He likes Boxers, the solution to every problem :D
Also interesting you noted the Luchs 2. I find the usage of 25 mm interesting for armed reconnaissance when most nations seem to be moving towards 30 mm (like Japan). But apparently they managed to make proximity-fuzed ammunition for it
Hell, most are moving even larger (35mm or 40mm, with industry even suggesting 50mm). I think in this case it’s more an ammunition size thing, you can fit more 25mm in a given space compared to 30mm (or larger) and that turret is pretty small.
A weird choice logistically too, given the German army uses 20mm and 30mm at the moment.
Intresting… Given the KBA’s fire rate it might turn into a pretty good pocket SPAAG
Such hard working devs😭😭
I sold it at 43, and now I kind of regret it, after all, it had been with me in my warehouse for two years.
Wiesel II is just in service as medical evac and command vehicle. This version is not adopted and won’t ever. Can be possibly introduced as prototype unit, though.
Instead, Wiesel TOW got modernized > Wiesel SPIKE (MELLS). Planned use is up to 2030 and beyond. Remaining Wiesel RMK 20mm are set to get phased out or upgraded to Spike in 2026…this year.
Boxer’s are supposed to take over Wiesel’s role in the long run. But don’t ask how and why. When I look at a Boxer and compare it to Wiesels, I don’t really get how this should work. Do Boxers even fit into Airbus transporters? They are truly huge and pure anti-ambush. Hard to hide.
The moment I saw that the Spike launcher is eleveted upwards, I knew this as well. You only have the slow firing 30mm gun in most cases, since typical engagement distances on WT maps will be inside the Spike deadzone. I already know how idiotic these ingame systems are. In 9/10 cases you can’t use the Spike ATGM. Even TOW would be better in this situation.
… while BMPT has two autoguns and 6 direct fire ATGMs, which can be easily used close range + op armor.
Wasn’t LUWA cancelled as it is too expensive for the needs

can we get something decent for Germany pretty please?
Same autocannon as PUMA?
No, only russia gets all the good stuff. Germany deserves to suffer for having the best MBT in the game.
Yep so a bigger target than the puma VJTF at a probably lower br still stuck with a low rof that has the same accuracy as the BMPT and SPIKEs that don’t work. Will still see BMPT so no use in this but dropping germany’s WR even lower.
the boxers multiply at a rapid pace.
oh :( i need something for leopard 2A7 set up and not with a shit master 30 mm
The spike launcher cant elevate and depress so is a little less practical.
the APS that doesnt work on CRV is also not on this one, so its lighter.
Practically next to identical
4 Spikes Total DOA
Should receive more spikes
10.3BR?
This is a question and should count as enough to be a full sentence. I’d rather write this whole thing as an explanation than phrase my question any differently.
10.3-10.7 is what I’d expect
