HISTORY
Test firing and off-road driving were part of the test program when the Danish Ministry of Defence’s Materiel and Procurement Agency and some international defense representatives gathered for the capability demonstration at the Oksbøl Shooting Range located in Denmark. The focus of this testing was primarily testing SIMA Innovation’s ring-shaped ammunition with European ammunition and vehicles integrated. There were a total of four companies, SIMA Innovation, KNDS France, KNDS Germany and Defenture B.V. who participated in this, along with some individual representatives from other countries who participated. An capability demonstration at the Oksbøl Shooting Range organized by the Danish Ministry of Defence’s Materiel in Denmark and Procurement Agency in cooperation with the Danish Artillery Regiment and SIMA Innovation.

This test demonstration provided an insight into the interoperability between the European countries and a competitive European defense industry. The event was made possible through FMI’s Open for Business strategy, which aims to support and promote the Danish defense industry. This event was made possible through the Ministry of Defence’s Materiel and Procurement Agency’s Open for Business strategy, which aims to support and promote primarily the Danish defense industry. To my knowlegde there weren’t more than this vehicle that was demonstrated here.

IN GAME
in game this could either be a nice light tank or serve in the role as an SPAA, compared to the R3T20 for example, it doesn’t seem to rely much on electronics, so i don’t think it should be too “weird” having it matching with that area of vehicles, with an br of around 6.0 to 8.0 more or less.
