For DRV our man @edfrancis001 is the best bet but it’s a case of when the brochure can be found. Don’t know if there are any other documents out there too, but it may be worth asking MoD if they have anything left from the evaluation.
For warrior CSP, so on topic :P
I believe these are composite, I believe the latches will be to allow the removal of the composite in those sections so you can gain better access to the engine bay. The bottom latches allowing the removal on the frame from the bottom section. The big block in front of the driver has no latches as there is no hatch there, so no need to remove it quickly like the other two blocks if needed in the field.
Picture to show how it would cover it up.
The left side where the driver is, is where any additional protection would be considered more important. It’s the same shape as the additional armour on our WRs, and the same amount of coverage extending up the hull in front of the driver. So that does suggest it’s purpose is protection. But I’m unsure of it’s purpose on the DWR because it has that separate dust cover over the top of it that makes it look like stowage - possibly for jerry cans (water) like the boxes on the front of Oman’s Challenger 2 turret.
But could just be an extra cover there because it’s part of the driver’s walkway to access the vehicle (using the stirrup on the towing eye, and that hand-hold to pull yourself up), and egress. And the exposed mounting bolts for the armour were considered a trip hazard.
The right side with the hinges is almost certainly toolboxes. It’s where the picks, shovels, hammers etc. are on our WRs. And during the Iraq war, stowage boxes from CVR(t)s were repurposed and fitted in a similar way on some of our Warriors.
On TES(H) where we do indeed have additional armour on that side as well, there are still equipment boxes mounted there on top of added armour
nice but it says that file doesnt exist
Did i read warrior csp my beloved… it also could be called Warrior 2 due to several displays referencing the name
yeah i agree with that opinion it could be that only driver side has L composite plate under shallow toolbox and right side is only toolboxes or it could be that those toolboxes are shallow too and have composite plate under
also i noticed that those 2 ports next to the mg dont have those 2 idk what it is but they should have
and also this i already wrote about DW should have dispensing of the shell casing out of the upper port where under is mg
What’s that about 6 infantry missiles?
Warrior. British Combat Vehicle Tracked by Carl Schulze also mentions it. A “roof-mounted laser detector”:
It would be nice to find one DW fitted with it.

yeah but i think its only some sort of misunderstanding maybe from tech demonstator bcs DW has only one pole on turret and thats GPS pole antenna
Yeah, it is just an optional equipment
is it just me, or are the tows on the Desert warrior useless? the bloody things just fly randomly for me, if they don’t smash into the dirt over correcting towards the centre of the sight

It’s probably a combination of the missiles trying to stay in the crosshair after being launched from the side of the turret, and the fact that TOWs got physics with the major update

The atgm changes were “realistic” apparently… All they’ve done is make vehicles that rely on them much harder to play

Gaijin has repeatedly nerfed ATGM vehicles and then not corrected their BR’s accordingly

From what ive been able to tell, they drop a WHOLE lot more than the ones on the dardo, may be a bug we could get fixed which would make them alot better at hitting closer range targets, and would be able to get on target alot quicker. Still think it was a stupid change adding a drop (which isnt seen IRL or anywhere else apart from maybe on the early russian atgms). Yes, misisles were a tad op at low tiers, but a fix for that would have been move them up, not just making a whole lot of missiles usless up close and firther out than 500m (Most of mine just start to over compensate so much they lose all inertia and fly off to the side).
