Article from 2017 listing the design philosophy, and giving the rof of the three round burst. From my understanding there is a 0.53 second delay between rounds due to the shell removal system
Might be able to get one from Dewald Venter.
Don’t ignore the second video. It reaches theoretical 98 RPM in it.
They never fire the Belt in the video, but if they did i assume it would fire like the Amek 30, so just dump the rounds in a single burst, as you have just removed the controls for single and burst fire.
It does, I was using the video to show the three round burst mode, which is a capacity given by the feed system. The rof in that second video doesnt change the point, sure you have rof of 98 rpm, but then your out of ammo in 32 seconds, so have to spend the next session either firing once every 2 or so seconds, or awkwardly waiting for your ammo load to replenish. Its basically like how the RARDEN is is in game now, minus the fact you can just keep threading rounds in, so the realisitic rof is way less then the 115 advertised as the guns theoretical top with the drum feed system.
Verdi 2 and warrior CSP are the only 2 that should be added.

None of these are in service with the UK’s Army, or SA’s for that matter.
RCT-30 is also a Germany exclusive (only ordered by them), Sampson is a Lithuania exclusive. None of them have been tested by the UK either, as UK considers the 30mm to be too weak and instead opted for a casetelescoped 40mm design.

Which is a lovely gun the rotating breach and loading system is very impressive
But they were considered at some point, which is more than the addition of certain vehicles to trees as is. The video source is a UK government source, so its not like some random video from someone on the net.
yeah quick check, it has been considered by the British, but they have an express favoritism towards the sampson system

it is sad that we only get another spud gun for britain whilst other nations are getting their atgm carrying ifvs. this vehicle should either have the missile attachment or they should have added that one patria amv with the 40mm and 2+ javelins. there is a decent amount of ifvs to add to britain like the ajax with 1 javelin, the boxer with the 40mm and 2+javelins, the dardo hull and british turret prototype (idk what it is called) do better gaijin

Yep like France Gaijin wont add the CTAS 40mm…Instead we get this and it’s missing spall liners and variable rate of fire…But sure thanks for nothing
So judgiing by dev it is basically vbci mct30 without thermals but with 4 crew at 9.0. Meanwhile cv9030fin without tracking, lws, speed sits at 9.3 and gets thrown to 10.3. And vbci mct30 sits at 9.7. Gaijin is decent at balancing as usual
Wait ot has no IRST and no Thermals…
What a pointless addition
It does have tracking on dev server currently

Mad that it has tracking but no thermals that must be an oversight?
Thermals dont really matter for me. Im mad that cv9030 is worse in every aspect than this and sits at 9.3. Same about 9.7 vbci, it sits there for no reason
CV90 is tougher and thermals absolutely do matter.
I wouls trade 0.3 BR increase for commander and gunner thermals
Cv90 is not tougher than badger because badger got 4 crewmates dispersed in turret and hull while cv9030 has 3 crewmates placed close to each other which means badger has higher chance to survive apfsds from mbt. In hulldown combat it also lives longer thx to 2 crewmates hidden in hull.
Also I looked again at dev stream and saw thermals in modules (didnt notice thermals during one of dev streams). It makes cv9030 and vbci even more worthless at their br.
