 [h2]Meet the Boxer Vilkas![/h2] The Boxer Vilkas will soon be joining Rank VII of the German ground forces tree as one of its most advanced IFVs which you are able to obtain by taking part in this years winter event, Winter Extreme. Eager to find out more about this nimble new wheeled AFV? Then join us as we explore the details below! [h3]Did you know? The name Vilkas is Lithuanian which translates to Wolf! [/h3]  If youre a user of German tanks, youll be no stranger to highly nimble and well armed IFVs the Vilkas however takes this experience to the next level. Fitted with a crewless turret that houses the Bushmaster II 30 mm autocannon an already familiar weapon from the game the Vilkas can present itself as a serious threat to both other lightly armored vehicles but also to MBTs thanks to its powerful sub caliber ammunition. Furthermore, the Vilkas also comes equipped with a Spike ATGM launcher, enabling you to quickly engage ground targets with the missiles fire and forget capabilities! [h3]Interesting: The Boxer features a modular design of its mission compartment. As a result, its configuration can take on many different forms ranging from classical IFV to recovery and training variants.[/h3]  Being a wheeled vehicle, engineers placed a particularly high emphasis on the Vilkas mobility. Equipped with a 720 HP engine, the Vilkas can reach a top speed of 103 km/h on paved roads while its high power-to-weight ratio not only ensures high acceleration but also provides this vehicle with good off-road capabilities. However, these are stretched to their limits when faced with extreme terrain conditions such as deep snow or mud: something to keep in mind when making tactical moves on the battlefield! Despite featuring composite protection, the Vilkas armor layout remains only effective against high caliber machine gun and autocannon fire at longer engagement distances. Therefore, facing off high-caliber cannons and ATGMs head on isnt the most suitable tactic to employ the Vilkas for.  The Boxer Vilkas comes to War Thunder as a strong reinforcement to the German top rank light vehicle lineup and is a prize in this years winter event, Winter Extreme. Happy hunting! |
