Britain Makes Worst IFV, Asked To Leave NATO

Decal affiliate link: tinyurl.com/42thwzv3
The British Warrior infantry fighting vehicle is probably the strangest IFV in War Thunder. It does not have a stabilizer and uses an autocannon with a very low fire rate. It has second gen thermals and great mobility, but a very slow ATGM. It should not be good, but it is, and I find that very perplexing. It is very frustrating to use now that Gaijin made sabot rounds bugged, but it's still pretty good.

I've read through most of the internal MoD minutes and correspondences during Warrior's adoption, including the in depth comparison they carried out between Warrior (MCV-80) and Bradley (US IFV). I thought some of you may be interested in the reasons behind its somewhat strange choice of armament. The original specification for the vehicle actually specifies RARDEN as an armament, aswell as lack of a stabiliser and possibly lack of thermals but I'm not sure. The reason was as you may guess cost saving, but the later analysis carried out showed the army saw a lot of positives in the weapon. With ammunition available at the time, the RARDEN had much more penetration especially at long range than the Bushmaster (or Hughes gun as it was back then). Both guns had enough penetration to deal with BMP-1 even at some range, but with BMP-1's replacement still unknown it was feared an uparmoured replacement would cause problems for the bushmaster. They also analysed using mathematics both weapons projected ability to shoot down hinds, and concluded (somewhat dubiously in my opinion) that both weapons where equally useless in the role. Other effects like post penetration (and therefore the need for multiple quick shots on target for an autocannon) where not considered, and in fairness may not be so important irl. The TOW and thermal systems of the Bradley where liked by the British, but there where worries of standardisation, and the TOW's potential upgrade path. Britain was involved in european next generation missiles at the time, and where also developing thermals for Challenger. Introducing a new, potentially nearly obsolete missile and having to deal with 2 different thermal imaging systems was seen as a logistics drain. As you touched on NBC was a very serious consideration at the time, but the army also liked the warriors slightly better mobility which supposedly exceeded the Bradleys. Ultimately, the army would conclude that while they would prefer to have Bradley the Warrior was also an acceptable close second, and with the decision really being up to politicians it was obvious which vehicle would be better for the British economy, especially considering a licence built Bradley was projected to cost a similar amount. There where actually several propositions immediately following this decision to upgrade the warrior to match the Bradley, namely the installation of the bushmaster and/or a stabiliser system, but with the project already considerably behind schedule and world tensions rising it was seen more important to get the vehicles into service as quickly as possible.

[@thelordofcringe]

Every brit vet I've known who served on the Warrior absolutely loved them. I can only say the same for like half of the bradley crew veterans I've met. It's certainly not a bad IFV, I think it just gets a lot of criticism for being different and having a separate design philosophy.

not just what you said, but the RARDEN cannon has to be hand-cranked for a few seconds to load ammo if you shoot it empty and your maximum ready load is 6 (3+3) because its fed in 3 round clips, which is to say it's far worse in real life than it is in-game

[@wurben8747]

@@smegheader7615 It should be the 75mm M3, because IRL they literally took the Shermans mantlet and gun and flipped it upside down (because the Churchill's gunner position was on the oposite side to that of the Sherman's). That is, of course, if Gondola didn't mess up. Update: Gondola messed up. For some reason, despite modelling the Churchill NA75 correctly, they've named the gun wrong. Whilst the OQF Mk.V 75mm cannon does use US shells it IS a different gun, namely being a rebored 6-pounder which includes a muzzle break. Otherwise everything about it is correct, including the muzzle velocity (which for the shells used and what sources I CBA to look up only have ~2m/s difference in muzzle velocity to the M3 anyway). TL;DR: gondola named the gun incorrectly on the Churchill NA75 and the differences in the guns is more or less visual only (shells are the same, velocities are almost identical etc). It *might* get changed within the next 5 years... maybe.

