FV510 Warrior IFV - Technical Data and Discussion

Depends on what the photo is trying to illustrate, and whether it’s sourced in a way that doesn’t contravene any secrecy policies.
Gaijin use the cockpit instruments for engine temps to extrapolate the thermal signature for jets, so I would imagine they’d accept a photo of a WR’s shifter that’s fully labelled with the available gears on both on the shift lever and the gear selection indicator, as evidence of how many gears it has - at least as a secondary source. Photos also get used to show vehicles could/did equip various weapons quite regularly.

But they don’t accept photos if it’s ambiguous evidence for what the bug report is addressing (i.e. without numerical indication or measurement to support performance claims from photos), or sketchy stuff that’s the result of breaching restricted access to the material (i.e. photographing sensitive stuff on military bases or in industrial settings without clearance to do so and publish it).

The Warrior VERDI-2. was wondering if someone wanted to make a suggestion for this? The VERDI-2 is an experimental variant of the Warrior which has a crew of 2, a rising commanders sight which allows it to observe the battlefield without exposing itself. it has the same protection as the in game Warrior, tho it likley won’t have access to any add on armour packages. It is armed with CTAI 40mm Autocannon, and the Starstreak misses (same as on the Stormer).

Was the gun a mockup?

I believe everything was fully working and operational as it was used in combat exercises/testing.

The VERDI-2 trials were carried out in 1994, which is before the 40mm calibre was decided upon for CTAS
The HCR journal from the time says 45mm, which is what the US and French had been developing.

There was a working prototype of that gun by 1991, but it’s not clear if the VERDI-2 trials used it rather than a mockup since the 2 week experiment was more concerned with software and optics than performance of the gun and live firings aren’t mentioned.

Would be a good little sidegrade to the Stormer HVM, Verdi 2 having 40mm CTAS Airburst ammo plus APFSDS and Starstreak or on Stormer having the option of LMM missiles with some AT and better AA capabilities.

One was submitted on the old forums. But probably wouldnt hurt to have it ported over to the new forums .

Would make an excellent SPAA/IFV Hybrid

New warrior variant:

Referring to my previous bug report Warrior front Chobham armour incorrectly modelled (updated), in which I identified that the front L-shaped armour sections on Warrior are identical to the side applique;

Performance vs kinetic and HEAT ammunition is significantly poorer on the front, which is currently modelled as a wedge-shaped block of composite armour.

vs 30 mm APDS

Working on this, if anybody has any sources the can provide it would be nice, I have Warrior MCV 1987-1994 but the CBR website appears to not want to work

Great video with all the cool warrior variants

Powerpack is either misaligned or too small, transmission drive outputs do not line up with the exterior of the final drive, and do not line up with the transmission access hatches on the UFP.

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.
