Crew

According to FutureWeapons on Discovery Channel this vehicle has a crew of 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9WR0-OxPno&feature=related —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.254.130.98 (talk) 19:42, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LEMUR system

think we should add that it has the LEMUR system as a gun-sight, wich also can be used as a backup weapon since it has a integrated .50 M2 heavy machinegun. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.226.15.37 (talk) 13:27, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Archer will not be fitted with the lemur system, it will instead be fitted with a similar but not as capable system from norweigian defence contractor kongsberg. This as a part of the counter purchases that is involved in this affair. 90.230.55.21 23:11, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone give us an image of that system? Perhaps from flickr? Would be great! -- 93.196.118.9 (talk) 14:00, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anchoring down

Some SPG systems do not have anchor down as the ARCHER apparently must before firing. Would someone with more expertise than mine like to comment on this shortcoming? The ARCHER system's ability to "scoot" quickly after it shoots seems to be limited by this Achilles heel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.226.104.225 (talk) 21:02, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not an expert, but since the Archer is mounted on a wheeled frame with suspension, It has to deploy supports like a mobile crane or similar, as seen at the rear of the picture in the article. This to negate the sway wich would be created in the suspension when firing. "Deploying" or raising these shouldn't particularly inhibit it's 'scoot' ability, as the time would be neglible and likely operated by the driver, even if moving.

Duplicate

Doesn't Archer - FH77BW L 52 talks about the same thing?, I think both should be merged.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 21:15, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Range

The Range value is 500kms , is that accurate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adaptor40 (talk • contribs) 15:13, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on the ammunition used, but yes. 217.209.73.224 (talk) 23: 17, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

That "range"is quite obviously the range of the vehicle on one fuel tank. Not the range of the gun, not even ammunition dependent.

unit cost

"unit cost" lacks a dimension (currency) and a source. What is the unit cost? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.56.92.191 (talk) 18:06, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dated Text?

"... for completion in 2009." ?? that's over a decade ago. 75.18.109.180 (talk) 18:09, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Total built is incorrect

In main info number of archers built listed at 48. Article states 7 and 1 built then each county had 24 built. Wouldn’t the total be 56? 47.227.84.51 (talk) 01:37, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
