## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/fv4005.md#general-information)

Description
: The **FV4005** is a Tank Destroyer, a British experimental design that mounted the massive **183mm L4** gun on a Centurion chassis in the 1950s to test the feasibility of a heavy anti-tank weapon; the project was cancelled and only prototypes were built. It weighs 50 tonnes with a crew of four — driver, gunner, commander, and loader — and is tracked. The **Rolls-Royce Meteor 4B** produces 650 hp for 13 hp/t and a top speed of 35 km/h, with neutral steering.
The 183 mm gun is supplemented by a **7.62mm L3A1** machine gun; the gunner has 2.5x and 5x telescope sights with no rangefinder. The large, fixed fighting compartment earned it the nickname "the barn."
This vehicle features a single addon: **Barn**. The Barn addon is free and equips the FV4005 with a cosmetic skin that transforms the massive turret and hull's silhouettes to resemble a barn.
