I am also an IFV enjoyer 😄
My desire for NATO IFVs is to the point where I am considering grinding Sweden for the 40mm cancer lineup lol
I mean, just counting the NATO 30mm ones (that aren’t SPAA), Japan has two, Israel has two, Sweden has two, Italy has two, Germany has three.
If we include 25/35/37/whatever most NATO nations have plenty of autocannons, just not a bunch of 30mms like the China/USSR trees.
Spoiler
Only NATO, no SPAAs:
- US: 2x 25mm (+1x on AMBT), 1x 20mm (+1x on MBT-70)
- Germany: 1x 57mm, 3x 30mm (+1x on Turm III), 3x 20mm (+1x on KPz-70 and 1x on Leopard 2K)
- Britain (minus RARDENs): 1x 30mm, 1x 25mm, 1x 20mm
- Japan: 1x 35mm, 2x 30mm, 1x 25mm, 1x 20mm
- Italy: 2x 30mm, 3x 25mm
- France: 1x 35mm, 1x 30mm, 1x 25mm
- Sweden: 3x 40mm, 1x 35mm, 2x 30mm, 1x 20mm
- Israel: 2x 30mm
Only France and Israel are lacking in the autocannon department overall, but if we ignore the MBT-70 and AMBT, I would agree that the US is lacking in that department as well
However, if we count non-NATO vehicles in NATO trees and SPAA as well, all nations except for Israel are pretty well equipped with autocannons
I love those ones! Much fun 😄
Marder 2 ifv:
Best we can do is Marder 1A3 with nettin -snail maybe
Also Mowag trojan with 20mm
I still think it would be better for China to get North Korea as a subtree and South Korea for the USA. For one, the North and South respectively have a very close relationship with China and the US, both from the Korean war to the modern day, even reflected in the equipment they use - like the K1 being nicknamed “the Baby Abrams” or the use of Chinese components in KPA tanks. It would be a bit odd to always have one side shooting at the side they’re closely allied with in real life. KPAF aircraft would give the Chinese tree a boost with planes like the MiG-23 and MiG-29, as would the FA-50 Golden Eagle for the US, not to mention the plethora of unique ground vehicles for both that already share the majority of their components with either China or the US.
With the Shenyang F-5 I always assumed North Korea would be a Chinese subtree, but I’m happy to see the Koreans are on the way regardless. It’s a nice gesture to have them united, but from a gameplay perspective I think it would be better for it to be split into North-South subtrees. It wouldn’t be unprecedented either, since China and the US already have vehicles from Vietnam and South Vietnam respectively as well.
Anything about new ir missiles in this update like pythons iris t or mica s?
Well, cool gun that can change 35 mm to 50 mm with 400 rpm. I hope for this
Did the Germans use anything other than the 20mm? I know the Fins did but i don’t remember if the Germans did
30mm on the PUMA and the 37mm on the Bagel
*57mm
Sorry, I’m a bit cooked today
Mowag Trojan vehicle
Well read about RH-503
Im talking Mowag Trojan not the Marder 2, TC-200 is the 35mm Finland made and the TC-300 is a 25 or 30mm with a missile launcher. I know Germany also looked at the trojan iirc but only with the 20mm
What are the chances of Patriot system arriving
Right now? Nil
Understandable, US has to keep getting smacked by KH38 and LMURs
