Further regarding the power pack model, the third radiator (intercooler?) is incorrectly positioned inside the exhaust/engine fan housing and should be on top of the engine, directly beneath the top radiator louvre.

I still want them to add more warrior variants. there are SO many they could add. 40mm CTAS, WRAP2, TES, Verdi 2, just to mention a few. The Warrior, much like many other British vehicles seems to have been forgotten about and will only get updated when its direly needed and not a moment before.

It hasn’t even had its internal model updated yet, Its still missing its front left towing eye, the right side FPE flap, and its missing a turret basket among other things.

You should update your schedule. It was removed from it a week ago. Keep your schedule up to date next time.

Yes that turret seems to have made the rounds! It’s been put on Marder, the MOWAG Trojan, and Warrior 2000 hulls.

The turret is Rheinmetall’s E4.
The Steyr SP-30/300 is the one that’s on ASCOD Pizarro/ULAN. The Rheinmetall turret was evaluated on Trojan along with the Steyr and Oerlikon ones. As was the Delco turret, in the form of the Patria TC500 version of Trojan offered to Finland.

Cheers, me and rulan were trying to work out what it was called an settled on the steyr, so its good to know the correct name.

Will update my list when I get home

Still bugs me that the front left towing eye/step is completely missing, and the right side FPE pull cover… and I think that screw/bolt is still sticking up out of the drivers hatch too…

when you remove the composite, that red cover isn’t there. never has been, but should be. The front towing eye WAS there, but Gaijin cut it off and never put it back and its been missing for years.

Im genuinely surprised Gaijin haven’t just added the Warrior 105 LMT yet. Warrior hull exists. Rooikat 105 exists. put turret of rooikat onto warrior. bosh.

((I know its not that easy, I’m sure they are missing information, but the parts to do it are available I believe.))

I have a question: When are they going to change the mobility of the entire Scimitar family? Because they have a better power-to-weight ratio than many tanks, and they turn much better than the Scimitar family.
And even more importantly, when are they going to change that stupid sideways roll when you hit the turn buttons, making it impossible to make precise turns, and causing you to roll excessively sideways when making small corrections to go straight, losing a lot of speed.
Returning to the Warrior topic. I think it would be interesting to add a more advanced Warrior model, or even better to add the Ajax, since the UK is really short on IFVs, when other countries have the M3A3 (which would be interesting to add even more recent versions), the Puma, the BMP-3, the CV90, etc.

is there much data available about the Ajax’s armour?

Well, I don’t know how much armor it will have. I imagine, and it’s also mentioned in the suggestion, that it will be the typical armor of modern NATO IFVs. Front capable of stopping 30mm APDS-FS and sides capable of stopping 20mm APDS,of course, with composite armor.

keeping in mind, if it gets added we dont know if it’ll be the standard ajax, or the heavy version. (or both)

Light

Heavy

So depending on which they add, they will have different armour cause the sides.

I would expect the more heavily armored version. The most interesting thing is that it has a stabilized 40mm cannon and an FGM-184 Javelin Missile launcher mounted on the roof’s guided mount.

Straight to 12.7

Anyway, whatever version they put (if they put it at the end), I would stick with the one with the barracuda.

Sounds good to me; after all, it’s a vehicle that’s supposed to enter service in 2026.
Another vehicle that should be higher in Br is the BMD-4M, which is around 2015.
I am an advocate of BRs being based largely on the vehicle’s entry-into-service date.
