Are you serious? There is such a unit in game? Or even in real life? hahahahahahaha

See here for some info about the real life version:

And in game, it is the unit 229 in the French OOB (ACMA TAP).

People wonder why I like the French.

The French actually get a lot of neat stuff in the game in the 1950's, including some of the first ATGMs (SS-10, SS-11 and Entac), AMX-13 (especially the version with both cannon and ATGMs), decently armoured APC, very fast armoured car (with the long 75mm cannon on top) and a very fast lightly armoured carrier for the 106mm recoilless rifle.

Perhaps I should try a 1950's French vs. USSR campaign at some point.

Pitty these poor guys its an accident waiting to happen, due to the small wheels & limited suspension even hitting a pot hole on a scooter is scary let alone going offroad with it. Plowed field some shellholes or mud etc would call for brain removal first or walking pace.