The warrior CTA40 would be a great vehicle to add to WarThunder. It’s APFSDS round performs similarly to the rounds found on the CV9040 and it has proxy fuze rounds for AA, SAP rounds for lightly armored vehicles. It’s stabilized and likely has 3rd Gen Thermals. It’s still based on the Warrior Chassis however and it doesn’t have missiles to my knowledge, so it will be a less armored PUMA. Still an interesting vehicle I would like to see.

As usual in war thunder, benefits of real life do not translate. Slower fire rates allow the chassis to recover for more accurate shots. A really good example is how the gun accuracy of something like a BMP with high rpm compares to a bradley in accuracy tests.

I'm guessing from that statement that if the Terminator was brought in, its shots be hitting more accurately than they actually do IRL, and not just because the autocannon barrels are to close to each other.

but both the bradley and the bmp's have a stabilizer, that makes this a moot point. On top of that they also have better guns, better missile systems and the bmp is way cheaper...

[@imperialinquisition6006]

@@holdencross5904 That would be very cool, only issue is what exactly would that entail? As in: WW2 era: -Basically the same as what is in the British tech tree, e.g. Spitfires, Beaufighters, Lancasters, Mosquitos etc… in the RAAF and RCAF(and RNZAF etc…, mostly focusing on Canada and Australia). I guess the RAAF had some cool prototypes, they could add the CAC Mustang(but technically they could also add a Mustang to the British tech tree now, as they were used fairly heavily by the RAF) . Point being maybe some small additions to a British and commonwealth tree for WW2 could be done, but not a lot as the same aircraft were mostly used by all 3 countries. Early Cold War era: -Would be somewhat interesting but also not be. Basically alongside the UK stuff there would be some cool licence produced variants of vehicles e.g. CF-100, CAC Sabre, could also see some A4 Skyhawks etc etc. which would be very cool in the British tech tree so they could definitely do this one pretty well. Only issue is they are all variants of other aircraft that already exist, but tbf I would love a British tech tree sabre. Mid Cold War era: -Could see Australian Phantom, Mirage III, Canadian CF104 etc… Would be cool but largely fully copy and paste. Late Cold War-Modern: - This would be an interesting one. Because it would essentially just add Australian or Canadian service versions of American(or other countries) planes. Not much difference, some sometimes, but again not a lot. E.g. the F-111 in RAAF service, the F-18 in Canadian and Australian service. The F-35 in Australian and Canadian(when this happens) service, at least tbf, Australia(and maybe Canada) partially manufacture parts for the F-35, and were part of the project(I know Canada was as well and I believe they make parts for it as well, but the current Government backtracked on it for some reason). So it would be very very cool to see for the British tech tree to turn it into a fully collaborative UK, Australia and Canada(and maybe NZ but Ofc they don’t operate combat aircraft anymore), but the issue would be it would probably make the tree too good for Gajin if between these countries they got literally everything(not quite but still). So while I think it would be very cool Gajin is incredibly unlikely to do it as it would add too many aircraft that they would be more concerned to make people grind other tech trees(spend more money) rather than all have in one tech tree.

Day 3 Suggestion: try out the leopard 1, Its in a spot at 7.3 where it does very well, and in downtiers, faces WWII tanks that don't stand much of a chance, But also works decently well in upteirs against most vehicles due to the APDS or the HEATFS round it gets (I personally prefer APDS)

[@iharpo9292]

Ik its been beaten to death but the sheer fact that someone in a tiger 2 can face atgms with thermals is just absurd

[@theblackstoneknight]

It would do alright, if the uptiers were not constant. In this thing, a full downtier just ensures you'll get the best mobility and HEATFS, that's it, since everything you see can one-shot you without too much trouble. Playing carefully makes this thing very good. But if you get a full uptier ? You'll face the M60, T95, T-62s in large amounts, Vickers, Chieftains, BMP-2... Most tanks here are stabilized, have good armor that will somehow shatter your APDS round and just negate your HEATFS round. You're still faster, but you can't use it or you'll just die. I know this is going to sound weird, but I much prefer the M48A2 C, even in full uptiers. Great survivability, alright speed, good firepower, actual armor... Ironically enough, the Leopard 1 is just briging Germany players back to the Panzer IV. You have the potential to do amazing stuff but most of the time you won't.

