If you're a bong with engineering talent, its all too easy to jump ship to the US and make big money with a defense contractor offering compensation that just doesn't exist in the UK. If you're an Austrian or Spaniard, there's a language barrier so they're able to retain talent that the bongs cannot.
Because General Dynamics is a shit company who did as little as possible.
Scout SV should just be given to BAE and the CV90 with a 50mm autocannon and GD should be fined/sued for the entire program cost, the cost of the disabilities caused from the suspension and then extra just for not delivering what they promised.
BAE can be buttholes but clearly other companies want to compete for that title.
I dont know but whenever theres an IFV thread there is intense autism in the replies. Not sure why but its funny to me as a tourist. Interesting board culture. That and the whole frick ya mudda thing.
Lots of people don't understand the role of IFVs so make moronic arguments for and against specific vehicles.
It's like "tanks are obsolete" threads but with even less understanding of their role.
Yeah. I saw a guy on here saying that OFVs don’t need to be able to fire on the move. I knew he was fundamentally wrong but he was so adamant. What causes shit like this
I think a lot of it is nationalist pride turned cope. >this is my countries X so it's the greatest X in the world
What's even more stupid about that is the best IFV for Saudi Arabia isn't going to have much in common with the best IFV for Cambodia.
All the issues people have been talking about are related to revision 1, they are now on revision 7 or something and the vehicle trials are proceeding well ahead of formal acceptance.
Meanwhile you've got trash like puma that gets accepted into service without proper trials only for it to fail when it's time to deploy.
Puma was pulled from NATO duties because it doesn't work. Had to be replaced by marder - this is after the German army accepted it into service. The flaws with puma would have been caught if the Germans did even a third of what the UK does for pre acceptance trails.
Just because something is pulled and replaced once for one training element doesn’t make that thing bad. What kind of reasoning is this

Puma is the worst single development program I (probably) history. It's about a decade late and if completed on it's new schedule will be 20 years late.

That's not the point. The point is that the issues with it should have been caught if proper testing had been done. The whole Puma program is a clusterfrick.

You can't because a single point if failure is not the same as systemic decades long failure. The comparison would only work if the QE's were so unreliable the British were forced to keep their old carriers in service indefinitely.

A carrier is an infinitely more complex piece of equipment than an IFV. And yet despite that the issue was fixed in a month and the ship is back in service. The pannenpanzer still has problems. You chose a very bad comparison.

You see this is always the funny thing.
Lets say you agree with Warriortard and British engineering is terrible. And their weapons are shit.
Does this mean they conquered all these nations because of their raw, muscular, Anglo strength?
Or lets me guess, all those countries were beaten by physically weak men, with shit weapons?
How is that any better?!?
That's like your girlfriend running off with a British man, and then spending all your time saying what a terrible person he is.
What would that make you?
>And their weapons are shit.
Britain didn't conquer the world with any of the weapons that any sane person admits are shit. Britain lost the world in that period anon. Britain's engineering and weapons, up to WWI, were the best in the world. After that the quality of their engineering and weapons, and their imperial holdings, fell apart pretty quickly.
Independence is the parting gift of the British Empire. It was always intended as a somewhat racist "let's bring civilisation to these people" kind of benevolence. There's a reason why the former territories of the British Empire are doing so much better than their neighbouring states who were in the French/Spanish or God forbid Belgian or Dutch empires.

worst part sounds (pardon pun:)) the high sound level.
"hearing tests after rides".
Hello (pardon pun:)) we learned in 1st grade that hearing loss is some sort of both PROGRESSIVE and DELAYED....so you might not know you are being harmed until its too late AND harm can set in long AFTER you thought you were OK.
In other words, its basically a sure thing in a few years there will be all these Brit Vets with major hearing loss from riding around it these things in little gay peacetime drills.
And its not just like the one guy who flies the Sopwith Camel, it will be everyone who rides around in IFV (of various sub-models), in other words basically the entire fricking army. I remember hearing (pardon pun:)) that in US Army tankie crews would often be transported out to their MBTs in M113, just in training because theory was you didn't want the Meat Bags need to run the big armor being the weak link riding around in soft trucks, and you didn't want drive valuable MBT out of guarded entrenched positions everytime crew needs to get chow or change their diapers. Something about swapping out relief crews, but everyone is riding around in IFV or APCs.

You know why. They want to add all kinds of bells and whistles without doing the math
the design requirements come from the minds behind the worst IFV of the Cold War era. Why wouldn’t they have trouble the second time around
The American OMFV program will undoubtedly yield a better IFV
GD unfortunately scheduled the wielding quality inspections for Siesta time.

Puma isn't equipped for ISTAR / networked long range fires or battlefield engineering and Ajax isn't an IFV so how did you arrive at that opinion?

There are people who bait and troll for sure but there is one specific person at the core of it.
