The Boxer IFV - does it have the ATGM pod?

Post by chatto »

Hi all!

I have a very quick question for anyone who has already brought the new Boxer IFV with the 30mm gun position.

Does it come with the ATGM launcher on the right hand side?
It's the box with the flap lid on the right of the turret in the link below.

I am curious as I am looking to build a future Australian Army force and one of the possible new vehicle combos we may have is the Boxer IFV and the Puma heavy IFV, since GHQ doesn't do the Patria hull yet I thought I'd go with what is available.

Thanks for any help! :)

Based on the picture, it doesn't appear to have the ATGMs on the left side.

Thanks mate, but sadly that doesn't help.

Real world, the missiles are located on the right hand side... so yeah, no missiles on the left doesn't help me out :(

EDIT: Screw up on my behalf - a moment of Dyslexia - the missiles are on the LEFT hand side, hence the picture I provided.

So yeah, you're dead right about the right hand side not having the ATGM - but twit here was looking at the left instead of the right :lol:

To be fair, in your picture there is a very clear box on the left hand side of the turret (the right as we look at it). The right hand side of the turret is almost completely obscured. Do you have a photo which shows properly the feature you are interested in?

Hi John -

Arrrgh! I am a twit! Had a moment of Dyslexia there looking at it! Yes, I am actually looking at the box on the LEFT hand side of the turret, which indeed looks RIGHT when facing towards us.

So sadly the photo on the GHQ website doesn't cover that side of the turret well, it does show the side to the right.

Sorry about that screwup, but yes, in the picture I have provided, I am looking to find out about the box on the LEFT hand side of the turret... derp :oops:

Hey Chatto, 'great minds think alike' obviously, because I'm also looking at the Boxer IFV for my Imagi-Nations Aussies.

Some pics of them painted in Oz colours are at:

Bish, you're a legend mate! Those pictures answered the question for me! Sadly no ATGM pod, but I am sure if I am THAT desperate for them I can always do a few small mods :)

Love the work on them as well mate!