[@pkmtsar701st9]

God, I can feel the slow rate of fire I could even hear the round, struggling get out of the barrel

[@Just_A_B3AN]

I honestly really miss playing the jumbo and .50 calling tiger barrels sure it's unbalanced, but it was really fun for me starting out and finding out you can do that

[@jackmino729]

The problem with the warrior in war thunder is that we get only the first version. The Warrior has had quite a few upgrades since the initial version, such as a stabiliser, better rounds, Javelin or even Spike LR instead of Milan, composite armour addons, engine upgrades etc.

[@Tzhz]

Not true, only the prototype models in Bovington actually have any upgrades. All the vehicles in service are stock, no stabilisers, no Milan or javelin integration (with the exception of the Javelin rack in the rear of the vehicle to hold LTA's for infantry.

[@SoggyKatnip]

We should have bought cv90s 🗿

[@playerzero2236]

Speaking of fast firing bolt actions, the british had that covered actually with the lee enfield. I have one from 1942, and that make of rifle went through multiple wars, including ww2 against semi-automatic and fully automatic weapons. Canadians still use it in the military and law enforcement, and hunters here in the US occasionally use them for large game. Sports the 303 round and has almost the same performance of a 7.62x51 nato. The action was designed for the marksman to be able to cycle it quickly without taking his eye off a target.

[@WalrusJones185]

You know, the warriors autocannon being fully analog makes me think "If you had a time machine that would be the best fucking weapon to replace the M6's coaxial 37mm with."

[@PilotTed]

From this update I haven't been able to take out barrels with any auto loader cannon and tracks take like 5 40mms. Oh and the sounds are glitches too hell atm so I'm not surprised that m48 didn't hear your ATGM and reverse, because he couldn't.

[@freezie4511]

Since you're doing british tanks, the crusader might be a good fit for you to try. Great to get that good rosehip experience 😮

[@DS-dt7il]

I actually met the pilot of that A10 from the 2003 incident a couple years ago. Nice guy, but definitely still haunts him.

[@StacheMan26]

The thing about the RARDEN is that, in exchange for the 3 round clip feed and incredibly low ROF, it takes up very little internal volume compared to pretty much any other autocannon. Now, is that an acceptable compromise over installing a bigger turret with a Bushmaster or something? For something the size of the CVR(T)s, yeah probably. For the Warrior, much less so, but it was already in inventory by the time it came about. Also the EMP resistance argument doesn't really hold up, since Warrior's coax is a L94A1 chain gun. Chain guns, notably, require external power to cycle.

[@dragontiger8707]

The Warriors cannon sounds like a shoe being slapped on the ground.

[@one2tap681]

2:22 almost woke my partner up from laughing so hard, thanks spookston.

[@sidwainhouse]

Warrior was designed in the late 70s to one shot BMPs at 1000m which it did very well.

[@britishgamingdragoon]

Am looking forward to the stressful time am going to have with vehicle and here I thought the concept 3 was bad

[@yoloman3607]

Those random halo CE sound effects always bring a smile

[@itsalie24]

We need the overhauled variants honestly, such as the 40mm variant, the warrior 2000, etc. We could even get the prototypes

[@PilotTed]

You should play the AMX 13 40 and the first AMX 13 with the short 75. The 40mm has 91 mm of pen and shoots at 240 rpm, making it actually usable as an Spaa. It's HE rounds one taps planes quite often. The Short 75 AMX 13 is essentially a faster Chaffee without the gyro stab and better armor. It's better armor is the fact many players will shoot ufp, which gets absorbed into the radiator, engine, transmission, and fuel tank. The amount if times I survived because of this is hilarious as it gives me a free kill.

