And here I was thinking getting the Rooivalk for a 11.3 grb lineup :(
I’d get the G-Lynx and just play the 10.3 line-up at the moment. Rooivalk is okay, but i’ve never had much in the way of good matches with it
cause its not the real challanger 3 tech demo, or tank its just a fabricated mix n mash of the two, hence why its missing half the gizmos it had, yet has half the stuff from the 3
I am currently finishing my grind in that area of the British tree.
Vickers Mk11 is fun. It’s also dirty if you shrubbery the front because of how quiet it is, and then hide in ditch behind a small bush. Almost like you can with Chief, but it also has a scout and needs a little more stealth otherwise gets one shot. It is also a good support vehicle if you have tanks and other bait going for an objective. To the point of it is probably the best Command and Control vehicle for a voice chat group to have with so far in the brit tree. It doesn’t get the DM33 rounds that the VFM5 gets though.
Downside… No zoom.
Rooikats are oddly first round survivable which makes them fun to use in a group for pack tactics. However encounter a pack yourself and die.
Currently unlocking the Stormers. But since the VFM5 isn’t getting a boost in BR (and I get to crew it today). Looks like I will need to get the Mk 7. Then continue down the Challenger line.
I want the BK so badly (and the rest of the Challys they look good). It will help me unlock future UK Aussie ground vehicles.
They look good, but unfortunately they are entirely carried by aesthetics, Gaijin decided they cant be good if they look good
People hate it, But I rather enjoy the Stormer HVM. Rather fun tank to play.
(Also, anyone else think the Vickers Mk11 needs an Ultramarine 40k skin?)

Yes RR Power Systems (which is registered German but owned by RR Holdings which is British) owns MTU but unless the government are very scummy they wouldn’t just claim a German designed engine is British because its parent company is.
is rheinmetall part of the german army?
The ke2020neo was made and put into development to german standards and germsn request.
Britain “joined” the project last year without any prior experience in smoothbore ammunition.
For the sense and purpose the ke2020 neo was build/developed in direct cooperation with the german army. Just like the 2a7, 2a8s, MGCS etc
its built by a private company. now if its ordered by the german army specificaly like the uk did when they ordered the cr3 thats fine, but strict cooperation may only mean rheimetall hasked questions about some stuff and the gaerman army helped test it. but its still a private company.
so pls drop the fanboyism unless you want every trophy aps tank in the israely tech tree.
It is developed on german request and standards, that is how it is its not fanboyism.
Rheinmetall works closely with german military for those kind of stuff thats a fact
Did not deny that. But the KE 2020 Neo is first and foremost the german ammunition.
The hell u even talking about
im talking about this. its not german untill the german army is using it.
Dont forget the 30mm British APDS is getting a rework (Nerf)
Do i habe to show u the document from like 2018 where germany parlament statted develoöment/request of ke 2020 neo?

did gaijin say something about it?
i dont care what you show. contracts and demands change all the time. it may have change several times since it started.
From german input then yes.
At the point uk joined everything was pretty much already set in track.
It feels more like you need to stop the fanboyism that UK realy participated in the development.
There is articles stating UK is only buying them as well
theres no fanboyism on my part since i know neither the uk or germany can use the round…
What u talking about we can use the round.
Its developed for L/55A1 cannon.
Thats not the rheinmetall 130mm ammunition if thats what u are thinking.
Germany has not yet decided if the next caliber is gonna be 130mm or 140mm.
KE2020 NEO is 120mm
Buddy, quote me anywhere where i said i want in the game.
We were just discussing that the ammunition finished development, nothing with war thunder
Then you’re ignorant, nothing more, nothing less. German Army/the Bundeswehr was the one who requested for the development of a new Kinetic projectile, the fact the R&D is done by Rheinmetall is wholey irrelevant.
uk or germany can use the round…
In game? Correct, because it hasn’t been added.
In real life? Both can and will use it once the round finishes state qualifications.
