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.
Not confirmed for the Javelin. There’s been several sources stating it was a wanted option and wouldn’t be hard to do but there’s no Ajax that’s been seen with it actually equipped yet. Hopefully soon.
That’s true, but we’re also talking about a vehicle that hasn’t yet entered service, so it could be subject to changes. The fact that it has that turret that allows the Javelin to be added already suggests that it could be added to the game. It’s clear that if they want to put it as it’s generally seen, it won’t have the Javelin, but that’s for the developers to decide.
That’s the argument I made when I made the Ajax suggestion but I would expect the Ajax to be added without it at least first and maybe a (Late) model with it once there’s been visual made of an Ajax w/ CROWS-J. Similarly to the Puma and Puma VJTF, granted it’s a slightly different situation considering the VJTF is a specific model of Puma but either way.

Hopefully they add the heavy armour as a modification as they did with the Warrior.
I’d like to have the option for a lighter, faster playstyle
British IFVs are against the ToS

and it wouldnt hurt to go the route of the PUMA anyway, and have one without at 10.3 and another with at whatever BR they decide the Javelin needs to be at, though why I cant think of any reason why it needs to be higher than 11.0
