Firstly as far as I’m aware this is an entirely German project, by your argument we should move the Finnish CV-CT 105HP to the Belgian tree. Secondly, there are other similar vehicles for Belgium anyway, there’s the DF90 armed Piranha which 100% needs to be added before we get to prototypes.

an almost identical concept of the 3105 turret on the Austrian Pandur II (also has a nice side effect of keeping it with the Austrian SK105) for the Portuguese trials, not much info tbh fair, but not too much different.

There’s defiantly more, Cockerill have put their turrets or sold their turrets to literally anyone and everyone.
Even the 3105 turret on its own had already sold 200 units in its first year to multiple nations. Every single Cockerill turret with a 105HP gun (no joke) was trialed on the Belgian army Piranha IIIC anyway, so Belgium/France could get all the Cockerill prototype-turrets easily that way into the tech tree. The unique thing about the Belgian prototypes is that they are the only ones we can be certain of that the use the crazy MECAR M1060CV APFSDS round, so it would be more logical to have these versions in the Belgian/French Tech tree (Piranha IIIC or Piranha V or Leopard 1A5BE with the cockerill turrets).
There is/was never a need for these multi-company ventures to be added. You don’t want 30 vehicles with the 105HP gun in the same tech tree anyway. This addition to germany makes a lot of sense. :)
Yeah and like i said in the post the only reason i suggested this was because of it’s German Hull, and that it was tested by KMW in Germany i really would like to see other cockerill in general for Benelux
France never entered the boxer program. Nor do they have interest to use them. It would make absolutely no sense for France to get a Boxer 8x8.
Only countries valid are Germany and Britian. Maybe Isreal as an event vehicle because Qatar also have a small amount of Boxers.
It is also a demonstration, there is no word on it actually being in use, therefore point is moot. It was made by Germany primarily and Cockerill is based in Belgium. There was no planned use in Belgium to use the module either, the fire trials were set for Germany and the UK but ended up being cancelled and currently unknown.
Belgium is only referenced because Cockerill is based there, Belgium doesn’t have the Boxer in service, only the Netherlands, still a very far reach for France getting a boxer.
