Would love to see this get added to the game. France has always had a strong presence in the armored vehicles industry throughout history, that should better reflected in WT by adding vehicles like this

Im still waiting for the AMX-13 based self propelled howitzers like the 105mm AMX Mk 61 & 155mm Mk63 F3

Do you think Gaijin will release it in the near future or is it too modern and ahead of its time for War Thunder ?

That’s up to Gaijin, really… technically, if they limit themselves to the features already in game, no, it wouldn’t be too modern… it would simply be a fast light vehicle with an autocannon and F&F missiles, like several others already in the game.

If that’s the case though, a lot of real life features, especialy in the optronic department, would be missing.

Gaijin it is now three years France has no high tier IFV you have Spikes modeled Gaijin add it to the game

There were some datamine circulating around lately indicating that the CTA 40 Gun was gonna be implemented in the game. Even if it isn’t the EBRC, its implementation is on the right track, and we may see it sooner or later.

Small article (in french) regarding the development of the proximity fuzed airburst ammunition KE-AB

It seems the development was split between a light version (KE-AB P33, for 330 grams of pellets) and a heavy version (KE-AB P66, 660 grams of pellets)

As far as i understand the first one is for export for now, and compatible with the jaguar gun, while the second one is specifically made for the rapidfire being currently developped.

KE AB P33 is said to have a max 3000m engagement range and is designed with self defense against drones in mind, while P66 can engage manned or unmanned aircraft and cruise missiles up to 4000m.

P33 has reached the TRL6 step while P66 is TRL5, with full scale production starting in 2027 and 2028 respectively.

If the Jaguar comes before, i suppose it could still get its chronometric shell (GPR-AB-T) for air targets, although it would be a bit less efficient ?

Depends

A fully realistic Jaguar would have an edge in terms of awareness compared to the rest, because of Pilar V especially

CTA is a boosted 40mm gun, so acceptable
F&F Akeron could also come as its equivalent (spike) is already in game

Armor and protection wise it’s nothing stellar, so no issue

LWS is already a feature in game

Basically the 2 only questionnable features is the ability to pin point gun shot types, heading and distance with Pilar V, and the NLOS capability of Akeron

Just realised the excellent suggestion that was passed for consideration a while ago still isn’t mentioned here. If this vehicle is ever added, this discussion will surely regroup all the research and debates about balance, so may as well start on solid bases ; might not even be a bad idea to add it to the main post @SHARKZ :

Oooooh. Gimme gimme.

Good work. Now we wait 'til the end of times for it to be implemented in the game.

The Freccia got added over two years ago, EBRC could have been here for a while but Gaijin is most likely waiting for it to be exported so that they can add it to germany instead.

Only been exported to Belgium and Luxemburg so far

so french sub trees basically.
Hey if they want to do the copy paste and add a 3 Jaguar line up, I for once won’t be complaining about it

Ireland could soon purchase the Jaguar too.

the more the merrier

that vehicle needs a bit of economies of scale. Half the Leclerc’s price inflation adjusted is not cheap.

Also i hope DGA can qualify the A3B soon, because that’s going to be necessary considering the drone proliferation.

The Akeron MP should finish its integration and enter service on Jaguar at the end of this year / beginning of next year

Damn i would cry of joy if i could only play stylish french autocannons at top tier, i like them so much compared to the boring MBTs
