The R400 was called different classifications, such as TH400 and H400. Here is proof: Some years ago, the then Thyssen Henschel developed a complete family of wheeled armoured fighting vehicles as a private venture called the TH-200 (4 × 4), TH-600 (6 × 6) and the TH-800 (8 × 8). Details of these were given in Jane’s Armour and Artillery 1997-98.

Development work on the TH-200 and TH-800 stopped some years ago and Thyssen Henschel subsequently became Henschel Wehrtechnik and development work on the TH-400 continued.

With the acquisition of Thyssen Henschel by Rheinmetall DeTec, the vehicle became the H-400 and, in early 2000, the former company became known as Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH.

More recently the designation of the vehicle has been changed yet again to the R-400.

As of mid-2004 there were no plans for the R-400 to enter quantity production. The vehicle has however been used as a testbed for other Rheinmetall company subsystems.

“TH-600” doesnt exist.
The 6x6 vehicle of this line was TH 400.
This designation was used until Rheinmetall DeTec aquired Thyssen Henschel in 2000, at which point the vehicle was renamed to H 400 and shown together with the AOZ 2000 FCS at EUROSATORY 2000.

Later (<October 2001) the subdivision HENSCHEL Wehrtechnik had been disbanded and the vehicle subsequently renamed to R 400.

The variant we have in-game is essentially H 400 (EUROSATORY 2000) but may very well have been in that exact configuration when the name was changed to R 400 in 2001.

Also just for the record, Thyssen Henschel NEVER used “-” in their designations. (Same as with TH 301)

That is infact correct i guess, i was suggesting them to do the same thing as they did with the TH800 to give it other names too because it is majorly referred to as the TH400
