I believe Lv4 is the 25mm bushmaster variant isn’t it, with the Lav cannon and the stabiliser
I think every British Main would agree the best course of action would be two separate vehicles due to the comeplete and utter lack of top tier content besides challenger, the 25mm and its varying upgrades and modules and the WRAP2/TES(H) with different researchable upgrade Modules possibly even with its APFSDS round and maybe an export variant even as a premium

Just doing some research, I found that later warriors had been fitted with Javelin missiles, and seeing as we already have a tank with a fire and forget missile(Spike) a javelin wouldn’t be that far fetched, also it would give the Warrior better range capability aswell as being able to defeat more armour incase gaijin wanted to move it up to 9.0-9.3 ish
The dismounts were given javelins, they weren’t attached to the vehicle in any way.
The warrior was not added with thermals, that was a later addition based on a bug report. Gaijin added the warrior in its Granby configuration and really shouldn’t have thermals at all.

With the new vehicles passed to the Devs, we can see that the Patria AMV has been passed on to devs in the form of the Lockheed Martin UK 40mm variant with the CSP turret, this is the turret used on the Ajax which means we may see the Boxer and Ajax in game in the future which will be nice
Edit: Or they could just straight up give us warrior 2/CSP
They were mostly for the sake of reliability and improved service life rather than trying to get an increase in performance.
Brake failures when trying to stop up-armoured Warriors moving at speed on Telic became commonplace. Crews were being told not to exceed a certain speed to avoid putting the vehicle in a situation where the brakes might fail dangerously, but since WR mostly operated on roads in Iraq there was a proposal to govern the engine and outright prevent the vehicle attaining a speed where it would be unable to stop. Can’t remember the exact speed the vehicles were supposed to be limited to, but IIRC it was some way below 35mph.
So the TES(H) mod was to mitigate the brakes simply not working because the vehicle was too heavy.
Up-rating the suspension was also a factor in making the brakes more reliable but also mitigate other problems caused by adding several tons of armour, bowman and ECM. Namely reduced service life for running gear components: For several tracked vehicles operating in Afghanistan, stuff like track pins snapping, roadwheels cracking etc. happened well before they would normally be due replacing in the maintenance schedule.
A turret that’s used of the Warrior 2 / CSP. Ajax is being made by GD
Lockheed provided the turret for both Warrior CSP and Ajax
The Patria AMV demonstrator has the Warrior CSP productionturret on top of it while the Boxer demonstrator had a modified version of the prototype Scout-SV/Ajax turret on it

Modifications basically amounted to removing the panoramic sight and stretching the armour down vertically to cover the raised turret ring of the boxer module. Plus the Javelin launcher on the side.
According to Gaijin’s consistent style, they will only add Indian BMP2 and BMP2 improved models to the UK.

Was thinking about the possible additions to the GB line, thought about the Australian Redback IFV, kinda simular to the CV9030 in weaponry, might make a post about it.
What about that Lynx with Iron Fist? Whatever happened to that?
Not too sure about that since, Australia ended up declining the offer for the lynx, and went with the Redback IFV instead, I feel the lynx would fit more into Germany, as they developed it.
But it is Australia but didn’t they go for the Boxer after deciding that the tracked vehicles were too much of a hassle?
Well Australia uses, both the Boxer and the Redback, serving in different roles, the Boxer ifv I’m thinking maybe could be added, but I feel it would be a simular case again with how like the Canadian Leopard, is in Germany TT, or why the Australian Abrams is in the USA TT, even though they are part of the commonwealth.
More so I feel vehicles that Australia fields, that aren’t developed by other nations we already have in WarThunder, could go to Great Britain, but for those like the Lynx, Boxer or Abrams, would go to their respected nation where they were originally developed.
This is just helps reduce copy paste, and add more unique varity to each nation.
My guess, there is a chance they could get added, to fill in the TT gap for light tanks or IFV’s, but would hope we get some more GB IFV’s first like the AJAX.

I agree but seeing as we only now got Jaguar, things from 3034 will probably get added before AJAX
Well it looks like we’re getting both the AJAX and Boxer CRV Block 2, AJAX next update and the Boxer seems to be an event vehicle
It’s not a Block 2 at all, but the Boxer CRV looks cool and seems like it will be a great addition.
I should buy an air premium for the British TT but I’m going to instead waste my money again on a event Boxer just to have it. I really am an idiot
