Quicksilver.. hmm, well my jeep's faster in a straight line and they get of the blocks at the same sort of rate so I debate the quick. Also, sadly, the jeep takes those tight bends better than the 0204, which for a vehicle designed for (and I quote) "a quick insurgence role on the battlefield....to exploit weaknesses as they appear in an enemy's defence " is kind of sad.
However there are two other lines from FEN's sales men blurb that save it.. " survive the defensive fire." and " ideal armoured battering ram "
There are not kidding.Ok its not as beefy as your APC. But I wouldn't willingly sit in a jeep whilst some one shot at me. This thing however..
What can I say, compared to an Augusts it feels like you are sat in a safe. I was a little concerned about that turret hatch and down town kid sport of "drop the brick on the APC", but it survived it, and it was nippy enough to get out of the way of the fridge that followed the brick down, which the APC wouldn't have been.After a battle taxi its going to feel a bit small, but for a 4 person squad you have to ask if you really need that much space.
The 20,000c price tag means that a squad can afford to own one (rather than the standard APC lease deal) so no more awkward forms every time you scratch the paint work.If you are coming up from a jeep or an augustus then the higher ride height is going to be the biggest boon. Suddenly you can see what is going on. More importantly so can your sniper. As for the 'battering ram" claim.
Hee! What can I say? Yeap. Works.:)
I'd tell you more but 3rd eye has the rights to the footage.
And I have to say the guys at FEN were most understanding about the state I returned their test model in, which goes to show what good sports they are.Be sure the FEN 0204 is on my slamass list. May be 2 to be on the safe side.
