True. I was just basing it on the VBCI-2, which I know is overtiered. Just saying in what aspects it’s superior.

I’d like to see the wing mirrors on CTWV removed.
I hope they will offer higher front base plate thickness and Spall Liners. Boxer armor can’t stop 30mm apfsds, and I don’t think an armored weakened CTWV can get to stanag lvl 6.
Considering that there are not many IFVs can defend 30mm apfsds with armor, the Spall Liners is still very important, hopefully it will be added to the game as well

I wouldn’t call it weakened. I’d even say it might have more KE focused armor.
Essentially I believe the composite armor on the Type 16 is only that with recessed bolts, while the armor without seem to simply be hardened steel plates. The CTWVs male heavy use of such armor, which would help their protection against kinetic projectiles.
And that, combined with spall liners and the 5 crew might make for a rather survivable vehicle.

Maybe, but I don’t trust gaijin, maybe the thicker front plate and spall liners were not implemented, the crew was weakened to 3 people, and if that really happened, all was lost

NEW information, CTWV ICV received a new type 24 designation
Obviously RCV will be called type 25
Clearly, warthunder players are once again ahead of the Earthlings when it comes to using the new vehicles

In regards to the composite armor, are you talking about the LFP armor? The Type 16 side plates have recessed bolts as well, but the plates seem to be containing something.

Bad news, the RCV (P) shown in the Russian live stream is a manned turret…
That’s not a problem. Everyone knows the RCV is a manned turret. But I hope it’s not a wing vehicle, but all indications are that it is, I’ll wait for the dev server and find out

IRL it is manned turret, ICV turret is unmanned

the sad thing is it is a squad vehicle, and that means pay or grind for a mounth and more. and in this update jf17 is much attractive if i want pay to unlock, that’s sad.
but in other way, it just a weak hull with weak gun… they not give her fuse ammo to anti air, normal apfsds not verry good at AA, so maybe just waitting the without (P) version …
hope the next next patch we can have tai-line or other new highend tech vhicle for morden games
