Brought from the USA and used for training. They were German in everyway but flew with american marketings probably because that’s where they were based
FV101 Scorpion, especially now with the upcoming Falklands ground map
LAV-AT/ATM, more US ATGM platforms are long overdue
Avro Vulcan, with the addition of the B-52 and Tu-95 and Nuclear Escalation, more strategic bombers for other nations would be nice

If they were American Germany doesn’t have the right to get them, no matter where they were stationed.
If they were paid by Germany yes but for know I understand it’s that Americans loaned(?) some F-4E for training
They were German. That’s it. Shrimple as they are German f4Es. also iirc all were newly built for west Germany at the time
BMP-2M but smol

Cool, I’ve never seen this vehicle before.
It seems to be a Luchs fitted with the 25 mm KBA-B02 turret from the YPR-765. Was this a German-Dutch co-development, or was it a German vehicle built specifically to try to secure potential Dutch orders? I wouldn’t expect Germany to fit a turret they didn’t use themselves onto a prototype unless it was intended for potential sale to the Dutch.
History is weird but as far as I could find out it was developed for the dutch and later trialed by the bundeswehr but there’s like nothing publicly online but Fuchs are one of the most iconic German vehicles and would be a nice vehicle similar to btr80 for both nations
Anyway the vehicle currently sits in Koblenz with German markings
I’d love more information on it if it exists

It seems we (the Dutch) actually conducted some kind of trials with it, although I need to do some more research to confirm that for sure.
I did find this photo of the vehicle being compared with the YP-408, the vehicle it was intended to replace, and a MOWAG Piranha 8×8, which was also fitted with the 25 mm turret a vehicle i also dindt know existed

I’m actually considering doing it right now, since there are quite a few sources available in Dutch. It would also be a fun vehicle for both Germany and the Netherlands, as IMO both were involved enough in the project to justify having one each.
i also found seemingly a general timeline, although the links to the sources are pretty dead.
It would be a very nice little idk 8.3-9.0? Idk much about the turret system tbh
maybe a bit lower, it uses the same cannon as the japanese type-87 and italian Dardo both peak at about 90mm point blank so i guess 8.3/8.7 as its a big target with quite a weak cannon.
Also was the piranha based version, was that already known on here? as i also havent seen any mention of that version.
I’ve never personally seen it
GREATEST SUGGESTION:
Replace UCAV at top tier with FPV drone from Infantry. That way you can spawn a FPV drone and blow helicopters and well dug in tanks from cover.
