XM2001 Crusader

Game Discussion Realistic Battle

1

The XM2001 Crusader is a modern SPH that was going to replace the M109A6.
In game it will be like a Amerikan
Panzerhaubitze 2000 with a slower reload but with composite armour instead.
The XM2000 has an autoloader, composite armour, LRF, and a full stabilizer.
The US needs another SPH for higher tiers like Germany, USSR, China, and Sweden the Crusader would be at a Battle rating of 7.7-8.7. The XM2000 would be a fun vehicle that might be added.
The Crusader would make a 9.0 or 9.3 lineup for Amerika it would be better then the Starship with a shorter reload but no HEAT and worst armor.

Autoloader, LRF, composite and fully stabbed? It would probably have thermals too? Should be like BR 10…

Late WW2/early cold war BR’s are already ruined and infested by these arty vehicles, we don’t need more.

Better poll

I think it should be above 8.7 at the least

First of all, it’s the XM2001. The resupply vehicle is called the XM2002. There’s no XM2000.

I spent some time researching the Crusader in preparation for a suggestion, but gave up because I couldn’t find specifications for the magnification of its direct fire sights. In fact I have found no evidence that it was capable of direct fire (unlike PzH 2000 et al.), nor any suggestions that it had LRF or, as you claim, a full stabilizer (the last I find exceedingly implausible; AFAIK no SPHs were ever meant to have a stabilizer). Sources would be appreciated.

Anyway, some more info dump. Sources aren’t particularly reliable, but its the best we’ve got:
Crew: 3
Max speed: 68 km/h
Weight: 50-55 t
Engine: LV100-5 gas turbine, 1500 hp
Armour: composite; possibly .50 cal proof based on contemporary light composite armour tests
Rate of fire: 10-12 rpm
Elevation: -3˚/+75˚, 13˚/s
Traverse: ±20˚, 10˚/s
Muzzle velocity: 958 m/s

Okay thank you I just really want the US to get a fun SPH for higher tiers.

So why no suggestion?

I think that could be done maybe in the form of M109A6 or M109A7.

All my submissions got denied

But the Crusader is just so much cooler

Alright which engineer was it that kept making these emo-looking prototypes? First the CATTB and then I see this

Probably because it has zero sources, not in the suggestions tab and poorly put together.

I tried to put it in the suggestions but it isn’t getting accepted.

See?

Then reach out to a suggestion moderator to find out what’s wrong with it so you can adjust it to an acceptable standard.
