imo there’s enough information here to make a suggestion
This would be a really good addition to top tier US. But before that, I think they need to first fix stingers before it gets added at a higher br. Stingers can be slaved to IRST and can lock on once it gets in range. This will be great against helis.
This will also give us a chance to test Hellfire L’s without having to test them on helicopters
Currently away from any source of good info and my tech (hiking in the Backcountry), but i believe I have already tried making one and that with this+more info it didn’t go through. Perhaps thefe was a suggestion for it on the old forums?
Should we add something for which we basically know nothing about (NGSRI)
Uh, no.
Should we add something which is still in development, never mind trialshit (like the 2S38)
Also no.
Without NGSRI, this thing is basically an LAV-AD with a radar, which, while nice, doesn’t really fix what’s wrong with America’s top tier.
They should add Longbows, but that’s a different topic.
There’s the (X)M1211 30mm prox rounds for the M230 it could get.
Prox rounds at top tier won’t change anything either. Everyone is slinging 12km+ lock range FnF AGMs like MavDs and Gs and 8km+ range like Hellfires or Vikhrs. The only people you would touch with proxy are the loudest of the mouthbreathers.

Worst case it could blow up an incoming missile. Its meant for taking out small UAV’s so an ATGM is well within its capabilities.
You’re not wrong though that something more is needed, but unless its Russian Gaijin just won’t add it.
I’d try making it again. There are suggestions on this forum with way less info than your Machinery post
We have a new variant of the Stryker, The C-UAS-DE, which is currently in the Technology demonstration phase, this will likely help inform the layout of, or serve as the basis for a follow on program to the Increment II & -III going forward.
but overall seems like an evolution of the earlier attempt to unify the M-LIDS system onto one Stryker / AMPV chassis instead of two or more M-ATVs’.

This could be very interesting. It looks like it’s currently lacking any missile armaments - although I am a blind man so that could just be me not seeing anything. Do we have any more details on it? Or just the photos?
And again, while the DE concept is cool, it’s really only a concept for War Thunder. It’s not powerful enough to take out planes and until then, it can’t do much of anything.
It should have VAMPIRE turret which nominally consists of 4x (+ reloads) 2.75" (70mm) APKWS II w/ HE warhead (Likely to be testing the Proximity fuse), which you can see mounted to the chassis in the foreground just in front of the the Laser turret (26 Kw variant of the LOCUST), and between the radar (likely a variant of the AN/RPS-42 ) emitters in the first image in the prior reply.
Also the R400 turret that the demonstrator uses could also be equipt with a module to additionally mount an FGM-148 Javelin. Though I think it would probably have been better off retaining the RIwP turret of the Sgt. Stout for compatibility with a wider set of systems, though it is probably due to internal space / power / weight constraints.
That’s where the (X)M914 30mm firing VT fused DPHE (effectively the same as the existing M789 as found on the AH-64) with a fancy new dual feed system comes in.
Although this is true, that would have it sit (quite awkwardly) at the 9.7-10.7 range. It’s nice, sure, but to be honest I wouldn’t take it over the LAV-AD or XM thingy since they have longer range missiles which are to be honest quite necessary at the BR. If it got its Stingers, however, that would be a different story since it has stingers AND proxy rounds, a huge win.
I wouldn’t be so sure of that, the ability to provide what amounts to a team-wide anti missile barrier is potentially extremely strong. You would be able to force larger weapons to be pushed off course by destroying their control surfaces, and smaller ones could be outright destroyed by the DEW. Aircraft would be forced to get in close to destroy your tank before being able to bully your teammates, opening them up to counterattack.

WHY ITS NOT HERE YET!! lol
Don’t ask me; I’ve wanted it for a dang long while now lol.

The reality is, players must find the proper info because very clearly, the devs dont have a fraction of the passion for tanks planes etc, that the playerbase does.
