Australia uses CRV’s
Wellp but do we get Australian ground vehicles? Probably not considering the M1 Aim exists
It’s an ugly bastard though
well we should, we already have some in the game, the Americans got the AIM because there would be an unimaginable amount of crying if they didnt, it would also give a lot more money from GE purchases for them in the US tree, muuuuh free abrooms.
The British tree already has the matilda hedgehog, the A.C.1, the A.C.5 and the Centurion Mk.5/1, as well as the aircraft like the wirraway, boomerang and a beaufighter
with a boxer now in game it wouldn’t surprise me to see more in the coming update so why not an Australian one
what is that horror
True I totally forgot about the latter ones
i added the planes to the list as well :)
and isn’t the CRV korean so no tree can moan
no?
korea doesnt operate boxers as far as im aware
No the Ausssie IFV is korean
I don’t get what you mean?
Never mind
129 units to be ordered for the Australian Army.[14]
Hanwha Defense Australia (HDA), a subsidiary of Hanwha Defense, proposed a derivative of the K21 known as the AS21 Redback for the Australian Army’s Land 400 Phase 3 IFV project.[15] In March 2019, Rheinmetall’s Lynx KF41 and the Redback AS21 were shortlisted for consideration for the project.[16] The same month three prototype AS21s were delivered to the Australian Army for testing purposes.[17] Testing was supposed to begin in 2019 and last two years, but it was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.[15] In July 2023, the AS21 Redback was announced as the successful bidder for the project.[15]
The Redback weighs 42 tons and is powered by a MTU America MT881 Ka-500 diesel with an Alison transmission.[18][14] It has a maximum range of 525 km (326 mi) and a top speed of 65 km/h (40 mph).[14] It can carry eight passengers and has a crew of three.[14] The Redback has a Soucy Defense single piece composite rubber track.[18] The Australian designed EOS T-2000 turret based on the Elbit MT30 Mk 2 features an ATK Mark 44S Bushmaster II 30mm auto canon, fitted with a two round Rafael Spike LR2 anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) system, a EOS R400 Remote Weapons Station (RWS) and a coaxial mounted MAG58 7.62mm machinegun.[18][14] The Redback is equipped with the Elbit Iron Fist active protection system (APS) and a Elbit Iron vision system that provides the crew with a 360 degree view.[18][19][14] The Redback is protected by Plasan armour.[20]
Originally 450 vehicles were planned to be acquired to replace Australia’s M113AS4 APCs on a one-for-one basis, but this was reduced in April 2023 by the Defence Stragetic Review.[15][21] The review recommended that the acquisition be accelerated.[15][21][14] The first Redback is planned to be delivered in early 2027 with deliveries completed by late 2028 at an acquisition cost of between AU$5-$7 billion (US$3.4-$4.7 billion).[15] The Redback will be built in a purpose-built Australian factory.[15] HDA has proposed a small initial tranche be built in South Korea to meet the accelerated delivery date.[
This is what i meant
not surprising, every Australian vehicle is in the premium section of the tree apart from the beaufighter, which is in a folder
ok I understand now, I thought you were saying that Australia had boxers from korea or something lol, but i get that you meant they also had the redback from korea.
Would be nice to have an Australian tree and this would be a really nice addition since they refuse to add any warrior upgrades
Just saw it had iron fist APS :D
it would be great IFV
Does anybody have a link to a British ground forces suggestion thread?
There’s the previous suggestions area, but I would like one where I can just send these Australian vehicles and let somebody much more knowledgeable about them have a go, because if I made a suggestion for a vehicle it will be a rambling mess, and probably very inaccurate.
Now I want an Australian tree lol, it could be what south africa was supposed to be, good light tanks
