Fichtenwald Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Hello! Yesterday Rheinmetall posted a Lynx video, that shows the interior and the gunners sight (with Leopard 2 sight symbology), with some TP-T rounds going out to a 2.000 metres target. Screenshots (the whole video is attached below): The graphical feedback for position and selected weapon/observation-device on the lower left seems pretty nice and easy to read. Just wanted to post it, because I have never seen the Lynx interior and gunners sight before - and thought, that it would be of interest to other SB players too, who might have missed it. I guess, the Lynx will also not "find its way" to SB, because Rheinmetall sadly has an in-house simulation/training platform for their vehicles? Best regards! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted August 6, 2021 Members Share Posted August 6, 2021 In a conversation, a gentleman representing Rheinmetall upper management expressed their heartfelt hope to "keep us out of 'their' market". Make of that what you will. To me, it's a signal to our customers that we're an effective scarecrow to give them leverage in price negotiations, at least for as long as we are occasionally given a realistic chance to win in a competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fichtenwald Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) I am glad, that my country did the right thing, and invested in SB regarding Bundesheer equipment/vehicles. And a very welcome way to use my taxes too.. So, if there will be no MK30-2/ABM, because there will be no Puma/Lynx, then hopefully the Bundesheer will also upgrade the MK30-2 with the ABM module, and something like the Spike. A modernization and "Kampfwertsteigerung" upgrade is said to be planned in the next years. Then the vehicle could be used better (with a lot of limitations of course) as a later version Puma stand-in for Bundeswehr scenarios in SB.

I suspect the issue is that Rheinmetall have their own (or at least did last time I looked) gunnery / crew procedural trainer simulator that they use in their training devices. I suspect they want to stick to using that rather than sub contracting the software to eSim. Nice gum trees though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
