Major Update "Line of Contact" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Neither were accepted though were they? Like they got looked at with a bit of a side glance and then the MoD turned down the turret versions didnt it?

and? the M10 booker was canaled should it be removed? the XM-8 never entered service either like being in service has never been a requirement

AFAIK the UK government turned them down?

“Economic changes” Vehicle tax? /J

Yes.

Who’s ready for 70 quid worth of Typhoons lol

And? We have vehicles that never got accepted into servce, like the Begliet, Concept 3, A1A1 L/44, Class 3, Leopard 2AV…

(real reason is because they want you to GE more RP)

Personally I want to see the VT-4 for Thailand since it’s the main Thai MBT. But I also want to see all VT-4 models fixed and improved VT-4 with side mounted ERA should be added to China.

Maybe even this layout, which covers more of the side.

It got a heck of a lot further down the production line and accepting vs the UK turret boxers look lol.

Also, the XM-8 actually got a contract, it got canned after a few were made for the US Army iirc.

I would say those vehicles arguably arent really British either, more so vehicles of foreign design that got semi thrown at the UK as a possible usage.

Yeah but those generally go to the nations that designed them xD

Who designed the Australian Boxer? Could it perhaps be AUSTRALIA for AUSTRALIAN requirements?

they were made domestically for the UK and after they were denied they were then tried for export, which no one bought them, by all accounts of warthunder they are valid tanks to add if you like it or not

also they are functional so there is the only real requirement for them to be added

The Typhoon that shall not be named for £100.

I’d kill for M8 MPF in game with APS and everything

Average WT enjoyer: Rank IX aircraft yeah

Next update RR addict: Guess what AESA aircraft they are going to sell for 90 bucks

I would personally choose they eat their words for a customer friendly cause than add rank IX and sell some F-16Vs

TBH I think it would be better in the German TT myself to give them a TT boxer lol, followed by UK TT to fill a gap.

Isnt it the same exact situation as with the Vickers Mk.11?