[@barronhelmutschnitzelnazi2188]

This tank was amazing when it came out. It was like the first IFV in the game as well. There were no bmps and very little wheeled vehicles. I do miss Warrior being able to launch its missile even at 50kmph+

[@freaking_horriblea9172]

Heyoo! I've got a suggestion! There's this rhombus tank for the yellow and blue flags! It's like power rating 1.5 and has two rascals poking their head out of the top of it! It's very strange that! They're gonna get hit! Anywho, the barrel sounds amazing and so do the treads! However the generator is too clanky for me

[@dogeler249]

APDS of the Fv324 is alr being affected by the APDS "neft". The APDS belt used to do much more post pen dmg.

[@Xeonzs]

I love this vehicle so much, more than the bradley cause the rounds have more pen and it handles well, you say you didn't like it, but you saw it was pretty reliable.

[@bruhmoment3741]

you should try to play the us tech tree tier 6 ( m60's , early bradley and the starship) the early bradley sometimes has the fastest prepare speed for the TOW ever, but only if u dont actively try to use it. when you do, suddenly a romanian steals your motor that opens the tow rocket system and its sometimes so slow you cant fire for 10 seconds ( my last encounter using it)

[@swissfreek]

6:25 Low tier is fun… to a point. Around 5.0-6.0 I have a lot of fun in several different countries. The matches still last a while, but everyone has some experience playing and has more robust lineups. I recently went back to bottom tier to start grinding out the Swedish tech tree and man, some of those matches are just absolute chaos. Players everywhere, doing all kinds of things, impossible to anticipate what was about to happen or where an enemy would pop out. It wasn’t as enjoyable as I thought it would be.

[@oyaoya5661]

Would love to see some type 60 sprg action in the future if possible

[@bigfish821]

From the gunner sight, it literally sounds like you are shooting a stapler when you fire the chaingun

[@justsomewt3450]

In my opinion the warrior is the best for simulation battles it suits his style of play you have to play him in the second line drive to the position look around for that we have thermal vision help the team with heavy targets spot the enemy vehicles I enjoyed playing it very well

[@TheCollector1987]

I've been playing with the German Marders and after watching your gameplay... I think I'll pop a smoke

[@LordMason21]

Seventh time in a row requesting for you to play the sherman firefly.

[@kiryu-chan1590]

I'd love to see a video of you playing the T30 or LAV-AD. The T30 is 155MM HE goodness, and The LAV-AD got a sound update for its gun.

[@connor22abrams4]

You should do an updated “Russian bias” video. As for your bit on hearing ATGMs I use a sound mod that converts the missile/rocket audio to the Payday 2 Cloaker scream and it’s certainly helped.

[@-Timberiguess-]

broooo i forgot how you used to sound lmao im rewatching this a year later

[@quilixx9529]

No comment below video on how that thing sounds ? It literally sounds like me shitting in the morning, i'm dying here what the hell

[@Godofchaosdragons]

It’s like they looked at the Bradley and went, “Yes that but a lot worse.”

[@UnfittingCarbon]

You should try the Type 62 light tank - I think it would be right up your alley!

[@jacobhill3302]

The cannon sounds like the motion detector on Aliens

[@desertfalcon1539]

yet again another video with the funny title made by the funny tankman Thanks for that Spooks hope you're doing well despite being virtually asked to leave every military group possible x)

[@hayabusa0037]

Should play the tortoise next. Overly large, somewhat slow reload, solid shot, BUT it has a lot of armor and crew

[@bornonthebattlefront4883]

The M103’s turret always reminds me of the head of the alien queen in “Aliens”

[@SilentButDudley]

Yeah Britain needs some new light tanks for sure. Could do with more South African gear. ATGM Rooikat, Badger IFV, SAM Rooikat, and a few others. There’s also Australian vehicles that can be implemented to the Brit’s.
