(Rooikat ZT3/35mm) Exploring the Exporting world of South Africa

Suggestions Ground

SAPHEI is only used on the shitty EMAK 30

42

Is there a source for the ammunition being produced internally?

43

Yes, the screens I posted are from Denel brochure. While HEI are based on Oerlikon ones, APCI is a unique thing to ZA.

44

can you send a link so I can add it to the post?

45

I can send it to you later when I get on pc. It’s not a link, but a digitalized brochure that I was given.

Eglas 35, ZA-35 and

Haven’t heard about it before but from what I see from a quick google search seems to suggest it would have been like the Ystervark’s gun (can’t remember name rn)

48

Now that i think about it, it would be a very good vehicle to have at like 9.3 or 9.7 between the striker and the desert warrior

It would probably be better than the Desert Worrior because it can (at least in theory) fire on the move and also fire the later ZT3s like the A2 and B versions, with a tandem or proximity fuse respectfully

I am surprised that it has not been added yet… Rooikat is a really good chassis and the ZT3 launcher is really good because it is high portfolio for hull down and has 1000mm pen with tandem warhead. The only issue I have with it is the 35mm gun, which is a great gun with great RoF but lacking of APDS. I would say maybe 9.3 or 9.7 if has good thermal.

The high RoF 35mm gun sounds scary but its lacking of apds. It cannot even pen T-72 side armor. If gives it apds belts then I’m ok to put it at 10.0 but afaik it never uses apds.

55

The Rooikat 35 could have a EMAK 35 with a 100 rpm (same as Badger’s GI 30) but 35mm APDS or APFSDS and fire on the move ZT3A2s with tandem or ZT3Bs with proxy fuse both might have a tandem 1000mm pen with different fuses. The Rooikat 35 would be a BMP-2M with proper mobility and not uncapable of using the ammo like APFSDS

+1 and -1 because I a can and it’s multiple choice

Would it just be the base ZT-3 or can it use ZT-3A2

57

Probably ZT3A with DM13 APHE stock then should unlock ZT3A2, ZT3B and DM23 as modifications. Would likely have the GA-35 so might not get 35mm APDS
