ERC TA 20

[nxdefiant001 1,397]

 

The ERC is like its ancestor the AML, a very modular vehicle. From 90mm to 7.62mm, ATGMs and AAMs, it had at some point a turret to fill in any type of role. Most of those were proposed to export, one was actually exported, another one was in a different form. I will propose here 2 twin 20mm dedicated SPAA platform (one with a stabilizer retrofit) and a AA capable scout vehicle (one stabilized 25mm only, a bit like a certain other scout vehicle).

Rough dimensions (i don't have the one with the TA turret, so you get the similar S530 turret on the same chassis)

Overview of chassis

crew : 3 : gunner, loader, driver

combat weight depends on turret (needs to be calculated)

Peugeot 155 hp engine with a 6 forward 1 reverse gearbox

Amphibious capabilities up to 9.5 km/h with hydrojets

Chassis can resist LMGs all around.

You have actual brakes now, not a gen 1 AML braking system.

+1 This one would be pretty cool. More wheeled vehicules for France !!

[Milocat 4,857]

+1 for sure, would be a great SPAA.

[KilianL 865]

Unbelievable to me that this hasnt been added yet 

I understand Spaa arent "money makers" for Gaijin but they improve the quality of life of the players that like to respawn so much.

 

+1, the usual deal 

[JamesPond1200@psn 299]

Give France more SPAA! +1
