British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

Yeah I meant Gaijin said they didn’t want to implement FnF on Tonkas or Typhoons, and I was wondering if they’ll change that when it comes to Ajax

If it got them at all.

I dont think Brimstone has been fitted to the Ajax, only the Ajax Overwatch? which is a dedicated ATGM slinger version kinda like the Striker without the turret.

The versions we’d probably get will have either just the gun or gun+javelin.

The 40mm gun + APS at 10.3/10.7 would be really good

If it’s been made as a demonstrator surely it can be added. It’s just a question of whether they so wish.

Maybe if British players had a tad more purchasing power they’d cook up a 11.7 Overwatch pack with Javelin.

The overwatch could be added, but given we still dont have the base Ajax or a later warrior yet.,… it could be a while

Cries in understandable yet questionable design decisions in making Rarden operate on 3 round clips instead of a belt or any other type of normal feed mechanism.

Its such a punchy gun its absurd, if only its reload wasnt so awful.

i think ajax stuff goes into here?

If true, welcome to getting screwed by the french, apparantly the 40mm barrel is realy realy bad and needs to be replaced every 2k rounds

Should’ve stuck with good old BAE

Does the Jaguar have the same problem with their cta 40mms?

Likely, its the same cannon i believe

The BAE Scout SV pitch also used the CT40

True. Seems we can’t make stuff anymore

Artillery rch155 german.
Challenger 3 german upgraded.

Well spear 3, meteor mlu. Your new generation plane out the top of my head are all british and looking good in development

What do you mean ? It’s a joint devellopment, both sides are suffering if that is the case…
And honestly i don’t find any french source claiming any problems alongside France wanting to put CTA40 on more vehicles.

French screwing over projects they participated in is still a thing.

Dunno, but at least DTR is on the more legit side aint it?
Personaly i have more symphathy with the british them the french.
Thats why i shared it here

Ok xd, that is quite silly.

The Challenger 3 isnt really German upgraded, the majority of upgrades are being done in the UK by British companies

RBSL is just BAE Systems Land renamed after Rheinmetall bought a portion of it, which itself was previously Vickers-Alvis (The same company that made the Chally 2)

The Germans contributed (with the gun) but the idea that its a German upgrade is mostly a myth

Suspension upgrades - Horstmann (British)
Powerpack upgrades - Babcock (British)
New armour packages - DSTL (British)
New sights - Thales UK (British)
New LWS - Elbit Systems UK (British/Israeli)
Gun - Rheinmetall (Germany)
Integration - RBSL (British, part owned by Rheinmetall)

So the only part which is actually entirely German is the gun, the rest of the upgrades are mostly domestic and co-ordinated by RBSL which is a British based company.

Seriously thats the part u are hung up about?

idk if im hung up im just saying its not really true

why does that second image loook soo weird

Off topic

Spoiler

Ah this again

So let’s see, a bunch of tweets which may or may not be true : the guys in your tweet don’t even seem to agree with one an other, is it 500-700, or 2000 ? Doesn’t bold too well already X)

Other than that no mentions of excessive barrel wear, be it in France (Jaguar + mass adoption as CWIS on ships) or in the UK (afaik the last issue concerned the gun integration on a turret with lockheed)

Germany screwing its partners on projects of course never happens, except when it blocks EF exports for the brits, or when Rheinmetall threatens a hostile takeover bid if KNDS goes on the stock exchange…

Oh no wait, when it goes this way you call it cooperation ?

You shared it here because these tweets with no source to back them in an appropriate french thread would have been received as they should have : disregard at best, proper and meticulous debunk at worst.

Same as the SAMP/T not working in ukraine (a bug that lasted 2 weeks because the battery was made with french and italian components) that you somehow turned into the system being inoperable for years, your regular sorties on Ascalon 140, and your refusal to see the SHARD shell on Leclerc while you want DM73 and 83 on leos all day long, based on the fact that the shell is “for export only” which is false, you have been proven wrong non earlier than this morning

Surely i’m not the only one who sees a pattern, but i digress

Back on topic it’s a shame the brits did not receive the CTA with the Ajax at the same time as Jaguar, an other missed opportunity by Gaijin
