    Real battles and war always prove the old truth - the easier a weapon system is to operate, the more chances of success you have... what modules, what 3 dollars? Logistics in Ukraine, for example, is a terrible problem, any complication of servicing an armored vehicle reduces operational efficiency.
    In other words, it's very cool to make tugrs while the Allies spew T-34s and Shermans. And not only are they more numerous, but they are served much more quickly and easily than tigers and elephants. And yes, numbers do matter, especially when the front line is 1,500 km...

    2 questions: what does this do that other ones don't do? We know tanks/vehicles like heavy IFVs are increasingly useless on a modern battlefield, so, why make this now? Without knowing a real answer to the first question, there's no real purpose in producing these.
    Opinion: It'd possible be better to invest in a stealth motorcycle lol. Or, upgrade a nice cheap yet effective infantry carrier if needed, like the US hmmvv or MRAP that are essentially just cars with mounted things on them; where it's cheap enough, yet good enough to protect the troops and provide fire support, so losing one isn't a big deal either. There's a reason why fitting cheap, old solutions with upgrades to fit the current purpose, has been usually better than the cost of making something brand new that's just as vulnerable. It also seems like Britain just wants to try to make something itself and in doing so made something that's negligibly better, 'at best 10% better', for a much larger cost. They'd be better off, if they could make like a competitor F35 plane or something else to specialize in. No one is going to want these vs the competition, unless you can answer the first question and prove the vehicle is revolutionary somehow.

      the 50mm round has not so many benefits over a 30mm round.
      Penetration is not good enough to engage heavy armored targets, vs BMP-3´s and other IFV´s the 30x173mm APFSDS round does more than enough on medium to long range.
      Vs Infantry and soft targets the 50mm HE round does not increase the lethality by such a large margin that it is drasticly better. 30mm ABM rounds tear infantry and soft targets to shreds.
      30x173mm roundes require about 50% of the storage space of the 50mm autogun ammo. so more bang for the same volume.
      And against anything that is armored enough that a 30mm wont go through, the 50mm wont either and you use the ATGM´s

      Well you need to think about mobility and mobility doesn't always mean going off roads. Sometimes mobility means to get from the Netherlands coast to Eastern Poland as fast as possible! Tracked vehicles drive half the speed and start to replace their tracks halfway through Germany while a wheeled based ifv only needs to stop 5 minutes for gas.

    how many modules to one base unit?
    Plus you would have to add a crane to the mix.
    So how many cranes would be needed?
    So in a time of battle, lets say you have 10 base units and say 3 modules per a base unit.
    Where do you store the modules?
    Other alternative you have 10 uints 3 of one type, 3 of one type, and 4 of one type.
    Which setup will be the cheapest and fastest to move and get operational?

      It’s not necessarily something you’d use on a battlefield but the idea is that if you have something like a humanitarian crisis you can take a bunch of ambulance modules out of storage. Use them on a bunch of boxer hills that we’re doing other things and ship them out.
      But even in a war armies will create safe areas behind the lines for vehicle repair and maintainence, you could theoretically take a bunch of spare modules on the back of trucks or transported I; aircraft and swap them onto boxer hulls in these areas.

    Typical England mess. The Victorians must be turning in their graves at the sheer incompetence. They can't even take a 1960s chassis and produce a better vehicle in the timescale demanded. The Boxer has inadequate protection for the troops carried. I would demand that the designers and engineers travel into real combat with the users. But, the cowards will never do that. They've been paid.
    And the comparisons between this and the French VBCI, don't come out in favour of the Boxer. A similar comparison between Boxer and the EBRC Jaguar, again, doesn't favour the Boxer. The Boxer is not even as well protected as a VAB, for heaven’s sake!
