This turret was made by the US-Army. 8 hours ago, Mighty_Zuk said: The 35mm system the CV90 and Lynx could take is also compatible with the 50mm gun and ammo, but if they want to impress, they have to show it in real life, not just say they can do it. The real difficulty is the US-Army seems to call for a « never seen before » elevation. Just to remind : BAE’s got another turret available for the CV90 : Of course, this is a 40CTA, but, maybe the US wanted 50mm can be integrated.

I try to read every message in this thread but I seem to have missed this. The following video has the GDLS rep clearly stating that the turret is designed by GD (1:21 mark). The 50mm gun, OTOH, is being integrated with ARDEC's help (1:13 mark) and the 85° elevation capability is their answer to a request/requirement by USAR.

Serge Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 And here : The nearly 40 ton Griffin III features a remotely-operated turret the U.S. Army’s own Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) developed, which is armed with a 50mm cannon from Orbital ATK, now part of Northrop Grumman. This weapon is substantially larger than the 25mm M242 Bushmaster cannon on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. [...] The Army has also developed the turret with modularity in mind, which could allow the service to install smaller guns in a portion of the fleet depending on the intended role. Not surprisingly, it can already accommodate the 30mm XM813 cannon found on the service’s up-gunned Stryker Dragoon wheeled armored vehicles. http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/24114/one-of-these-big-cannon-toting-armored-vehicles-may-replace-the-bradley-fighting-vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SH_MM Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 M60AX protoype? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade334 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 That's a possibility, though that hulk is lacking the two "grooves" on the turret cheeks. Also, I don't think they ever put that M60 cupola on the AX's commander hatch. Additionally, the back face of the turret on the hulk is canted, whereas the back of the AX' turret seems flat. If anything, the hulk's turret has more of an early M1 turret vibe (with the short storage boxes on the sides and a pedestal for the wind sensor on the back) than an AX... It could however be some intermediary step between the two, a precursor to the M60-2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M60-2000 used a modified M60 turret, which I was inside when I took these photos as part of my job. The 120S mounted an M1A1 Abrams turret on an M60 hull. Similar concepts, different execution.

Renegade334 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 So it is a M60-2000. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scolopax Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 A pic of it appeared on the WoT forums a while ago and we could never figure out what it was. Nice to know now. Are there any historical pictures of the M60-2000? All image search results I get for it bring up the M60-120s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade334 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 No, most image queries will be polluted with well-known pictures of the 120S (many of those pics will be screenshots from Armored Warfare; the devs have erroneously used the 120S pics to model their premium "M60-2000"), the Super M60/M60AX, the Magach and/or the Sabra. EDIT - an interesting detail: another AW forum member, Jarink, suggested the vehicle seen in the background here could possibly be a M1015 Electronic Warfare Shelter Center (based on the M548 chassis) due to the presence of a grounding rod on the front. ^--- M1015 with ELINT-gathering AN/MSQ-103 "TEAMPACK". Note the grounding rod at the front. ^--- M1015 with AN/MLQ-34 "TACJAM" communications jammer. Note the more modern grounding rod with square box, similar to the one in the first picture.
