VBCI PHILOCTETES IFV

[Shyue Chou]

I would love to see the French VBCI IFV with the 25 mm gun and also the VBCI Philoctetes IFV with a 40 mm CTA in the game. France could do with more IFVs.

"The VBCI (Véhicule Blindé de Combat d'Infanterie) is a wheeled armored Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) designed and manufactured by the French defense company Nexter (formerly known as Giat Industries). The VBCI was developed to replace the aging AMX-10P tracked IFV in service with the French Army. The development of VBCI began in the late 1990s, with the first prototype being completed in 2000. The vehicle entered service with the French Army in 2008.

The VBCI is an 8x8 wheeled vehicle, offering improved mobility, protection, and versatility compared to its tracked predecessor. The vehicle is designed to carry a crew of three, including a driver, commander, and gunner, as well as nine infantry soldiers. The VBCI in the French Army is equipped with with a one-man Nexter Dragar turret armed with a dual-feed 25mm NATO cannon type 25 M811 with 150 rounds in the turret and a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun. In all weather conditions, the Tarask® turret provides the dismounted combat units with effective fire support.

The VBCI PHILOCTETES is fitted with a CTA T-40 turret designed and manufactured by CTA International, a joint venture between two major defense companies, Nexter Systems of France and BAE Systems of the United Kingdom.

The CTA 40, also known as the CTAI 40mm or the 40 CTA (Cased Telescoped Armament) turret, is a modern weapon system developed as a joint venture between Nexter (France) and BAE Systems (United Kingdom). The key feature of this turret is its use of cased telescoped ammunition, which offers several advantages over traditional ammunition, such as reduced volume, increased firepower, and better handling characteristics."
