Why are turrets so 1990s?

wtf

wtf

because the turret takes up so much space inside the vehicle it reduces the number of soldiers you can carry

because the bussel takes up so much space inside the vehicle it reduces the number of soldiers you can carry

But so does the RWS control suite and the gunner

Maybe not to the same extend

Obiviously some space taken up. APCs "tend" to have RWS to give more space for troops

Plus, A turret stuffed inside would be very dangerous and not very practical.

US Stryker upgrade - 30mm RWS

http://breakingdefense.com/2016/10/army-rolls-out-upgunned-stryker-30m-autocannon-vs-russians/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=36638864&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8bEtNVjvCI7P_eMbE68JhyBvl9MRrsVr-QlodzUGsaMG9GCu8xK6mBcwGwC_6bsVCDF1aCPjRUjhtP7XK3L3X4b5tgNw&_hsmi=36638864

Today, after 18 months of urgent work, the Army rolled out its first upgunned Stryker vehicle, nicknamed Dragoon. The armored eight-wheel-drive troop transport, built by General Dynamics and normally armed with no more than a 0.50 calibre (12.7 millimeter) machinegun in an unprotected mount, has been rebuilt with an armored turret containing a 30 mm quickfiring cannon.

The upgrade from funding receipt to prototype delivery spanned a scant 15-months and included design, build and integration of a Kongsberg MCT-30mm Weapon System, remotely operated, unmanned turret, a new fully integrated Commander’s Station, upgraded driveline componentry and hull modifications.

I still like the Samson II RWS - like a turret and the commander can stick their head out.

MOD: While these posts are somewhat relevant by way of comparison to our efforts please post any furthur information regarding Foreign Forces in the Foreign Forces thread.

Nothing official

Surely those posts added to the thread as its about the MOWAG "Replacement" and these are viable alternatives or show upgrades that would enhance our existing fleet rather than replace them

MOD: Again.While the procurement decisions of other forces with regard to similar vehicles are somewhat relevant it is this MOD's opinion that they deserving of their own threads in the Foreign Forces section.
