The Warrior is a great, highly agile, incredibly fast and well protected IFV but the Vickers Rarden turret is crap. The 30mm Rarden steam gunnery is a joke and there is still no Thermal Sight on the thing. The II sights on there were proven crap in the first stramash in 1990/91 and eff all was done about it then....The Alvis people in Telford produced a world beater but the export version is light years better than the bog standard British Army one.
