I am surprised they didn’t add naval maps with the F-14 addition.

Isn’t Sweden just an observer?

the fcas and the mgcs are 2 seperate projects, one can decide to go another path in one your are aware of that? they arent mutualy included in one another, if france and germany notice that they want to many different things in the tank design going seperate ways is the natural thing, and the new partners sweden, spain, and italy share the same needs on a tank as germany since they already use leopards. so collaborating on a new replacement is the natural progression

Yeah, I feel like naval maps for ARB are such a missed opportunity, especially with all the cool AShMs we could get and the sheer amount of new maps we would have to play on instead of just Golan, Spain and Vietnam all day

Yep, and its not exactly like they have to make new maps, we have several ASB maps that could be modified to ARB size

Man, I was hoping for more boats to get us closer to tech tree variants of naval scouting planes like the Walrus and Osprey

Going seperate ways and being excluded are 2 very different things.

France could end the FCAS collaboration as retaliation and I doubt Germany will develop a 6th gen aircraft on their own.

yes, but i don’t see dassault willing to continue with airbus if they see rheinmetall trying to go their own way when the situation doesn’t suit them (especially considering rheinmetall wasn’t even in the mgcs to begin with, it was purely KNDS stuff.

we can continue this in DMs tho, we are polluting the topic rn

yeah i mean going seperate ways, but that just how it is, france doctrine is different to germanys, they want lighter tanks while germany wants more well protected ones that alone are already 2 wants that dont realy go hand in hand together

you rule dont know rumour and round ups if u think this pollutes the thread lol

and dont know what u want to hear from me, i am just telling you the facts, germany was getting ready to seperate the ways for the tank projects and already made new contracts with spain, sweden and italy, that already exists

“Some issue with the vehicle”
Weird…wonder what is so big that stops them from writing a blog post about it :v

Well, as I read now, the main contractors: Germany (Krauss-Maffei-Wegmann and Rheinmetall), Spain (Santa Bárbara Sistemas and TESS Defence), Should join, but there is no confirmation yet: Italy (Leonardo) and Sweden (Saab)

Please…dont bring my hopes up

eh there is different articles , just took the first one, and completly overread the spanish company myself because it didnt sound like a company to me lol

Spoiler

welp from what i’m seeing it’s just a matter of “both governments want something but the industry doesn’t care”.
Cause i think some official met some weeks ago regarding this matter

It’s physically too large to fit into a blog post

It’s the Schwerer Gustav
