The FV510 Warrior tracked vehicle family is a series of British armored vehicles, originally developed to replace the older FV430 series of armored vehicles. The Warrior started life as the MCV-80 project that was first broached in the 1970s, with GKN Sankey/Defense winning the production contract in 1986 and production ended in 1995. GKN Defense was subsequently purchased by BAE Systems (via Alvis plc). A total of 789 FV510s and variants were manufactured for the British Army, and 254 of a modified version (named the Desert Warrior) were produced for the Kuwaiti Army. The FV510 is planned to be in service until 2035.
In-game[]
Despite its looks, the FV510 Warrior can be a highly effective vehicle to change the outcome of the game or not depending on its user. Like most IFVs, ingame the Warrior relies on the effectiveness of the user in order to successfully be deployed. The Warrior having an autocannon does relatively well in comparison with other IFVs. Like other IFVs, it relies on its high mobility to prevent being hit and has extra moderately thick armor to protect it in order to dish out its damage long enough. Although the Warrior has decent protection it isn't enough to protect against shells such as HE which can do devastating damage.
The Warrior is the final vehicle of the British light vehicles and in all honesty, is disappointing even having the Bradley beat it at its own game having no disadvantages in comparison to the Warrior, and even being a level below it upon max.
