Looked into it, first time the image popped up was by Nicholas Drummond on X, one of his proposed options for a new UK SHORAD.
Visually looks like a CTA-40 with a goalkeeper CIWS Radar and LMM bolted on as well as a Giraffe IRST and onto a Patria.
Artillery mount. It looks like a Coastal battery on wheels.
Reminds me of this thing.
Yeah some sort of similar base to HIMARS, Boxer is much more appealing though.

How about next week :)
I cant see why its not war thunder worthy. Sure, driving a sph twice the size of a roland truck with a gun that only has rear clearnce is meh, but its a 130mm cannon, a very deadly one on that sense.

Definitely a 16" I think would have been better.
The US 14/50 does not hold its penetration well historically as its a lighter projectile. At point blank the penetration is good. But it seems to be drastically overperforming in-game which I’m fine with for now as its what sells them. But Navyweps at least show ~370mm of pen at about 10,000 metres (8,200 actually).
But in-game they hit 493mm of pen at 10,000 metres which is an absurd difference.
But even historically the ships’ penetration dropped off to lose to for example the 14/45 on the KGV class at what appears to be all ranges despite those guns being built for accuracy and barrel life before penetration thereby sacrificing muzzle velocity.

Either this week or next week.
Nice future French AA you have there :)
Germany and UK both have similar vehicle to add.
Also the RapidFire will become the new standard gun type for the French Navy’s second-rank ships (supply ships, ocean-going patrol boats and future mine warfare ships) as well as second artillery for 1st-rank ships.
So i guess we didnt solve Gszabi’s riddles since 10 still has question marks next to it. Guess the rcv was wrong then?
US should get iowa class in gulf war refit lol

Gaijin will use the excuse of the Desert Warrior to not add any British IFVs for the next 20 years

Fire and forget: You fire the spikes and the spike forgets what they are supposed to do.

He said that somebody other than gaijin asked them to hide it for now

Eh either way still makes me feel pretty meh for this update, guess we’ll see what other disappointment gajin has in store
There might still be some not leaked additions for the update, like there has been for the previous updates, hopefully.
But yeah for ground this leak list looks pretty rough and dry. I was personally hoping for some more top tier MBTs that aren’t for Germany and Sweden.
I want an actual finnish TT vehicle that would be actually useful but its a premium as usual and some fun stuff for my japan air. Though the OSA for italy looks cool though Romanian is interesting

Is it not already in service with the navy? Besides, considering Britain’s ability to integrate the CTAS 40 (or lack thereof) they’re much better off just letting KNDS handle everything lol.
would be a really cool AA truck lol
Using Wikipedia as a source I came to the results that Ajax will have more or less 21hp/t (so it’s mobility should be similar to the first Warrior which is pretty decent), while puma has 25.3hp/t.
