Hi guys currently the FV 721 Fox armoured car’s performance in the game appears to be significantly nerfed compared to the actual historical specification of the vehicle which I will now outline below along with a collection of sources including the official company specification for the Fox:
The current stat card is taken from dev stream:
This should listed as the following stats that are currently incorrect with the historical changes in bold and underlined which are backed up by my sources posted in the source section:
30mm L21A1 automatic cannon (Ammo: 99) should be 96)
66mm smoke grenade launcher x8 should be ** 16 (The Fox carries 8 additional grenades for reloading in the field)**
Fire Rate: 80 rounds/min ** should be 100 rounds/min**
Mass: 6.1t should be 5.67t giving it 34 bhp per ton
Engine power: 190hp at 4500 rpm should be 195hp at 5000 rpm
Max speed: 99km/h should be 104 km/h (64.6 mph)
Additionally the Fox should have commander controls, though i was not able to test if it did in-game so I don’t know if this needs bug reporting.
