FV510 Warrior IFV - Technical Data and Discussion

you get long ranged maps?
I mostly get city maps for some reason, so :shrug: I’d rather be ready for the inevitable city map than the rare chance of not getting one

oh, oh no. i get cqb maps 9 out of 10 times. the only difference is i have more than one nation. gives me the unique advantage of simply being able to leave and go play another nation while i wait for my crew timer to run out. i simply dont play bad maps, which sadly is most of what you see. its why im tending towards sim at this point as its not much of a difference when it comes to ground combat and im able to fly cas well enough to not die in seconds.

Eh, while I’ve got other nations to play, somedays I just wanna play some warrior matches, (or type-16 or Italian shoe box etc etc etc).

So… Desert Warrior is confirmed for the next update

Report: Warrior IFV Should Have Gen 2 Thermals 🧐

whoop, looks like we might. M919, and TOW-2 (regular, -2A and -2B) to boot. Looks like a lot of fun. Can’t wait

Well

  1. Through the ESPIRE programme, the Scimitar Formation Recce vehicle has been upgraded with the Thales third generation Catherine MegaPixel (MP) Thermal Imager into the vehicle gunner’s sight. The design includes the integration of the Battlegroup Thermal Imager (BGTI) displays and fire control computer that enables the upgraded gunner’s sight to resemble a BGTI configuration benefiting from the BGTI support infrastructure. The reliability and high resolution imagery of the Catherine MP has received plaudits and is making a significant contribution to surveillance operations, providing longer range target identification and aiding the identification of IEDs.

That was used to give it Gen 3, im looking for the report

Could someone tell me how many missiles the Desert Warrior has in total? Also, does the vehicle have spall liners?

4 missile and no spall liner

That’s regarding the Scimitar though rather than Warrior. Post 2008-ish UOR fits inside the turret for Scim 235 (then later on the Mk2) were using BGTI displays and gunner interface to replace the obsolete ESPIRE+TNTLS systems from the baseline Formation Recce Scimitar. But the sight heads, imaging core and other fittings weren’t lifted from BGTI.

He’s correct that the STAG sights for BGTI on Warrior and Scimitar Close Recce were not Catherine MP. They were roughly equal to Catherine FC in terms of technology.

Engine is still the same model :(

is it meant to have a different engine model? what would be the differance.

We should report to have spall liners. Both Warriors should have them.

From Military Ordnance Special Number 16, Warrior Machanized Combat Vehicle, John Prigent, p. 23.

Warrior:

It says: “The interior of a Warrior section vehicle. The troop seats are black as are the seat backs. The wall spall liners are a pale gray while the roof ones are buff-colored”

Desert Warrior:

It says “ABOVE: A general view of the troop compartment. The spall liners are light green, khaki green seats, and a buff roof lining.”

Also, from the manufacterer: Spall Liners | Composite Spall Liners For Military - Permali

All compartments are fitted with spall liners.

Engine model is wrong. The radiator is in the open “maintence” position. they’ve then shrunk the engine to fit

Spall liners would be super cool

would make it real interesting as it may make the added armour actually worth it.

Would you mind reporting it, @Gunjob?
