Sequoia Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 We are planning to release something new on the NATO page on a regular basis. Next week will probably be some info/images regarding the AT assets. After that probably the Dutch soldiers. I´m still doing some work on them. - I went searching for this quote thinking you had said the Dutch Soldiers would be shown the week after the AT assets but now I see you only said after. Now I've ruined my own weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webwing Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I didn´t mention any specific date because we are still working on a lot of things at the same time and I´m not sure yet what will be done when. Beginning of next week should see some update in the NATO page comparing the 3 different IFVs. I´ll have some screens of Dutch soldiers up for sure. I need to check a few more things first though.

akd Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Nice to see the new AFV update...but...shouldn't the weight of the pictured up-armored CV9035NL be 38 tons (or 31 without the appliqué armor)? I've also read 8 dismounts for the CV9035NL, but haven't found confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Linky! I expect the 23 tonnes to be a typo, it should be 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Nice Bone. Thanks Cassio or Martin or whoever posted it. How many men in a mech infantry squad for each of the 3 armies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Linky! I expect the 23 tonnes to be a typo, it should be 32. I think even heavier with the add-on armor pictured, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 That's the standard for the CV9035NL, AFAIK. 32 tonnes would be the empty weight though. Add about 3 tonnes for a vehicle ready to fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are both CV9035NL, no? One with applique armor: One without: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 lol, we could've just looked at the stated weight on the vehicle. 31 and 38 respectively. *slaps head* Looks like you are right. The appliqué armour is standard, sorta. 100 packages have been bought and should be standard for operational use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zwobot Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 How many men in a mech infantry squad for each of the 3 armies? A German Panzergrenadiergruppe should have 6 soldiers and that is what is stated in the screenshot too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackcat Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 "A German Panzergrenadiergruppe should have 6 soldiers and that is what is stated in the screenshot too..." And good luck with that. The British seven man squad is bad enough, though maybe the designers will give the German sections a decent ammo load out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryujin Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Usually the IFV has more than enough ammo in it. I also just noticed the Canucks get the nyala (RG-31). Will we see US army/USMC TOE with the RG-31 or will we have to "cannibalize it" from the Candian TOE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Cassio, it's been two weeks since our latest NATO bone. Will you have something for us this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webwing Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Yep. There is something planned for this week. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chainsaw Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 oh thanks! the Leopards are so evil, I love them that L55 is impressing... even thoe a dutch friend thats a Leo 2A6 tanker complained that the extra lenght is at disatvantages in some terrains, like forest and such, they tended to stick the barrel into mud frequently. but considering the terrain of Syria that wouldnt be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Looking at all those Leopard variants, the plan that if you do the Germans and the British already done you also have everything for the Dutch and Canadians done as well really doesn't hold true. I can see why the module may be taking longer than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Probably didn't matter too much considering they still share quite a lot of bits. TBH I could've done without the 2A4s, who have a marginal excuse for being there and aren't all that radically different. The C2 I'm a lot happier with because it's a whole different beast and has a track record of seeing action. Of course, that one is a whole new tank to model entirely. For a tank that would never be allowed anywhere near a conventional war that's arguably not the best use of a modellers time. But perhaps we shouldn't complain about being given too much?

Chainsaw Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 no. the C2 with canadians and LAV III enables us to do more afghanistan missions so that they wouldnt be in a Syria invasion doesnt matther. more flexibility to the people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 TO BFC! Maybe to warm interest, you could show a tank-battle video T-72 against Leo2A4 (or LeoC2)? It will be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebotus Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I have a question about CV9035 as it's shown in the pictures. I served as a gunner in CV9030 during my conscription time, and was baffled to see that in the beta pictures, the man sitting on gunner's position is unbuttoned. Now, I don't know if the places have been swapped in 9035 for some reason, but it looked kinda strange to me as if the gunner is unbuttoned, it's impossible to properly control the turret. Edit: Oh, and also, don't want to nitpick (which I'm going to do), but the gunner's hatch doesn't go all the way down, not atleast in cv9030 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Oh, good catch. The commander is to the left, and he seems to be the one unbuttoned in the 15th screen shot (though it's though to tell for sure) But why the gunner is out of his hatch in the 14th screenie is not entirely clear to me either. Though at least in the CV9035NL the commander can control the gun as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebotus Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Though at least in the CV9035NL the commander can control the gun as well. Oh yeah, it's possible on 9030 aswell, but a lot more difficult as the controls are not as intuitive as it's on gunners seat. Though the plus-side is that the commander can control the turret a bit easier even while unbuttoned, but then he cannot fully function as gunner because the commander's stick doesn't have all the buttons needed for effective gunnery.

I'm pretty sure the hatch bit has already been caught and fixed a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
