Gaijin doesnt like Britain having IFVs. Look how long it took for us to get Fox, Scimitar and DW.
Those wont be modeled.
This is the only thing I can think of. They dont want to add the Javelin, though Id still take a 40mm autocanon IFV at 10.0/10.3 like the PUMA or STRF 9040, or 2S38, etc over the DW. Maybe if TOW worked it would be fun, but just feels like a waste of a slot half the time.
Not necessarily, I could see this as being an additional selling point for the vehicle considering there’s a couple well-wanted vehicles equipped with them i.e. the ERBC Jaguar and M10 Booker. It offers a unique gameplay style for the vehicles, could be an update point like how we had the dozer blades, etc.
Yeah, that was painful. The DW is painful to use with its PMB 090.
And it’s crazy, the Javelin won’t even be that OP of a missile. It has a relative short range. Like you said, even then the 40mm gun with it’s unique ammunition would be more than enough. The Ajax AFV would likely sit at like BR 10.3-10.7 since it would be similar to the Strf. 9040C but can fire for longer periods which is going to be crucial.
I think they are just taking the FnF Ground ATGM slowly, I could see Javelin having advantages over Spike because of its top down attack profile and wont be fooled quite as easily by things like dead tanks.
4.75km is more than enough even for the largest maps in WT and even for knocking out the occasional heli if they stray a little too close,
But yeah, this is what Im after more than anything else, and there is the option to do what theyve done with the Puma. Add one at 10.3 and one at 11.0, would be perfect for augmenting both our 10.3/7 BR and our 11.7 BR
Agreed, but based on the Spike’s performance/implementation, I can see the Javelin struggling in the near-term. A bit worrisome.
It would fill necessary gaps. Hopefully we’ll see an Ajax equipped with CROWS-J soon. I know when I made the suggestion for it there was discussion on adding it and since then there’s been several deliveries of the vehicle but no vehicle has been spotted with it yet.
Yeah I could see it in 2027. If it’s not CROWS-J maybe they’ll add something similar. With the drone situation, maybe we’ll even see some time of IF-LK APS or something though, the few production Challenger 3’s which I’d expect them to have Eurotrophy don’t have it either so idk.
I don’t think it has APDS. I’ve looked all over and while there’s been discussion on it, I’m not sure if anything official came out. Most of what I saw was just the munitions utilized by the Naval version of the gun.
Stares at the VT-5 soon to be 11.0 with “only” a 105mm gun.
But seriously we need to get past this train of thought that the calibre is the most important. I think the Zorawar could make an extremely solid light tank at 10.7, maybe even 11.0.
