Ajax IFV with a anti-tank missile launch system

So, I’ve seen photos and clips about the British Ajax IFV and seen/heard that they can add a anti-tank fire and forget missile launch system, similar to Spikes or the French one on the Jaguar. But instead, the Ajax can be fitted with a system that can fire a modified variant of the Brimstone missiles seen on a lot of European Military Aircraft and I think it would make the Ajax a far better and competitive IFV and also more versatile vehicle like the Puma VTJF, the KF41 and many more. I know Britain recently got the CRV Block 2 as an event vehicle. But maybe this could add a bit more variety and have a BR for this around 11.0 or 11.3 depending on how well it performs in testing and when/if it gets added to the game. What are your thoughts?

this and the version of the boxer with this turret would be awesome to see with the javelin missile and 40mm gun

Its Javelin, its technically possible, but hasnt actually been done yet as far as anyone knows. We’ve only seen mockups which is why Gaijin wont do it. With all its issues, might be some time before they get round to doing that,

Ajax with its remote MG

The same remote MG on the Boxer fitted with the Javelin (no reason why Javelin couldnt also be fitted to the remote weapon when on the Ajax)

Ajax "IFV" Variant with Javelin mockup

There is the Ajax Overwatch which replaces the 40mm gun with a Brimstone launcher that as far as I am aware, just fires normal Brimstone 3s

There were mockups of the Challenger 2 outfitted with a pair of Brimstones, but it too was a mockup at this time. Im not sure of any plans to actually fit Brimstone 3s to the Ajax with a 40mm gun.


Though on a personal note. Im actually quite happy with Ajax at its current BR, without ATGMs, I hope to see another variant in the future to fullfill the 11.0+ AFV/IFV role, but for now Im more interested in getting the Ajax up to spec, like adding Spall liners, fixing the zoom, etc etc

Same, the stock grind was very painful but I have really come to enjoy it. Just don’t go in water above 1m depth, Gaijin modelled the internal ponds of the Ajax very well

What’s really funny is that if that gets added its going to be a historical vehicle addition and not an in-service vehicle addition
