      Cannon weighs a lot, and vehicle need enough weight for the recoil it generates, while not giving significant more HE fire power because auto cannon makes up with fire rate. The barrel length and limited elevation of guns are trouble in town and against heli.

                It's a light cav vehicle to fullfill what is traditionally medium recce. They send a squadron or two of these up front to find, define and kill within their means. The 40mm and ATGMs give it increased lethality, meaning light cav can sweep a bunch of enemy assets off the field on their own. The sensor suite greatly enhances ISTAR capability gives greater "sight" and shortens the time to find something and bring effects onto it from integral weapons or fires. Commanders have greater flexibility now if they need to vector a combat team+ onto an enemy position, or just allow the cav to deal with it.

      Be advised the MMP can exactly do that. Exact same missile and container as the disembarked one. Detachable yet wire guided for fire and forget ability using LOBL mode. More range than both missiles you quoted. Multiple missiles stored inside the vehicle. So in need you could technically dismount a missile from its launcher and give it to the guys on the ground instead.

        Really? Because you reload the TOW on the bradley through a hatch in the back, which is behind the turret. I kinda doubt that we lost "several", it would require someone to be off to your flank with no support.

          yes, exactly, they have to unbutton the vehicle and the loader has to stick their heads/arms/body out to reload the TOW, which is stupid because the IFV has to pull off the line of contact to do so safely

          if the missile can be reloaded from inside, the IFV can stay in the fight, even using the auto cannon to suppress the enemy while the missile is reloaded

    I wish there was a version with a 90mm gun to blow up houses for direct fire infantry support.
    I hope they won’t have performance issues with the gun.
    Once again, non standart NATO ammo, WTF France.
    I have always been a little worried about the part cercled in red. Isn’t it a bit narrow and too close to the wheels? Compacted snow and rocks, drying mud, tree trunks can get stuck there. Will it not be a problem? Does it lift up like the amx 10 rc?
