There’s one APFSDS for the Rarden, the L21A1 APFSDS made by Rhinmetall, it’s basically their 30x173mm APFSDS (PMC287 etc), recased into a 30x170 case. Pretty much intented for export only.
Unfortunately noone has found any record of the MOD making an order for some :(
Yeah, never ordered, just no operational need.

There’s only a little info around on it for now, the round was accepted as the L21A1 in I believe 2009.

is it just me, or is the Warrior just completely missing a front towing eye, one of the FPE pull covers and one of the bolts on the driver hatch is really tall.
Edit:
I just made a FV510 Warrior mega report on the bug report page. Feel free to check it out and add anything to the comments if you so wish! thanks.

This bug report was meticulously crafted along side someone who is in the military, and actively operates and repairs them; so hopefully it will be good enough for the snail. Any additional info and sources would be great!

that’s deffo a bug. the Milan has its own guidance system not linked to the main gun, so it should work fine despite the gun not having LoS
I can’t make a bug report. Can I rely on you? There is the same bug on Ratel 20 too

even with the bgti and OES3 you could still keep the milan, as it is still compatable with the system. however current SOP’s are for the commander to have several NLAW’s to use instead

correct. they usually store NLAW’s around the turret cage at the back of the crew compartment, and if they see an enemy vehicle, the SOP is to fall back, dismount bods and engage using NLAW if they need to engage at all.
bug report on warrior transmission has too many gears
half the reason the warrior feels so slow in the game is partly to do with its acceleration. in the game the vehicle has 9 gears forward and 4 backwards, when in reality it has 4 forwards and 2 backwards.
fixing this would and should double the vehicles acceleration in both directions.
unfortunately the only source i can find that’s not classified/sensitive is my own experience of 10 years on the platform

the ammunition was tested and approved however outside of testing the round was not used/ supplied as the vehicle hasn’t been used in conflicts since
the BGTI sights can be stabilised, however when they are they are independent from the gun so cant be used for 30mm aiming
its a shame that gaijin don’t accept official documents as proof of service as evidence enough to prove some of these things… The amount of issues we would have fixed, by people who have operated Challenger 2, Warrior, Bulldog, Scimitar, etc, if they would just accept people’s MoD cards combined with some other non classified documents as proof lol.
even the photos of the warrior you can find online don’t count. im convinced they just hate the UK lol they cant even get the Dorchester on the right side, or the MANC either.

could we not ask someone who owns a warrior? The youtuber mr hews owns a warrior hull he has worked on so shouldn’t that be enough evidence for it to have 4 gears forward and 2 back.
WT simulates gears in a funny way by doubling the number of gears. Won’t change.
