire is so awkward that it is difficult to aim them in close quarters, lol. Hopefully Ajax would not have the same firing motion if it does get them.

Ello, ello

Gaijin:

“Hold my vodka”

I mean I think they said they will add one next.

There’s Ajax Overwatch with Brimstones, Ajax IFV with Iron Fist and ATGMs and then there’s Ajax Blackjax with an uncrewed turret.

The Blackjax has the same turret as the normal Ajax but with iron fist added and a new gun mount to allow it to have 85 degrees of gun elevation.

The AJAX IFV has the unmanned turret, with a javelin launcher and iron fist, as seen below

The naming is certainly confusing though

Yh ur right. I remember when they all first came out and it wasn’t clear which one was which. The IFV has a longer hull but it’s only a prototype I’m pretty sure.

Yeah its a prototype for the UK’s potential new IFV, intended to replace the Warrior after the Warrior CSP program failed

Just a prototype at the moment, but its been in the works for a while and It looks like it may be a functional vehicle. I believe the AJAX IFV turret is a development of an existing unmanned turret for the Warrior WCSP program.

They are supposedly making more prototypes in 2026

i mean, it was moved to 10.7, which did next to nothing for the matchmaker. but i get your point.

Why does AJAX not have a zoom and it’s a fixed sight? We already lived through this nonsense with the Desert Warrior.

Sorry but the BMPT with it’s copy pasted gen 1.5 90s French thermals has better optics than the brand new AJAX?

Because they took one figure for the day sights optical zoom and ran with it, the sight should at minimum be 1-6x as it has unity zoom (1x), but they won’t model that.

In reality the zoom is likely completely different, we know the thermal sight has at least 12x system zoom (digital and optical zoom combined) but they won’t accept that.

It’s a shocking decision for a light/Recce vehicle to have optics that poor.

shocking decisions are gaijins bread and butter

They must model optical zoom for helis and TGPS though?

The Ajax is fantastic, this whole thread is just complaining about BMPT with extra steps

The British TT has been in dire need of a capable IFV/AFV/Light Tank for a long time and it’s introduction is more than welcome. Far from DOA.

My biggest complaint too. Would make a really fun little sniper with good zoom

Its a shame they killed this report

I have only used in test drive but yes i’m sure it is a massive upgrade. However having the optics of that poor quality is a detriment.

Compare it to the Jaguar which I have and you can see it’s a real downgrade.
