I guess it is too late for a Battlepass Devblog today?
I feel like gun based CIWS vehicles would be a lot more useful than a rocket/missile based one (dunno if that would still be called CIWS or if it is a C-RAM then).
Would still be neat to have tho
The CIWS and C-RAM pretty much the same thing aside from a few minor differences. At its core, the hardware is all the same (same gun, same radar, same gimbal mount, etc). The C-RAM is the army version, and they are mounted on trucks like the HEMTT or in fixed positions. It also fires a HEIT-SD round, which self destructs after traveling a set distance to prevent collateral damage. The CIWS is the naval version, they are just mounted on ships, and they fire an APDS round.

I am aware that at the end of the day they are very similar and do mostly the same job, but CIWS and C-RAM seem to be used interchangeably these days, they do the same job after all.
Maybe I should just call them point-defence systems, but then people probably don’t know what I’m talking about lol
I’ve seen APS being called CIWS, Skyranger and Pantsir being called CIWS, C-RAM and SHORAD, etc
Either way, more nations deserve to have something that can actually shoot down incoming bombs and missiles!

Sergeant Stout my beloved. I want this thing in game so bad
There’s also this thing they could add, the JLTV C-UAS, which is pretty much the same thing but with no hellfires, instead having the AGR-20F (laser guided hydra with an added IR seeker and proxy fuse), and being put on a JLTV instead of a Stryker.

Wow. They’re really trying to throw anything else in but the BR changes.
Is the marketing team really that afraid of facing their own BS?
The world wonders…
