The KF-51 has less armour, that’s how they got it to 59t. Instead of relying on armour for protection, it uses StrikeShield.
oh yeah didnt have your nice book have a section about the KF 51 as well?
people rarely ever look at the camo tbh and you know it
oh right, sorry i forgot not every nation is stuck on gen 1 thermals, with gen ones it is better to look without them a lot of times
yes
last time i was in my type 90 a total of 7 players confused me all in 1 match with a leo 2A4 “did they buff the leo2A4 reload?” “bro how did the 2A4 turret stop my shell???”
the US has also a lynx that they ordered
yeah but that one differentiaties from original lynx way to far for my taste
and the development of that one realy is closely partnered with us itself, i consider that one more us developed
It hasn’t won the contract yet. The competition is still going on.
Wouldn’t be surprised if one of the KF-51 prototypes is being used to test improved StrikeShield for APFSDS defeating capability.
to say it the least it throws dust even if it sounds like a joke lol, basically it throws really tiny tungsten balls so tiny they pretty much look like dust and either destabilize the shell or blow the anti tank munition right before it hits plus if this gets added to wt it would be the first aps capable of working at 10 meters and capable of degrading apfsds shells
It would be nice if the Germans got a Lynx too, but much more I would like them to get a Boxer or two Boxers. One with MK30-2 cannon and SPIKEs as tech tree and Lithuanian version with Bushmaster Mk44S and SPIKEs as premium .

primarily i just want a system with Strikeshield, i fear german boxer wont get it either, seems it only was considered for the american one
Maybe, but they’re still in testing.
The current version of StrikeShield is only HEATFS defeating so far.
Time will tell when APFSDS defeating comes both to real life & War Thunder.
if we got the 35mm version it would use the Rheinmetall GDM-008 autocannon wouldnt it?
same stands for eurothrophy as ugly as it looks, at least eurothrophy has an automatic reload system

35 MM X 228 - MK35F or 35mm wodan cannon, not sure if it is the same with different name
hell i was thinking about it if we got the KF41 lynx for germany with a 35MM im fearing it would use the rapid firing gun 800 rounds per minute
thats then damn naval cannon lol xD
same gun the name for the cannon its Wodan in both just different designations for different countries
