FV510 Warrior IFV - Technical Data and Discussion

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).

Apparently there is an armor hole in the side composite through which you can overpressure the entire crew.

I know it’s not a big deal and it’s an extreme angle, but it still bothers me.

I know you got killed by some random guy and were confused enough to check lol. Yeah… that does not look good.


idk what are these 2 rods next to the coax mg but they should be modelled ingame , and right now they arent modelled

Two reverse gears visible (R1 & R2), because the gearbox is not bi-directional.
