Vehicle History
[expand type=details] Nearly a decade following its entry into service, the Belgian company John Cockerill developed a new modular turret system for the German-Dutch Boxer IFV under a private venture. Although supporting a wide range of armaments, the highlight of the upgrade was the possibility to equip the Boxer with a 105 mm cannon, turning it into a fully fledged fire support vehicle. The aim of the modification was to showcase the upgrade potential of the Boxer to potential customers. As of today, no orders have been placed by potential operators yet. [/expand]
Meet the Boxer MGS!
The Boxer MGS is the main reward for the Mobile Sniper event that started today, joining the top rank of the German ground forces tree and expanding the Boxer series of fighting vehicles! This further development of the Boxer brings with it some unique upgrades and tradeoffs, which we’re eager to share with you in today’s devblog. So let’s get right into the details! For those of you who took part in last winter’s marathon event, you may have got your hands on the nimble Vilkas IFV. Although it introduced the German tree to Spike missiles, the Bushmaster autocannon and offered unrivaled mobility, the Boxer MGS builds upon the Vilkas’ strengths and mixes things up considerably. For instance, the most striking difference can be observed in the different turret featured on the Boxer MGS. Unlike the Vilkas, this variant of the Boxer features a larger, manned turret housing a more powerful 105 mm cannon. Not only does the cannon enable the Boxer to engage even MBTs in long distance gun duels, but its autoloader also ensures that several shots can be put down range before being forced to move switch positions.
