I've got 4 Missiles in Launcher with 1200 Penetration! U? France VCAC Ar...

One of the variants produced both for France and for Export was called Enchanted VCAC Mephisto (“Véhicule de Combat Anti-Char” – Anti-Tank Combat Vehicle) and was fitted with the Euromissile Mephisto turret armed with four HOT missiles. This was a dedicated tank killer, replacing the troop-carrying capacity with a massive loading system and two more crew members – in addition to the driver and the commander, the vehicle also had a missile operator and a loader. The whole point of this variant was to provide the French infantry units with the means to knock-out enemy tanks while maintaining their high mobility. The VCAC vehicles could therefore keep up with their APC counterparts.



The entire vehicle weighed 13.25 tons and had the same welded steel armor as its APC counterpart with the front being 8mm or so thick and the sides being 10mm thick, just enough to protect it against 7.62mm AP bullets. Additional protection was provided by two smoke grenade launchers and a NBC system.



The vehicle was powered by the same engine as the APC – Renault MIDR 06-20-45 (sometimes written also 062045 or 06.20.45). It was a 9.84 liter turbocharged diesel engine producing 220hp and, paired with a manual transmission, allowed the vehicle to go as fast as 90 km/h. An upgrade was offered in the form of an up-tuned version of the same engine (up to 250hp) and the installation of an automatic ZF transmission, but the maximum speed remained the same. The vehicle could reach the distance of 1000 meters from full stop in 54 seconds and was fully amphibious with the maximum swimming speed being 8.5 km/h. The wheels were independently suspended by torsion bars and hydraulic shock-absorbers.



The most interesting part was, of course, the launching mechanism. In its transport position, the launcher was retracted into the vehicle – in this position, it could be loaded with four HOT missiles by the loader. When needed, it was hydraulically elevated by the operator.



In Armored Warfare, the VCAC Mephisto is a Tier 8 Tank Destroyer, representing a departure from the general French and Italian MBT branch gameplay. It is a wheeled missile-based Tank Destroyer, much like the Kornet-EM or the VBL INGWE – fast, maneuverable (for a wheeled vehicle) and with good camouflage, making it an idea long-range MBT hunter. However, there will be a plot twist.





SALUTE & see you on the battlefield!
