No F-15 uses the APG-77. The F-15C that we were talking about (The APG-63(V)1), is what I was referring to. For sensor integration, it’s pretty simple. The TCS and IRST connect to the radar and RWR. These also have higher resolutions due to the massive PTID the F-14D has. For the RWR, it’s just older tech. ALQ-135 vs ALQ-165.

Sorry to bother you, but in the dev blog it states “the Badger IFV tops off Great Britain’s light tank line” does that mean there’s going to be a slight shuffle of the UK tree? As (at least at around the BR of similar vehicles to the Badger already in-game) the UK doesn’t really have a singular LT line per-say. Or was that just more of a figure of speech? In any case I hope you have a good day, and I’m excited to see what else comes! Ik it’s unlikely by my heart is holding out for an FV101/FV601

Let alone the multiple IFVs that would easily be a higher BR than the Badger

A future reshuffle has never been ruled out so to speak, however the “light tank line” is currently the line featuring the Fox, Scimitar and South African vehicles. Right now that line is not changing at least for the time being.

Any perticular reason why Gaijin went with an IFV at a BR where the only other vehicle we have is the Tracked Rapier instead of later, more modern and/or more capable IFVs like the Ajax, Boxer or Warrior Verdi II (40mm guns and for 2 of them, FnF ATGM to match the Spikes) for the 10.3/10.7 BR range?

Its annoying that even after this addition, we have no answer to the 2S38. Puma, etc etc

Smin I know this maybe a nothing burger but as you know stuff like that perks my ears up, just to warn you.

bonk no canada or australia subtree for you

Well not them but perhaps some Indian tanks ?

that i am open to

How about some British ones?

Ah cool, was just curious as there’s 2 or 3 arguable LT “lines” in the 9.3-9.7 BR range of similar packages to the Badger, most of which with a “better”/higher BR tank capping them off already, thought you/Gaijin was moving the Olifants & TTD over to make it into a true LT line for a minute there. Thank you for the response!

Why not split the difference and hope for a Vijayanta 1b/vickers mk1 improved model :p

Yeah though if Indian tanks does come then I hope they’ll be in the Vickers line

well those could be added in the current one without reshuffling

We haven’t said what BR it will be at yet. IFVs are useful not just on their given BR but as scouts on the BRs above.

We also dont just add modern top end vehicles at the max BR. Badger was a very commonly requested IFV that many wanted to see. The reaction to it today has also supported that.

You sure? Honestly feels like it in air

It is weird because the Badger really shouldn’t be higher than 9.7 while both the SA line and desert warrior both have vehicles at a higher BR than that.
