what do you guys think off these vehicles.
Aces Tonemapper with Gamma control (?
They definitely should be added and would support the French Tree (considering BeNeLux is in the French tree now).
Also can’t forget the Leopard 2A6MA2 (even though it’s leased):
LAV-AT and LAV-ATM could do that tbh
When
DAF YP-408 PWAT
DAF YP408 106 mm TLV 2 options
It is not leased. It is used as part of the unification of armies, it is still German and the Dutch military is not allowed to use it (Without a Ger tank commander)
not tru here is the official website of the dutch military
Leopard 2 A6 battle tank
The Leopard 2 A6 is a heavy battle tank intended to create superiority on the battlefield in an attack, delay or defense. This 60-ton monster is the most powerful weapon system of the army. Thanks to the cooperation with Germany in the 414 Tank Battalion, 43 Mechanized Brigade can use 18 modernized tanks from a common pool. with full dutch crews
Since it is Dutch, why do they use German markings and serve in Lower Saxony? 😂
They will never accept that these tanks belong to the Netherlands which they do.
they are under the 43 Gemechaniseerde Brigade station in Havelte the Netherlands
the fire range for tanks is in lower saxony the are in the netherlands or overder but official home base is Havelte the Netherlands
The Dutch in French TT was the least required decision. Belgium would’ve been enough. Now we’re basically getting straight German vehicles in French TT. But Canadian Leos in Brit TT was too much for Gaizilla.
Spanish CAF M-41/ 60 E
Upgrades included Cummins VT-903T engine, Allison CD-500-3 transmission and the 60mm HVMS gun.
The Indian SPAA variant
The tall structure is due to the entire complex of the AK-630, which includes the 2000 rounds magazine, whereas AK-306 only has a much smaller 500 rounds belt stored inside the turret.
AK-630 is also water-cooled compared to air-cooled AK-306.
Well, either way it works out. The tank can go for the Dutch and the Germans. The Dutch has operated a full crew on them and uses them along with the Germans as said in the Ministry of Defense’s site. I see this as a win-win
