It's interesting how much a difference minor changes can make in looks.

The paintjob is wonky.
Some Nerd Made a Chart of Potential Boxer AFV Variants A While Back and Now Posted a New Chart Showing How Three Quarters of Said Variants Actually Exist Now... More or Less.

Seems like a 155mm howitzer on wheels would be incapable of going off road due to weight.

Eh?
Meanwhile in 80's Czechoslovakia:
Oh yeah I forgot about that one, I guess one advantage of tracks is that they don't need to deploy those stabilizers and can relatively quickly move away after firing to avoid counter battery attacks.
getting the stabilizers off the ground to evac doesn't take that long.
Not sure when they started using the G6, but it was at least during the end of the First Tiberium War -- circa 2002 (when Operation: Regenesis took place).
Incidentally, they also used a Russian-made APC, which means that the Soviets in Red Alert likely used it and the American/Allied M113, too.
Small arms, vehicles, and aircraft from a realistic view in the C&C universe would be fascinating, especially if it were in a Battlefield-like game.

Cool submarine tank from Valkyria Chronicles 4, the Lophius.
Not sure if an icesheet could support 279 tons of tank, if the data sheet is to be believed.

"""Tank""" Calling that thing a tank is really stretching the definition, I think mobile fortress or something along those lines would be a more apt term.
Since when did VC turn into MS Gundam: Steampunk Edition?
It's a literal half-ass predreadnought land submarine.

Since VC1 and those landbattleships they had.
Well, it's Object 279 crossed with a predreadnought warship and a ZIL-2906 type screw-drive amphibious vehicle and a submarine.

Polands new IFV the Borsuk BWP guessing its amphibious but uncertain because all the info about it is in gibberish aka Polish.
It's supposed to be amphibious, since it's a belated replacement for the old BMP-1s after multiple rounds of prior cancellations. It's apparently based on the chassis of the South Korean K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzer, which sounds weird until you realize that Poland had already licensed production of that chassis for their Krab self-propelled howitzers.

RON/PLC was a wonderful country.
Not badly delayed, but yes Borsuk is an amphibious vehicle, the requirements of the army to have such so our industry developed it such.
It is the heaviest and best armored floating IFV in the world. The only vehicles that can beat in this category are already heavy IFVs.
With that said, the designers have made room for increased armor at the expense of floating capability.

Armed with an unmanned ZSSWS-30 turret with 30mm Bushmaster II cannon with UKM-2000C machine gun and dual Spike missile launcher.
May I know where this information came from? I first hear that the Borsuk's chassis was modeled after the K9 chassis. They are really strongly different from each other, they just look similar but looking at their construction you can see a lot of differences.
Heavily delayed is an understatement. Our BWP-1s are all the time in the form in which they were produced, that is, more than 50 years ago. Nothing and nothing has changed about them over the years.
No less fortunately, the Borsuk program started in 2014 and arrived until today.
Although there were disturbing rumors that the Ministry of Defense would buy Korean light BWPs which are far inferior to the Borsuk in every area but fortunately these were just rumors spread by the Korean media.
