robin craig Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Gents, The follow on build of Stormer and Shielder etc from the original design poses a problem that a friend ask me. Is a Stormer a CVRT or not, and if not what do we call it? R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Two links here & by the looks of things not CVR(T)'s http://www.janes.com/articles/Janes-Armour-and-Artillery/BAE-Systems-Global-Combat-Systems-Stormer-combat-vehicle-United-Kingdom.html http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product1032.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Robin, I think I'd just call it a Stormer. They have a unique DMC (9STM) for the Stormer specific bits. I have seen Stormer articles in Kit! magazine under the heading Stormer, HVM and CVR(T), so I think you can call it what you like really!

robin craig Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Well, that absatively posalutley clears things right up! Ok, well apart from I think that in the Stormer's case I would say that the CVRT stands for "clearly very roughy toughy", we will leave the moniker off but shows it's lineage as "a development of a next generation on from the CVR(T). Thanks guys R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVRTNick Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 At least the FV432/3 (AKA Bulldog) uses the same hull as the FV430 series,on a Stormer the one thing I believe is are the same as the CVR(T) fleet are the roadwheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 As I understand it there is also now a 'new' variant being built, sort of a Spartan with a Scimitar turret on top - so what the heck will that be called..!? Maybe a Scimitan or a Sparmitar. Must surely begin with S whatever it is !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 The official MOD description appears to be: "Combat Vehicle, Carrier, Full Tracked, High Velocity Missile (HVM) System and Troop Reconnaissance Vehicle (TRV), Stormer", if that helps!
