Default T16 basically the same as a Windsor Carrier?

Is a T16 basically the same as a Windsor Carrier but with tiller bars instead of a steering wheel?

Harold,

No, it is not:
  • The Windsor is much more akin to the Universal Carrier, it is basically a lenghtened one.
  • The T16 is a completely re-engineered and improved (both in drive train and manufacturing technology) vehicle based on the Universal Carrier.
HTH,
Hanno

mind that said although improved they apparently dont drive on the roads as easily as the Universals due to lack of track warping system so any camber on the road and like modern tanks the T16 would be "Fifty Pencing" along the road....
