tho it made me remember it could be cool rounds got anti ERA abilities and special features like for example Type 10 shell and the K-279 shells wich are the only tungsten alloy shells that can self sharpen like depleted uranium or like M829A2, idk if war thunder ever has this feature or if they plan to make it in a nearby future
That would be unfortunate.
Much like CV90120 tho, I do not expect the 120mm version to sell to anyone.
shouldnt we see the finished KF51 version maybe on next years eurosatory?
They said 15-18 months until series production originaly
germany does seem interested in buying the KF51 but not yet of course, they are just “interested” but that’s it nothing more
The swiss hunter was designed and produced by the UK, and operated by the Swiss, but the German TT got it.
Germany already has plenty of IFVs. But you want another lmao.
tbh i would’ve liked the UK got the swiss hunter first i really saw no reason to add it to the german tech tree first anyways
Congrats on missing around 99.9% of everything else said in this thread over the past 2 days.

i doubt they will, they just bought 2a8, and KF51 is a very bad move politicaly for the EMBT project
If it doesn’t sell, Germany gets it in WT.
If it sells to Germany, Germany gets it.
So either way we win on that front.
If it sells to another country, but a different modification, the original modification can still come to Germany.

Dude, you missed the plot.
We’re talking about prototypes & proposals of different variants of the platform.
It was manufactured in a south african ship yard, it wasn’t a tech demonstrator. all the rooikat prototypes were made in africa, and were all concept provers, the the 3p just lost out. The th800 name gaijin has given it in game is just fictional history revision to justify their addition of it to Germany. Its something you can look up really easily, and is hilarious that gaijins gaslighting is being parroted as fact:

Why waste my time when your opening premise is pure hypocrisy?
You point to the chally 2E and vickers mk7 as export vehicles, when neither of them were ever actually exported, so there literally isn’t another country they could go to. I’m sure if someone had bought them GJN would have jumped at the chance to give the UKs best Chally (2E) to another nation.
still dosent mean i wouldnt like a version of the KF41 to be added into the game maybe the crewless turret version

i think intrested KF 51 parties currently are ukraine, slovenia and hungary even. Should be no problem to give slovenian or ukraine version to germany
That is a fair position, IMO, and there’s no precedent in that regard as of current.
35mm, unmanned turret, aps system, spike thrower would be the best case combo

i just highly protest against a standalone ukraine or even subtree, where would you stop what it gets? the whole top tier would be a clusterfuck

Where’s the hypocrisy? In your self-delusion that “most german mains” defended the Hunter F.58? I myself suggested day 1 to replace it with the AJ ICE back on the old forum, and I didn’t find all that many “nation mains” rejecting the idea.
What happened instead is that two sides fought (French mains and German mains) for who had closer ties with Switzerland, the Brits were ignored as always - nobody came to a clear conclusion, and the voices of people asking to replace it with an actual German jet were ignored by Gaijin because “it was made to plug a capability gap”.
It’s always nice to blame the players who had something forced onto them tho, ain’t it?

Coolio, remove them in that case.

rheinmetall presented a LOT of KF41 versions and one of them was presented like the PUMA but better (mells system, lws, strykeshield aps, same armor package, crewless turret, etc) there is numerous versions of the KF41 it really depends on the devs wich to add and that is the reason why i am with shini on maybe adding it to a next update but not this patch, and im cool with hungarian one staying as unique one for the italian tech tree

funny enough it looks pretty much the same as the hungarian lynx so if they added it, it would be a wacky tank “hey shoot at their turret its their weakspot”(nothing in the turret)“wait dosent the lynx have crew in the turret? i think that’s the german one” “oh shii-” and then proceeds to get wacked by the 35mm and spike
