Still, he may appear in the game. TOG II moment…
There is murmurs that it did get put in a Rooikat turret. Either way nothing much seems to of come of the project.
The word deadly is much more suitable in this case.
If Denel kicks the can, there is a chance that enough info comes out for its addition.
Maybe just the muzzle velocity is needed and then you can waffle that Israeli license produced ammunition would be used.

I mean, it was supposed to be put in the MTTD. Just never did, or so we know for now.
is it time to ask for an egyptian f16 for the russian tree? atleast as a squad vehicle or a premieum…
The brits have the T90 for india and france has an f16 for belgieum
its about time to start adding egyptian stuff for russia
btw im not egyptian … xD
Wouldn’t it just go to the US, since Egypt isnt a subtree of russia and the chassis is US origin?
Strv 103D
This thing would be an interesting option for the next ground vehicle event, apparently with the info i found, it’s an STRV 103C with add-on NERA armor playing as the STRV 103D prototype.
However, it’s visible that it is missing the heat fence, which is a factor in the STRV 103C.
The minimum info i found about it’s armor is that it can withstand 690mm against CE threats and that it has 45 metric tons.
It would still fire the slpprj m/80 APFSDS, i couldn’t find any ammo upgrades.

Wasn’t the NERA add-on just a mock-up tho? i do remember seeing mention protection and such but no idea if it was just estimated or tested

i couldn’t find anything that says its a mockup.
The strv103D would also have incorporated a new fire control system with a thermal optic seen on this test bed, so it would be a combination of both this and the one with the additional armor

Apparently I can’t read lol. I think it would be well to sit at BR 8.7, very latest 9.0.
9.0 is a stretch, apfsds already tears through strv 103’s like paper
I agree, I was basing it off the current Strv. 103C @ 8.7. They would likely add it to 9.0 bc of the thermals and such unfortunately. Pretty much what they did with the Leopard A1A1 (9.0) and Leopard 1A5 (9.3).
Eh, without a stabilizer or good mobility it would be DOA especially with how many city esq maps we have. You wouldn’t be able to play it on 90% of maps
Yeah I think it should stay at 8.7 but Gaijin will 9.0 it I’m sure of it. I use it on urban maps regardless of how awful it is for it lol. Such an iconic vehicle
Thats if gaijin ever adds another. Considering how much they seem to want to ignore the hull aiming which has been broken or the fact that only the Strv 103O can actually aim down all the way despite being bug reported months ago. Its not like the strv 103 need to aim down anyways

You’re forgetting the 1A5’s LRF (over the coincidence of the A1A1) and access to DM33. It certainly warrants an increased BR.
Type 85III
China and Yugoslavia cooperated, and on the basis of the Type 85IIAP, they used Yugoslavia’s 1000-horsepower engine and Yugoslavia’s fire control system. The explosive reactive armor was China’s own first-generation explosive reactive armor.

A wheeled assault gun equipped with a 125mm smoothbore gun, Bustle-mounted Autoloader and hydraulic suspension was displayed at the Zhuhai Airshow in 2024.

I did forget about the LRF but ammunition is a controllable variable Gaijin uses. I still think they would raise the BR up. Not saying that’s what I would do but it’s a historical trend with a little bit of leeway.
