  1. The new Arquus’s Scarabee https://www.shephardmedia.com/news/landwarfareintl/eurosatory-2018-arquus-positions-french-4x4-requir/ A blend between Iron Eagle and the CRAB.
  2. Very good com. The modularity is very similar to the FFG G5 wich is very interesting.
  3. So, some countries can leave a crew a year to train. Funny.
  4. This roof hatch is the pilot place to drive when afloat. But, it’s not to be considered as a definitive layout. The AMVT is just a demonstrator.
  5. They don’t have back-up door with the SPz-Puma too. Maybe they considere the roof hatches as good enough. The thickness is strange too. Generally, it’s used as a storage area but not here.
  6. What ? Leclerc MBT are not last ! Makes my day.
  7. This is a lovely turret. It reminde me the Warrior-2000 Delco turret.
  8. I would propose to start from the Leopard -2 chassis. 1- considering the turret 22 rounds, I would segregate hull ammo rack from the rest of the crew. 2- I would try to have a flatter engine deck. 3- I would lowered the turret on the hull chassis. This is a good start. Of course, I would add Leclerc like fuel barrels. But after...
  9. You’re definitely right. It muste be very expensive to carry only a 6 men section. The Turkish ZAHA can reach a good success.
  10. Fire on the move is a little bit more complex than one or two points. It’s a whole of things to be considered. For instance, this is why GIAT Industries introduced the T21 turret. http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2014/39/1411842484-t72-t21.jpg It’s a Leclerc scaled down turret to upgrade older tanks. It was founded impossible to fairly upgrade a T72 like tank just adding a new gun, a new FCS... This is costly and the result is poor.
