British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

My impressions after half spading the AJAX are its pretty good, miles better than the Desert Warrior

The BMPT kinda ruins the 10.3 mm but ive still enjoyed it and im not even spaded

whats good about the armour for the ajax tho is 30mm apds cant pen it frontaly +500m

Yeah, the BMPT can’t pen your frontal hull at all even at close range. The frontal hull can even bounce the 57mm AP from the Bagel panzer.

They have also seperated the ammo from the crew now, which is nice, im not sure if it works as blowout panels though

The main issue is the mantlet is only 20mm of RHA so its really easy to get penned there by low caliber autocannons

Is the separation just not visible on the x-ray, or did they backtrack it?

not visible on xray, if you shoot the vehicle in protection analysis you can see it

Aim-9Ms are really really broken at hte moment. Had a few go for flares even in rear aspect and then I just had this:

Even AIM-9B’s manage to actually track a target even if they are easily defeated. But it’s not like you even need to do anything to defeat a 9M just fly in a straight line and it defeats itself.

Hell you’re better off just using 9L’s over 9M’s currently.

do we know how gaijin originally came up with the magnification for CR3(TD) sights?

copied from Challenger 2E i think, they didn’t look far

ahhh sad

Anybody else having issues with Ajax after repairing? Turret going crazy up/down or side to side whilst repairing then getting stuck in position post repair? Then asking you to press F to repair but not letting you?

Very odd bug.

intended, crew got brain damage obviously

Ahh yeah I forgot how realistic this game truly is!

maybe Britain could get t80u?

This website mentions that the United Kingdom once purchased a T-80U from Russia in 1992 for research purposes, and it appears that this T-80U has now been put on display.

Why would we possibly want one? We already have 1 T-series C&P too many

Ajax might be the most fun Ive had in a British IFV in a while. Also face tanks the 30mm on BMPT and BMP-2 like a champ.

Also its really nippy and maneuverable.

Side effect is I’m now deaf. 10/10

iirc it was more than 1 T-80U

I agree but its laser warning receiver isn’t working for me and its still missing its spall liner !!

Played all my matches with it on dev with the volume set to 100% for lore accuracy.
