XM246: The American Gepard!

Well not that thing

I was thinking about the Type 87, PGZ09 and Gepard

Advantages? I guess it has stronger hull armour. Disadvantages? Everything else.

No advantage then, since nobody will shoot these things in the hull

I mean it really is just small differences though, it’s a bit slower than the gepard but has more armor. I mean what is even the point of argueing over this? Can’t we just be glad that US is finally getting SPAA after years of neglect

a pixelated image of a cat with the words true true i agree with your statement below it
Also i cant wait how Gaijin models Phalanx (246 uses its radars)

48km max speed, 61mm side pen that for the BR cant pen M48/M60 base vehicle, as well as T-54+ side

I am, and no APDS and HEVT is not a deal breaker for me

The turret armor though, I hope they fix that.

It’s supposed to be ~38mm all around, same layered armor as Bradley

Then I will be happy

Dont keep your hopes up


Should be 40, but gaijin knows better.

Also should be 40.

Love how this absolutely demolished the Sgt. York in trials yet America proceeded with the Sgt. York because it had a bigger round.

Pardon my ignorance, but wouldn’t fixing this issue be a matter of simply switching some numbers around?

It’s been 6 months already, gives me no hope they take the turret armor of XM246 seriously

Thats what i would think, but as you can see on provided example, it takes more time.

How many AP shells does it get?
40 like the Gepard?
