Found an image on the AMAP behind the front two wheels which is very clear on where it is.

Isn’t that already on the armour model?
Right now, from the looks of it, 2009-2011 A1, 2012-2014 A2, 2014-Present A3 is what it looks like if we consider the RCH 155’s development timeline.
Modeled, sort of. Correctly? No, we’re missing plates on the back wheels and the plates aren’t modeled as AMAP. And the AMAP on the upper hull is considered “composite” when it should be Aluminum-Ceramic-Vinylester sandwich, then sandwiched between aluminum plates to hold it together.
It would need an effectiveness from 360 degrees against 43mm of penetration at 200mm, which it doesn’t protect against even 50cals at the moment.
I still don’t like how this drivers port is modeled. The fact you can shoot the gunner through the drivers port with a machine gun is, cool I guess. :)
Yea it is, 8mm steel
Almost two weeks, still no response on protection level. Don’t want to acknowledge valid sources, I guess.

Both vehicles got nerfed due to common base?
Vilkas — engine power has been reduced from 815 HP to 720 HP

While I agree with the above, we still get the same amount of vehicles as before. it used to be 3 vehicles at once every 3 months, now we roughly get one vehicle at a time each month. They aren’t making any more event vehicles per year than they used to before the new cycle; on the contrary, the old cycle used to have 4, and at the very beginning even 6 vehicles per 3 months.
Idk how people still think it’s more events than they used to do, it’s the same amount, just stretched out over 3 months instead of trying to achieve 3 vehicles in just 2 weeks.

Turret crew are still in the same spot, stanag 4 protection not even acknowledged, missing amap plates on the back wheels, no spall liner today, holes in model, stanag level 5 turret is stanag level 1.5 lolgaijin armor, labeled not a bug for the specific reason : “It’s up to an azimuth of 30 degrees.”, linking to another post that is entirelly irrelevant.

Still waiting for a reply on the mission and drive module being protected correctly.
Stanag level 5 at 30 degrees from centerline, definitely. Yeah just go look at this post without actually LOOKING AT THE SCREENSHOT. ITS NOT STANAG LEVEL 5 STILL.

It’s funny to watch how the developer placed the ammunition rack in the infantry compartment, at least sometimes use logic and don’t just scatter shells everywhere
Im loving this thing, with just dm33 unlocked, i got a nuke, and a gun kill with the nuke jaguar lmao
I ❤️ Go Karts with guns

Just remember folks - best to reserve judgement on this vehicle until a bit later on. Like all event vehicles, when first released you will be on teams of one-death leavers - because people will have this single event vehicle and no line-up to support it (even with a popular nation like Germany and ground being out since 2014, but i disgress). Wait a few weeks and the one death leavers will either get themselves a line-up or they will get frustrated and stop using the vehicle. Nothing worse than games being over in a minute because your team has already left.

Fwiw, I have not had too bad of a time with the event vehicle “noobs” this time 😄 Most are actually using it like a light tank and not running in face first. And LOTS of people using the scout button. Definitely not perfect, but better than some of the past events that I have experienced.

I can already give judgement on it.
I don’t usually venture above 9.0, but I gave it a try and was honestly quite surprised. In comparison, I absolutely loathe the Radkampfwagen, I gave up on spading it. But the Boxer is so much more fun to play despite having unlocked about the same on it as the Radkampfwagen.
I got DM63 for free and only just got the LRF unlocked, so still only about 30% researched.
I like how tall it is, because often I could find a spot on a map which would be just tall enough to hide it but I could still shoot over it. Or I can shoot over hill edge without much issues.
It usually survives being hit. I only take 16 shells, just enough to fill the turret rack. This leaves rear end of the vehicle empty. People keep shooting there for some reason. Reminds me of early PUMA days.
Paired with the TAM2C and Mig-23MF, it’s a perfect lineup. Doesn’t get sucked into top tier and DM63 handles full uptiers well.
The teams are surprisingly decent and consist of only about 50 % Boxers at most. Seems like not that many people grinded it out, or alot of people will be selling it instead.
Though I gotta say the camo selection is poor and the democamo is not that pretty TBQH.
That being said, Radkampfwagen is barely a 9.3 vehicle, they should seriously lower its BR.

So, where’s all the people who said the Boxer MGS is a good event vehicle?
I have nothing from one 10.3 tank I need line up to grind…so yeah in that regard is pure useless garbage
Otherwise I think its nice for scouting and blizkrig rushing.
Neither, with the terrible acceleration on stock, you gotta suffer and rely on scouting at long distances and maybe causing some damage with the HEATFS round.
The situation would be different if Gaijin never implemented that terrible wheel interaction to the terrain, making wheeled vehicles unreliable in most scenarios.
This vehicle never should be event, at least tech tree that’s a better option.
