The British Army (Circa 1995)

Now the question is, since you seem to know some of the changes in the DLC, are you agreeing with me, or is this actually happening?

I was agreeing with you, I have no idea if this change will be in the DLC or not although I highly doubt it.

Plus they only need one kill to get their value back (and then some). Very cost effective if you get them in a good position.

So in the cold war canada invented a Heavily armoured tank destroyer with thinker armour than a challenger mark 1 as well as improving tue BRITISH javelin to a starburst. SO CANADA WON THE COLD WAR?????

I feel like eugen is just trolling us now. Next thing anzac get RAPIER 2000

No mate Anzac get type 45 destroyer and infantry squads with fgm148 javelins AS50 sniper rifles and Starstreak missiles

I think I found myself a new avatar...

I also produced it in a 'special edition' version just in case the need arises:

With this latest mini dlc I got back to thinking about some of the units i wanted to see in game from UK/Commonwealth. I was really hoping for the Vickers VFM-5 and the Vickers Mk 3/4 as well as Mk 7, 7/2 to make it in as Commonwealth tanks in RD, one can easily conceive of NZ/Canada being interested in the VFM-5 and both Australia and Canada would be excellent candidates for the Vickers MBT line.

My motive for suggesting the VFM-5 is because it complements the amazing LAV-III/ASLAV based cavalry force that is Commonwealth motorized, it provides the opportunity for an amazing mobile 105mm cannon support vehicle to back up the proud scorpion and cougar light tanks. I can pretend I'm playing a stryker brigade if we get this one unit.

The Vickers Mbt 3/4 and 7 or 7/2 provide a very capable set of tanks that meet or exceed the performance of the Leo 1 tanks currently in the Anzac/Canadian arsenal. We know the Australian army trialed the M1 among other vehicles and there is of course the eventual use of Leo 2 tanks by Canada, far from being paper chimeras these afvs would provide an exciting bit of extra muscle to these medium tank armed nations. The Vickers Mk 7 is a fascinating combination of a challenger turret with on a Chobham armored Leo 2 hull, the perfect mix of British resilience and German precision, definitely something to appeal to Canada and Australia. These tanks would likely not exceed the performance of Challenger 1 variants and would provide national muscle to these national decks outside of the context of the coalition. It's a shame they weren't brought in instead of things like the chimera.

Im going to shit a brick if the new unit is a CAT C fighter. I am happy with literally anything else - 99.9999% I'm quite sure it will be Warrior MILAN though. So something useless (unless its Milan 2), but nevermind. Warrior MILAN 1 is just a functionally useless "look good" unit, MILAN 2 would be raw killing power. Shame that the RARDEN is so though.

Milan 2 entered service in the British Army in 1984 and all were produced on license in the UK so its unlikely the 1990 Warrior MILAN would use a MILAN 1. It must be MILAN 2.

Right?

RIGHT?

RIGHT???

[GBNATO]

I would imagine so.

[Rorschach]

Question is, will the Warrior Milan be a new unit, so we get 3 Warriors? Will it have the armour of a Warrior 90? I'd hope so.
