I’ve been playing Sweden lately, and I am head over heels in love with the bushmaster and the bofors 40mm thing.

Looking forward to the 9040BILL, it looks like a warrior but about a billion times better.

Wish we had a bushmaster in the UK tech tree, they are glorious.

Time to research Australian vehicles for a sub-tree :D
The ASLAV uses a 25 mm bushmaster and the AS21 redback uses a 30mm variant

Just give me redback

Yeah they should add a south korean tree to japan and put one there, then give the UK and aus tree so we can get one.
Would be nice to have a good IFV to go with the Cr2’s

Told you.

As far as I am aware, when choosing a BMP for Switzerland, the warrior 2000 was recognized as better than the cv90

The BMP Warrior 2000 differs in the modified case on which the Delco tower is installed

Armored Warrior 2000 showed itself best in the Swiss trials. Its tower, supplied by the American company Delco, was the most advanced tower proposed. It was distinguished not only by modern sights of the commander and the shooter, but also by modern program functions, for example, by fully automatic tracking of targets. The base armor of the hull and turret was made of aluminum, as a result, the gross weight of the vehicle was 31 tonne, which is relatively small for such sizes. To increase the level of protection on top of the aluminum construction, additional sheets are screwed onto the bolts, possibly from ordinary steel. In addition, due to the large size of the Warrior 2000, its ergonomics was the best among all tested machines.

Being a new machine, based to a limited extent on the Warrior BMP, the Warrior 2000 had some growing pains that negatively affected the reliability of the car. The manufacturer of the most advanced of the proposed Swiss BMP, the British company GKN, brought to the attention of the Swiss army that all these problems can be fixed, but soon sold its defense units to Alvis. This company owned the developer CV90 armored vehicles, the company Hagglunds, and later became part of BAE Systems. Alvis had no incentive to maintain two different production lines for the BMP market, which ultimately led to the curtailment of the Warrior 2000 project.
