History
This model represents the original petrol vehicle in British green/black service finish, rather than a later diesel export conversion. The coaxial machine gun is visual; the game primary uses the main gun, and its smoke system has four paired salvos. Top speed 72.5 km/h and combat mass 8,074 kg follow the queue/reference record. No confident torque value was recovered: the prefilled 178 Nm is a derived gameplay default. Grip 0.Shorty, drag 3.5, steering 0.85 and acceleration 1 are gameplay tuning. The top speed, power, mass and grip lie outside the central fleet range because this is a heavy, powerful but relatively slow fully tracked vehicle. Reference image filenames pic1/pic2 show different long-gun turrets and were not used as the FV101 turret template. Brunei square lamp upgrades and export sand/unit markings are excluded from this British base. Existing country fields retained; Iraq is a deployment location, not an operator.
