While the rest of the world was working on their own equivalent to the BMP, the Brits were busy with The Troubles. Funding was focused on the development of small arms, infantry and special operation forces doctrine, leaving projects like the challenger and FV510 in the dust. 

Eventually, the Brits would release the FV510 Warrior to the world in 1988. Like other British vehicles, this was a heavy vehicle with the mobility of a crumpet, the armour of an egg carton, and enough firepower to level a small village before morning tea.

The FV510 Warrior is an infantry fighting vehicle designed to engage and destroy enemy IFVs with its 30mm autocannon while having enough armour to survive a peppering of autocannon fire.

British players may note the similarities to the Scimitar: this is a small-ish vehicle that can threaten almost anything on the field besides tanks. Essentially, you're trading the ability to spearhead and scout for some armour, transport capacity and filling out troop slots. Spearhead is key to the threat range of the Scimitar; allowing a platoon of Scimitars to immediately threaten your enemy's artillery and command units. This means your Warriors would usually be used on the defensive, given that most players would use spearheads to entrench infantry on the flanks. 

As with other IFVs, the Warrior can take a Milan mount if you wish to turn a stationary, nigh-indestructible missile team into a fragile moving metal box of tank explodey goodness.

The uparmored warrior is a knife fighter, and boasting an assault value of 3+ it will quickly rack up kills in assault with applique armor covering it against most light anti-tank weapons. Get in there and get grinding!

==IRL==
IRL the Warrior was created as an armoured transport to keep speed with British Tank units and provide armour and fire support. Armed with the 30mm RARDEN autocannon (which is dumb, it actually feeds from a two three shot stripper clip feed system,) and L7 general purpose machineguns, warriors have become the standard IFV of heavy infantry and mechanised regiments such as elements of the Rifles, Mercians and Foot Guards.
Warriors would see service in West Germany, Desert Storm (where famously one was hit by a US airstrike killing its whole crew it happened to have driven off course slightly into an active killzone), Afghanistan and Iraq, still remaining as the main UK IFV.

The Warrior was supposed to be upgraded with a 40mm cannon(the same cannon on on the General Dynamics Ajax) but the program ran late and over budget. In what was called the Warrior Capability Sustainment Programme. As usual for the load of [[fail]] that is Lockheed Martin. You'd think the Brits would have learned their lessons after the slow process of the F-35 and it seems at least the House of Commons Defence Select Committee has at the very least. The FV510 will instead be replaced by the German designed Boxer A3 in the middle 2020s.
