I’d like to see the Tandem-HEAT HOT-3 missile introduced to the VCAC MEPHISTO and have it bumped to 9.0, making it comparable to the AFT09. With BeNeLux vehicles being added, there’s bound to be more 9.0 vehicles to support this vehicle’s push to 9.0. This is France’s only current dedicated ATGM carrier, give it the firepower it deserves. There’s other ATGM carriers that can fill its 8.3-8.7 gap in the future.
SuperHind Mk.V , a upgraded version of the standard MI-24 SuperHind (Mk III) , its got a completely new front end, cockpit (similar to the latest Cobras), avionics and ammo feed system. Â They’ve even gotten the weight down by about 1100kgs by replacing the armour with composites. Â The old fuel/engine managment system (145kg) is replaced by one the weighs 45kg and so on.
gun mount and optical sight is still the same as the original on the other end.
All could be within the existing BR ranges and be defensible as they’re all supersonic aircraft.
B-1 Lancer is the minimum with flares/chaff.
I cannot speak on Tu-160, and I lost my Mirage IV notes.
Two things, proper French CARC coloring and Digital Patterns available to all applicable PRC vehicles. I don’t know why these haven’t been a thing/corrected.
An example of an possible ATGM carrier that could come via Belgium is the FV107 Striker from the British tree, there’s also the million other things mounting the same turret as the MEPHISTO
uuuuuuuh not really for the mephisto turret , it’s way more restricted than other weapon station’s , that doesn’t mean there are no other vehicles that uses it , exemple the Panhard VCR/TH
but TBF anyway , you dont need the mephisto turret to ba abble to fire the HOT missile , and option’s are defenetly not laking in that part
Spoiler
UTM-800 turret/weapon station
Lancelot turret/weapon station (multiple prototype version , and production version)
others …
and once again , wee dont JUST HAVE THE HOT , wee have other stuff that used other missile , no matter if it’s from french origin or not ( Kornet E , ZT3 INGWE , Spike , TOW , AKERON MP , Javelin , Milan , and for lower BR’s the SS.11 , SS.10 and ENTAC)
An extremely rare SPH.
Sherman-based Ro’em SPH prototype, equipped with an ML-20 152 mm cannon [ ( The cannon likely captured from Egypt.) It is the only known photo of the vehicle. ]
