Gentlemen of British-Main persuasion - I appreciate your enthusiasm but am struck by your lack of ambition.
I present ‘things which were hung on the back of a Land Rover and which probably shouldn’t but sod it - it’d be hilarious in-game.’
Embrace the madness… close thread.
(We don’t really have anything smaller than the Daimler AC at the moment - so why not small unarmoured meme vehicle or 2…or 3.)
So the first one is A thing.
The second one is an recoilless rifle.
The third looks to be… Swingfire?
Maybe malkaras, seeing the blue tip?
Vickers Vigilant ATGM Prototype
WOMBAT Recoiless Rifle
Swingfire
Lest we also forget the Air Defence Half Track …thingy.
Or would sir be partial to the Land Rover Shorland armoured car with Javelin SAMs?
Plenty more Wallace and Gromi…ahem… fine engineering solutions to choose from.
No mention of CVR(T) in a thread about Brit light tanks??? WTF??
But in keeping with the thread of silly things I give you Humber Hornet with Malkara - air portable and para-dropable no less!:
Also at War Wheels:
Just as the founding brothers intended.
Good shout. Forgot about that one. A solid 8/10 on the silly scale and a real contender.
The Humber Pig (base chassis) is massive, a great big lump of a truck of a thing you can’t exactly sneak around in. Then someone (in a shed, all British military development occurs in a shed) decided to stick two whacking great missiles on top. Bonus points for deploying them up in a mechanical Giraffe routine before firing - basically screaming ’ Helloooooo! Look at me ambushing you sneakily with my two storey AT vehicle!’
Mind you, if one of those missiles hit something I would imagine it would produce a very big bang…
Do we have anything like the Flarakrad or Pantsir or ITO 90 we could get in the game?
Indian pantsir
Well, as for flakrad, tracked rapiers are bit overdue, but cant recall the missile stats.
Also isnt there a replacement for them already?
As for pantsir, im fraid no NATO country currently employs such system that combines both gun and radar missiles. At best i heard something about Skyranger turret, maybe with IRIS-T?
Not that there are no better missiles, its just that they are not mounted on single vehicle together with radar and thus implementing them to the game would be…difficult.
Worse then what the adats has i I’ve hear
Worse than starstreaks?
No the missiles the ADATS uses but not as bad as starstreak
Sidegrade to starstreaks would be nice, seeing their current performance
It would
Here is two interesting Armoured cars that could be added to the UK TT, the Vickers Valkyr
The Vickers Valkyr started it’s life as a prototype AC designed by Irish defense firm Timoney as a proposed evolution for the Timoney Mk.V (BDX) hence why it was originally referred to as the “BDX Mk.II”. Vickers gained interest in the project alongside the a stretched variant of the BDX Mk.II which eventually became the Vickers Mk.11, eventually taking the project over from Timoney.
You can see that the Valkyr was mounted with 2 turrets, one with a 60mm and roof mounted 20mm similar to the AML-60-20 Serval and one with a 90mm turret most likely a HS-90 or Giat Lynx turret
Apparently Kuwait did place an order for the Valkyr however it never materialized due to Iraq’s invasion and annexation of Kuwait
