I think they should swap the turrets over

There’s also some differences with the state of the hull
The production Block 2s (and Block 1s) have different wheel hub covers, different driver’s thermal viewer, mounts for ECM on the front above the headlight, and cladding over the equipment racks that hang off the back of the vehicle
Realistically they wouldn’t have the StrikeShield APS either - it was rejected for being too heavy and Aus have been pursuing Iron Fist - Light Decoupled, or the newer Iron Fist - Light Kinetic instead, but are yet to integrate it.

It’s probably best left as the demonstrator, and simply renamed.
Give us a tech tree one when they model a proper Block 2 for the German sWaTrgInf

the driver is quite safe :)

What’s Ajax armour looking like right now can anyone provide some screenies?

Definitely not ready. It can’t even withstand 14.5 AP !!

This is probably because half the armour is still aluminium.

It got some dev updates apparently but idk if it changed much

Yes, the ufp fell off again. They need to screw it up properly.

The engine cover is gone again, added 44mm of 7039 on the rear (can only be seen through the gaping hole in the engine block), 25mm of steel on the back-door, you can now see that the base armour of the driver’s side of the front is 38mm of 7039 with 12mm RHA applique, same for the hull roof. Turret applique is now counted as external armour showing that most of the turret is a base layer of 10mm of 7039 with 20mm of 7039 ontop. Think the turret might be missing some applique coverage on the roof too?

Also its still missing alot of ammo from what I’ve read up it has 140 rounds in the ready rack and 400 rounds inside the hull ?? Does anyone have any more information that backs this up ??

btw to you and everyone else, since the ufp is missing you can check both sides of the rear plate and notice it’s double layered(!!) giving it quite incredible strength actually

Maybe if you stuffed the whole hull stowage with ammunition boxes.
Otherwise, it’s the Armoured Fighting Vehicles Schools Regiment down at Bovington, giving the numbers bottom-right

Starting to suspect most of the vehicle should be thin RHA with HHRA applique, the aluminium values seem way too thick for the actual visible thickness in most of the photos.

Ahead of the patch, I decided to check out some of the reports from the ever-respected Mr. Flame2512. Here’s what I got.

Still 30mm

This is assuming I don’t mention “the underslung cannon doesn’t fit into the Hawk 200 RDA’s chassis niche.” “Oh, but here’s the same Hawk 209, and it fits.” Oops, I mentioned it.

StatShark say “no change”. It still flies like a brick. Which is funny, because I heard this plane was called maneuverable compared to the A-4. Good luck trying to be maneuverable compared to the A-4 in WT. It will humiliate you at any speed.

No, technically it is possible to display an image on an MFD, but only with a TGP, so it doesn’t count.

I might have misunderstood something and don’t see the documents this player posted, but what I see in the report description is simply a comparison of the physical sizes of flare A and flare B, from which he concluded that flare A is overbuffed. Remember that word. Assumption.

Why “remember”? Here’s why.

I think I saw a thread about something similar. But I don’t remember who wrote it or where it disappeared to. I suspect it was deleted.

Yep, they’ll nerf things without evidence instantly and then expect a 50 primary sources and 2-3 years to undo said nerf.

some good news, looks like Ajax gets HHRHA everywhere now

Boys we are so back

So far I’m pleasantly surprised with Ajax armour, the sight change is very welcome, 6x would have been awful.
Just need the spall liners and it’s should be a nice edition. Finally some nice food.
