its exactly that. they discussed the replacement / additional vehicles to fill a AA Role.
Soviet tor finally. And osa for germany and ussr
Seems duplicated to Roland(both)
The real crotale for france :
and since trailer mechanics were added a little while ago now, i think this could come too
not needed for now though, just my biases talking

Whats the 1st vehicle called?
Its M270 MLRS’s chassis
yeah i noticed that but is there like an official or unofficial name for it with the crotale?
There isn’t any separate name for this configuration. It’s just known as Crotale NG.
M987 + Crotale NG. The combination of both doesn’t have a name, and documentation is pretty rare, just a few photos
It was a functionnal prototype, but was never adopted for full production (unlike the trailed version)

Its more unique then a copy paste Finnish vehicle but for balance, idk if id take that over the Ito so maybe best to leave it as is.
it would be a bit more mobile, but somewhat bigger profile.
That’s more dev time for almost the same thing. I’d be happy to see it, but i agree it’s low priority
I’m just a SPAA maniac who would love some back up X)
In that case replace the ASRAD with the fin ish service version which has it on a truck rather than the m113 prototype. I like truck spaa
What? Since when? I NEED THIS.
Modernization project, think one prototype was made but abandoned because of cost or something
Unsure if the prototype was fully functioning as intended

The only problem is that we have no evidence it existed, we know plans were drawn up (Just like the Soviet modernizations for the ZSU-57-2) but nothing about an actual vehicle.

Plus… theres no real point for it to be added… it basically forms a similar addition to the veak 40
9K33 Osa, depending on variant would have 9-15km range. Self contained with search & tracking radars. Only downside would be the low carrying capacity of 6 missiles.
Also, it floats!

This looks like it’ll float as well as a led brick.

A little, but apparently it’s capable of floating in that exact configuration.
What SPAA is most likely to come next update, based simply on the fact we are getting AMRAAMs?
And try to be realistic, and i want some low tier stuff too!
