Deathwing Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I know an FV432 is about 5.25m long but does anyone know how long it is with a Fox turret, i.e. how far further forward the barrel extends? Many thanks! Merlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiomike7 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 IIRC the barrel does not project beyond the basic silhouette of the 432 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ever saw one or two in service, and then on a vehicle park, so this is conjecture to some extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiomike7 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Deathwing did stipulate forward but I agree gun rear would overhang. I have only driven an ex Berlin Brigade one for a few miles cross country but the extra top weight was very noticable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
