Legit I have never heard of this…
Deffo something to suggest lmao.
Wait… is that picture of the Strikemaster actually carrying the 20mm?
Huh… they explicitly mention strikemaster too…
if it gets that 20mm it would have to go up in br massively to like 7.0
I mean is that actually a problem though? The main reason why its 6.3 is because it lacks anything above machinegun weapons and arguably its a bit of a stomper in GRB mode due to that.
I have used the plane without issue in 8.0 lineups for GRB, obviously it will be an effect for playing air RB but with a pair of 20mm, it might do pretty well at 7.0 I think?
NGL I am really tempted to buy that leaflet… Be like, £40 in the end or something with shipping I think…
main question is how many it hand hold at once
Given the picture only shows 2, I would wager gaijin would limit us to carrying 2 at a time if they were kind and gave us them. Though the weight with ammunition is only ~200kg it could likely carry 4?

Whelp I made it, I accidentally pressed to make the post before I was finished haha so kinda rushed to add the images and stuff xD
edit: anyone know anyone who can help bump it through fast? Who knows maybe this 1 might not fall through the gaps to never be seen again unlike my miniguns post.

I’ve really enjoyed the AJAX on the dev server
- Insane gun handling
- Good shells
- Good mobility
- LWS
- target tracker with HE-TF shells
The only letdown is the armour, which seems to be incorrect
i think it will be a very capable 10.3 tank, but the BMP-T is just going to be so busted at 10.3 it may outshine it
The BMPT has weak spots, but hitting them before it kills you wont be easy

I’m okay with it, its not bad, but the fact that something like cv90 is arguably better in most regards at the same br does say a lot

did they mess with sraams again they feel… wobbly again
The CV90 only really has a faster firerate, but it has an awful ready rack
personally I’d take the AJAX over the CV9040s

Hopefully this buffs the armour a smidge

The much greater ammo load and ready rack (especially relative to the 9040C) should be a lot better if you can get a flank I’d imagine.
you really notice the ready rack difference between the Strf9040c and the ajax, u can freely fire alot more in the ajax then in the strf… tho saying that the CV9040 gun feels like it does… a smidge more post pen damage

I made this report yesterday by the way
Currently if your LWS gets destroyed, which happens a lot, you lose your IR tracking abilities
Obviously that isnt right
Nice report, currently the AJAX’s armour is pretty awful, making the main structure steel would help a lot

sadly the only thing I can think of that would make it any more reliable would be the PSO package as it would bring the armour up to survive 30-40mm rounds
Oxy said on the dev stream that we will probably see more AJAX variants in the future. I imagine:
- AJAX PSO
- BLACKJAX
- AJAX IFV
Even without the PSO upgrade I think the AJAX should still be able to resist 30mm APFSDS from the front
It’s just really hard to find any real info out there

The fact it currently doesn’t even meet STANAG 4 standard on most of the hull makes me really hope it’s mostly placeholder still.

I feel like we should get PSO as a mod but eh
