Boxer MRAV

[sp2c]

I really love the Boxer, it looks great. Does anybody know in which configs the boxer will be produced?

For now it will be just APC, Command and Ambulance afaik ... but since it's modular it realyl can be anything you want it to be. Just build a new module ... I think if you look at the concept art of the Finnish one with all the options you'll probably get the picture

I know only 2 versions that have been confirmed:

A ambulance module and the normal APC module for troop transport. However, I've read somewhere that they are planing a Module with a Mauser MK30-2.

Edit: forgot the Command Module, thx sp2c

that's a 30 mm chaingun right?

need 35 mm so that it can use the same ammo as the cv9035 but that's probably not such a big problem

[McLane]

I wish there were a version that is a Half-Truck - Something like that:



That will rock like hell why tehre are no more Half-Trucks today? In the WW2 these Trucks rules - the german ones, the russian ones and the ami-version too!

[oldsoak]

I think one of the South American states produced half tracks after the war. I understand that a half track offers no benifit over modern fully tracked designs.

The Rheinmetall MK30-2 is the revolver cannon of the Puma IFV.

I would prefer the RMK on the Boxer for EOD. The module might be an advantage for a lot of variants but heavy weapons with a lot of recoil are likely not one of them.

something similar to the French Ceasar should work just fine imo



that's based on the AMX13

No, it’s based on a Unimog truck.

That’s an AMX 13 based SPG.

my mistake ... should still work though

perhaps use the new M777 super ultra freakin light weight 155 mm howitzer

I think fitting the 155mm cannon of the PzH2000/AGM would fit great, but why should we need a Boxer-155mm if we have PzH2000 and AGM?

because of the wheels man

means a faster, more silent, cheaper and easier maintainable vehicle

I also think we should have a wheeled mbt and a wheeld aifv (1 for every 3 tracked ones, so for instance 1 division should have 3 tracked brigades, 1 wheeled brigade and 1 support brigade)

[Cygnus]

Wish we have these kind of hardware... I'd honestly preffer the version with a turret similar to that onthe Marder IFV of Germany. I'm pretty sure that will come in handy in Urban warfare. Just add a birdcage to protect against RPGs...

I'd preffer a split in the middle... 2 Brigades tracked the other two wheel IFVs...

should be able to take rpg's as it is but extra armour is allways handy (though if you add a birdcage it'll make the damn thing even bigger )

In the Southern Philippines these will be very handy... The Rebels and Terrorists have RPGs...
