Not a plane, so sh4d0wcan’t like it 😅
I was hoping we could get the T40 version with the CTA 40mm and Akeron atgm. So we could finally have a light tank at top teir. Its a bit pointless having x4 Leclerc and 2x Leopard all at 12.0 and no light tank tank for cheap CAS spawn…

Same chassis for base but if you look closer you’ll see that the premium one has it’s UFP modelled with 2 angle while the standard vbci has only one angle. The number 2 only bring small upgrade over the first iteration that can’t be seen on the video or picture.
For the turret part, actually as it is optional following client request it’s not really relevant to determine the copy and paste
So why is there no atgm for this thing. France really could use some kind of vehicle capable of using a drone and some kind of atgm or spike missle either one.
It’s great to finnaly see a tech tree IFV for France. It will be at 9.3 I guess. So it mean the devs can move up in BR the VEXTRA with it’s correct APFSDS.
Large wheeled vehicle with nothing but an autocannon are literally free kills, you will have better effect on the battle spawning an spaa, like the amx 30 DCA is right there…
Sadly the 30mm apfsds rounds have crap penetration and post pen effects :(
I really hope this will be where we starts to see more French light vehicles added into the TT. French irl greatly relies on these wheeled platforms.

We need the 40mm CTAS in game and pray Gaijin do not butcher it!

As a French Main yeah we really really do… I mean the FR top tier is not bad but it is boring since you are essentially playing 4 identical leclerc for ground vehicle…
VBCI40 and EBRC puma will really help with it.
Gaijin it has been 2, almost 3 months since this vehicle was added and the APS is STILL not functioning!!
Why advertise it in a dev blog and not add it to the game, especially when the same APS is already on the AMX-30B2 BRENUS?

True…
Hello,
Totally agree.
And before we are told “open a bug report”, someone already did… 2 month ago.

Hello,
Reading the changelog for the next update… Nothing on the VBCI.
The APS is modelized, already exists in the game, was advertised in the devblog for the VBCI, but is not in the game.
It does not seems a huge task to correct this feature
Multiple bug reports are open on the matter, yet it seems that it’s ignored by the team.
@Smin1080p_WT : I don’t know if you have a visibility on that topic, but will it be fixed for this update?

Idk much about the system but is there an EIREL-NG and is it mounted on the VBCI unlike the EIREL mounted on AMX-30B2? Maybe they’re trying to narrow down any capability differences unless they’re the same system? Idk.
I hope it can get all figured out soon, I’d hate to have the AMX-10RCR get added in the future and not have the system implemented on it either:
- Could be added at BR 8.7 and foldered with existing AMX-10RC.

8.7 with no stabilizer? Maybe
Yeah, I was gonna say 8.3 but there’s no way Gaijin would add the AMX-10RCR which has more armor and the EIREL APS, at the same BR as the AMX-10RC. At least imo.
Fair and valid, AMX-10RCR, ERC 90 and more VBCIs are long overdue too with the addition of this VBCI

Absolutely. Waiting on my ERC-90 F4 Sagaie and VBC-90G, my beloveds lol.

Hello,
I checked today and saw that the EIREL is now on the X-ray view (APS 20° horizontally, 10° vertically, same as the BRENUS).
Tried it on the test drive, and it worked (well 2 times out of 3 because of the huge size of the VBCI and the short distance to the M901 you can still be hit).
So thanks to the developpers for the correction!
I still remember that time when VBCI was added, I faced a missile carrier and just waited, overly confident, for them to shoot (and miss me)… Just to be failed by the then-non existent APS.
I still have that emotional wound.
