History

Class: Anti-Tank Missile Carrier
Developed: 1970s
Service: 1970s-1986
Vehicles Built: N/A
Operators: United Kingdom

This British-designed armored fighting vehicle was created as a variant of the FV432 chassis, armed with Swingfire anti-tank guided missiles. A notable feature for this vehicle is that the launchers can be reloaded from inside the vehicle, allowing the crew to remain protected in combat. An interesting feature of this vehicle was that it could be fired remotely by a crewmember located up to 100 meters away from the vehicle, allowing it to stay completely hidden while firing. The FV438 entered service in the 1970s with the British Infantry and Royal Armoured Corp, and eventually transitioned to the Royal Artillery in the 1980s. The vehicle has never seen combat and was phased out in 1986.

Vehicle Traits

• Missiles Only: This vehicle is only armed with anti-tank guided missiles or unguided rockets, making it only viable in mid-to-long-range combat, since both are often difficult to aim at short distances.
• Amphibious: This vehicle is more resistant to taking on water, allowing it to traverse wider rivers or lakes.
• Improved Reverse: This vehicle can drive backwards much faster than other vehicles can.
