At this point we should just break into the systems and do it ourselves.

And Belgium? Definetly hasn’t told everyone it can be done 😜
Proposed enhancement of Raven with 4x ASRAAMs on a Moog Flexible Mission Platform (FMP) turntable/turret and the armoured cab Supacat HMT, rather than stuff bodged together from surplus
Apparently referred to as “Raven 5” (I’m none the wiser on what Ravens 2, 3 and 4 were)
2x ASRAAM version on the same platform, shown earlier this year with the Hawkeye EO turret in place
The conceptual design that was presented by MBDA at DSEI last year

Pretty…
Anyone else just think the Ajax 40mm is just so lack lustre? Shooting tanks in the side for an age and if you are lucky they will die.
If they are Russian/Soviet forget about it, I have poured shots into the lower side armour where the ammo lives on a T-80 and not detonated the ammo or even killed it.
Now I actually think the gun on the Boxer is better at side shots due to the rate of fire (Which is so dumb Gaijin)
Ive never really had much of an issue with it actually, sure would be nice if it was a little stronger, but for the BR I think its okay. What perpetually annoys me is the missing survivability (spall liners, etc) and the zoom
Nah the round does not do enough damage, it’s an upgrade over what we have had previously.
The dispersion is too high and post pen damage is too low even when shooting weak spots.
Sure I can kill a BMP-2 or other IFVs but I should also be a threat to tanks side armour and it really isnt.
Optics are also a bad joke
Gotta agree with the other guy, feels anaemic compared to the raden. 30mm warrior still the best pick to this day lol.
Id personally take the RoF of the Ajax over the maybe better post pen damage of Raden
Eh, i just cant react quick enough to correct my aim when firing at the side of tanks with the 40mm. Mainly due to the lack of vision due to all the effects going on, becomes a little much for me. The 30mm on the other hand is just so punchy for what it is. That combined with the lack of survivability against autocannons in the ajax makes me just play the base warrior with the armour package.
I have the opposite issue, the low RoF and my rubbish aim means I tend to miss anything vital. the higher RoF means I can spray and pray a little :D
Yeah… though the Ajax should be better… but alas… Gaijin

Torque converter to improve mobility when?
(Gaijin needs me to find the non-existent gear ratios for Ajax before they will accept a report, as clearly they can’t apply the Torque Converter to their own fabricated Ratios)
Damn you RENK for not making gear ratios public

I think this is more of an issue in regards to the RARDEN hitting like an absolute freight train compared to other autocannons than the 40 being weak.
I think it is one of the few shells not on the formula thingy for pen
Other way round, other auto cannons should pack as much punch as a RARDEN for equivalent and better autocannons. the 30mm bmp cannon should not be doing similar damage to an ajax’s 40mm.
For some stupid reason autocannon APDS does more damage ingame than autocannon APFSDS…
it’s part of the reason the BMPTs damage is so insane

And the Type 89’s damage. 35mm APDS absolutely shred on it.

Yep, seen it, but thank you.
To me it sounds like they’ll be extremely selective and move any that do get them up in BR quite a bit.
Though doesnt really help the 7.Xs that have to suffer through APDS
