General information

The General Dynamics Ajax is an armored fighting vehicle developed by General Dynamics UK in 2010. Based on the ASCOD 2 platform, the Ajax project was designed as a replacement for the obsolete CVR(T) family of vehicles, with the intention of using the base chassis for various configurations. After 1,010 vehicles were ordered in 2014, the Ajax family was expected to be ready for service in mid-2019. However, the program was plagued with numerous delays due to ergonomic issues, most notably excessive vibration and noise that resulted in the crew suffering from nausea, swollen joints, and tinnitus. Although the problems were reportedly solved by the time the Ajax was accepted for service in January 2025, reports of soldiers becoming ill after operating the vehicle emerged in November 2025. As problems were ironed out, delivery of the Ajax is expected to be completed around 2028-29.

The Ajax was introduced in Update "Line of Contact". The Ajax is a well-rounded AFV capable of fulfilling various roles. Armed with a powerful 40 mm CTC autocannon with high penetration and an option for IRST and high resolution thermal device, the Ajax can effectively engage ground and air targets alike. However, survivability of the Ajax is rather average, as its armor is only sufficient to resist autocannon rounds, and the crew of three is located relatively close enough to be knocked out by a single anti-tank shell at certain angles.
