Great find indeed. Being on an Australian vehicle, and doesn’t sound like it was tested by anyone else, we should indeed be able to add this to the tree.
If @Zerocookiecake is on the money about warhead performance, I think this might still be 8.0 like the U-SH 405 tbh. Yes, it’s only 4 shots then a reload for another 4 shots making 8 total rockets, and the rockets might do less damage overall than the PL-3. But the Hawkei we should keep in mind would be one of the fastest vehicles in the entire game. And the 50cal as a secondary shouldn’t be discounted either.

Speaking of the Hawkei, here’s another earlier instance of it being fitted with the EOS Slinger, this time at DSEI 2019. The RWS looks a bit different here, including the shape of the ammo box, but functionally it is probably identical.
I also found this online graphic of another interesting Hawkei variant that has yet to appear in the flesh. It’s kind of old by this point but perhaps Thales will make it a reality one day.
