Could Gepard's turret be mounted onto a truck or wheeled 8x8 chassis?
yeah
>>65447294Yeas.
>>65447294Nope, it's too heavy. That's why they mounted it on a tank chassis in the first place. The Skyranger turret is light enough to be mounted on a wheeled chassis.
>>65447345The turret is lightly armored at around 12 tonnes, including the guns, radar and ammo. A 8x8 chasis like the Patria AMV with a max payload of 15 tons can easily carry it.
Its weight + reaction forces from firing the gun + how stable does the platform need to be.
>>65447294>>65447345>>65447973That's literally the Pantsir
The ability of the multiple suspension units to absorb recoil is something that simply enlarging the outriggers is unlikely to replicate.
>>65448008 >The ability of the multiple suspension units to absorb recoilThe Leo hulls were modified with improved suspensions specifically for this instance.
>>65448008>>65447345I don't think the Gepard turret is heavier than the RCH 155mm turret
>>65448008Peek know-nothing retard post.
>>65448072
>>65448072RCH155 - one barrelGepard - two barrelsClearly the Gepard is heavier.
More importantly, if you mounted the turret onto this would it be a mech?
>>65448811>>65447294Should be mounted onto a mech
>>65447345They mounted it on a tank chassis for cross-country capability, not just due to weight. It needs to go where other tracked vehicles are going since its supposed to provide air defence for them.Anyway, its a retarded idea because building a 'new' gepard on a wheeled chassis would be better in every way considering the 50 years of technological pogress. There's no reason to keep a manned turret at all.
>>65448001Anon,
>>65448001BASED!
>>65448823Abandon guns in favor of mechs with super heavy spears or missiles. No middle ground. 30 foot tall spear chuckers.
>>65451308I too work at percurement in the DCMS.
>>65451308GMLRS thrown by mechs as if they were throwing spears?
>>65451308this sounds retarded as fuck.Sign me the fuck up as a test pilot
>>65447299>>65447309>>65448001Wrong.(it was a 1970s design for wide MBT chassis, perhaps a compacted/miniaturized electronics version in the 21st century could be designed with 35 mm cannon for a narrow-wheel-track transport vehicle but you can't just slap a Gepard turret onto a wheeled truck)
>>65447294Truck no, wheels 8x8 sure, it's called the LAV-AD.
>>65454083>LAV-ADIt doesn't have a Gepard's turret though
>>65453497Get in the fucking robot, Shinji
>>65447294Just ignore half track though I see.
>>65451308Future combat should be giant humanoid robots with HEAT spears and ERA plated shields
