A proof of concept vehicle developed by the Thomson company accompanying French armed forces on a PR exercise is not service with the French armed forces.

Comment

Because its a German vehicle ?

Comment

American F-5A models and therefor the F-5C model could be retrospectively fitted with countermeasure systems. So the F-5C has that in game.

Comment

The size of a vehicle does not mean its finished faster. If there are more sources, information and resources available for one over another it can be finished faster.



If you can provide sources showing the French forces used the M113 Crotale system, we can pass them to the developers to consider.


However currently all sources show that the M113 Crotale was a private development for other nations. Like the FlakRak.



So lets also remove everything else not 100% French from the French TT too?



Exactly the point. So the

Incorrect. The ITO just took longer.

Comment

Both the range report and Semi all aspect report are being reviewed.

Comment

Because the ITO was still in development. We said France would get the platform as soon as it was ready too.

Comment

None with enough information to model reliably or that are contained in a self contained and independent vehicle like the ITO.

This is also not a domestic chassis and is no more domestic than the M113 or ITO. The weapons system is French and gives the French tree access to the VT-1.

Right now, we are literally going round in circles about what foreign vehicle chassis it will be on.

French players asked for a VT-1 platform as soon as possible.

Comment

Finland is also with Sweden in the tree. Hence why they have several vehicles already from Finland.

Comment

You asked this the other day and as I said then, we have the Red Top reports under review.

Comment

We checked every domestic chassis proposed. All of the domestic required multiple platforms or support vehicles to fully operate.

Comment

Its US and French. The developers were well aware of who developed it. But its not solely French.

Comment

There was no AMX-30 variant that received it. They were all separate platforms

Comment

A PR photo to sell it to other nations who actually used it.

Comment

This topic was forwarded as soon as it was created and all domestic options explored. None equate to the IT090.

Comment

French players wanted one ASAP. Here it is.

Comment

The M113 was never used by the French Army as a VT-1 carrier. Its no more domestic than the platform being introduced.

Comment

There is no French domestic design that can search, guide, fire and lock the VT-1 Crotale in a single vehicle. They all required multiple vehicles to do so:
