Enough with this “Early” and “Late” naming, it smacks of laziness and tells me they couldn’t be bothered to do proper research.

Yeah exactly :D
Perhaps, but there were several “early” Lockheed WCSPs from different stages of design and prototyping.
That particular vehicle pictured with ERA (00 NC 36) was something of a mockup. It was converted by ABRO/DSG from the ex Verdi-2 demonstrator’s hull they had in storage to create the very first Lockheed WCSP demonstrator to take to DSEi and was just expected to sit on their stand. Parts of its roof were wooden initially, when it looked like this, with the very first turret design that had slightly longer but shallower “cheeks” to counterbalance the gun which was a 35mm Bushmaster at the time.
I’m not sure to what extent the VERDI-2 hull might have been rebuilt by the time they stuck that revised 40mm CTWS prototype turret on it. But there were a number of donor hulls available for the prototype stage by then, so it probably wasn’t necessary to use it other than for further static mockups like showing off the ERA fit.

The last demonstrator before pre-production vehicles were made with the production-type turret and modified hulls, had this turret (36 KG 48 was a FV511 command vehicle hull. Production WCSP have modifications for a large APU and revised cooling unit on the front-right side of the hull like Desert Warrior):

So basically the warrior CSP could mount the ERA and it doesnt actually matter what picture I used :)

Yeah. My point was just that if gaijin were to look at putting ERA on the Warrior CSP it would serve to look at the TES(H)/OES3 ERA installation since that’s how the armour was to be mounted on the production WCSP.
The ERA mounting on 00NC36 and WRAP2 Warriors differs a little by nature of being earlier designs, is all
Dunno about you but that “RO 105mm LR” thing looks like it could be quite entertaining.
Yeah, my personal favourites are the Verdi-2 and Warrior Rooikat combination

Verdi-2 does look fun
I mean we all love VERDI 2 I just feel acomically oversized gun is what we need on the Warrior

unfortunate thing about the verdi-2 is that the gun was a mock-up as it was still in development. There’s no proper design for the gun integrated into that turret.
The Warrior Rooikat is absolutely disgusting ☠️
I love it!

I think the concept of slapping a rooikat turret onto a warrior is horrible, but goddamn it just looks so good.

I think that TOTATIS is photoshop, cause they back ground very similar (1:1) and when i try to find more ifno about them. I only found MTIP

Definitely Photoshop
Yeah that’s the GIAT Toutatis turret, you can see it’s French camo. It’s an unmanned 40mm turret though, would be nice to have!
Illustrations of Warrior variants from Forecast International’s Military Vehicles Forecast. I’m particularly looking at the MCV/AA, which seems to be Warrior with the Sabre turret. The Sabre turret itself was only (please prove me wrong!) demonstrated on Chieftain.
