ATF Dingo 2 is an advanced heavily armored military infantry mobility vehicle. It is designed to withstand land mines, rifle fire, artillery fragments and NBC-threats. it can be transported by airplane or transport helicopter. Its weapons station with machinegun or grenadelauncher is controlled via a monitor inside the vehicle.
The Dingo is an all-terrain, MRAP-type Infantry Mobility Vehicle (IMV) that is primarily designed to serve as a troop carrier, though it can also fulfil reconnaissance, command and control, and cargo transport duties.
Armament
It is armed with either a 7.62 mm medium machine gun or 40 mm automatic grenade launcher that is fitted to the roof-mounted FLW 100/FLW 200 Remote Weapons Station (RWS) turret.
Features
A relatively rugged MRAP, the Dingo's layout is fairly straightforward. Its engine and power pack is placed at the front of the vehicle's body, while the crew compartment is located in the centre, and a small cargo section is set at the rear.
The Dingo's chassis is fitted with an armoured body that is specifically designed to provide its passengers with a high level of protection from small arms fire, light anti-tank weapons, and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
Drawbacks
As a wheeled vehicle, the Dingo is also easier to immobilise since its tyres can be burst by gunfire. In spite of its MRAP configuration, the Dingo isn't very durable and remains just as susceptible to larger anti-vehicle weapons. It will be quickly destroyed if it takes too much damage, and in the case of powerful anti-tank mines, will be outright destroyed from a single blast.
Crew Capacity
Including the driver and gunner, the Dingo has a maximum seating capacity of six personnel. It can transport up to four passengers at a time.
The RWS turret placed atop the roof of the vehicle is armed with a 7.62 mm medium machine gun. The RWS MMG comes pre-loaded with a single 100-round belt box and has another 3 boxes left in reserve (for a combined total of 400 rounds). It can transport up to four passengers.
Identical to the baseline MG variant but the RWS is armed with a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher instead.
The GMG feeds from a pre-loaded 48-round grenade belt and has 3 more belts spare (for a total of 192 grenades). It transports the same number of passengers as the MG variant.

Protection[]
All Dingo variants have base armour values of 40.
Body[]
The hull can resist up to 40 points of damage.
Engine[]
The engine can only survive 20 points of damage. A damaged engine will prevent the Dingo from being able to attain its top speed.
Fuel tank[]
The fuel tank can incur just 5.6 points of damage before rupturing. Any damage will cause the tank to gradually leak fuel.
Wheels[]
The wheels on all Dingo variants can take a meagre 6 points of damage. Destroying them will not affect the Dingo's "health" pool.
Turret[]
The RWS turret on all variants can incur 32 points of damage. Disabling the turret will "lock" its rotation/elevation but does not prevent its weapon systems from being fired.
Armament[]
The gunner position remotely operates the Dingo's turret. They exclusively have control over the GMG 40 mm grenade launcher and MG3A1 7.62 mm machine gun.
For rotation/elevation limits, the turret can be freely adjusted in all directions horizontally but has a maximum elevation of 60 degrees and a depression of 25 degrees. For optics, the turret's camera has variable zoom capability and can switch between regular day, night or black-/white-hot thermal vision modes:

40 mm automatic grenade launcher. Fires grenades fitted with high-explosive (HE) warheads.
It can attain a fire rate of up to 150 rounds per minute with a muzzle velocity of 240 m/s. Dispersion is always fixed at 0.006 rad regardless of range. Reloading a new grenade belt takes up to 6 seconds to complete.
The GMG can be zeroed starting from a minimum of 100 m up to a maximum of 1,000 m. Adjustments are made with increments/decrements of 100 m.

It can attain a fire rate of up to 800 RPM and requires 5 seconds to reload a fresh belt. Accuracy-wise, it has a fixed dispersion of 0.0012 rad regardless of distance.
Zeroing ranges are identical to those available on the GMG.
Trivia[]
At release, the Dingo's default zeroing settings were different, and it was not possible to access the vehicle's inventory unless the user was inside the vehicle (AI units were not affected by this, however). Additionally, the GMG's smoke particle effects were excessively large and obscured the gunner's view.
All of these were addressed after the release of the latest Steam version patches (as part of CorePatch).[1]
Despite being classified as an MRAP, the in-game Dingo is quite fragile and typical of all vehicles in the series, will violently explode upon incurring severe damage to any of its primary components.
Prior to the release of ArmA 3, the Dingo was the first dedicated MRAP-type vehicle in the series.

Curiously, there is a hidden third texture (Texture name: karosse_co.paa) that features a woodland camouflage scheme. Based on its appearance, it was clearly intended for German forces.[2]
This could suggest that at some point during ACR's development, the KSK faction may have potentially had the Dingo as a usable vehicle. Unfortunately, the vehicles themselves were not implemented in the DLC's final release. Therefore, the only way to make use of the textures are through custom addons or the setObjectTexture scripting command.
