Just find it curious that the French, West Germans, and Americans get IFVs while the Brits don't.
Two possible answers:
1/ we are devious anti-British activists, and have been retaining the
Warrior just to annoy our dear neighbours, even more than defeating them at the incoming Six Nations game next week.
2/ we kept to the game's timeframe (1975-1985).
--> introduction of the
AMX-10P in French service: 1973
--> introduction of the
Marder in German service: ~1971
--> introduction of the
Bradley in US service: 1981-1982
--> introduction of the
FV103 Spartan in British service: 1978
--> for the record, introduction of the
FV510 Warrior in British service: starting 1985.
Besides, there was still the
FV432 that we didn't retain either and which was much more widespread in the British Army than the
Warrior.
