The record
The first-generation vehicle retains the original HMMWV chassis and running gear beneath a distinct low Swiss armoured body. The original manufacturer brochure confirms its 3.3 m wheelbase, 1.81 m track and 1.75 m hull height, four doors, rear cargo hatch and one-man observation cupola with thermal imaging, a machine gun and six grenade launchers. The Swiss technical catalogue identifies the service weapon as the 7.5 mm MG 51/71 mounted on the right of the cupola and three smoke tubes per bank. The game uses armour, the shared machine-gun profile and paired smoke salvos. No swimming, winch or emergency-light capability was added.
The model follows Swiss early-series photographs. The 1993 procurement designation is distinguished from 1996/97 Swiss deliveries. Swiss service figures of 118 kW, 393 Nm, 105 km/h maximum and 4500 kg empty mass are used; 80 km/h is the stated legal service limit. The 1994 manufacturer brochure instead gives 117 kW, 125 km/h and 3800 kg bare / 4800 kg combat mass, and 2280 mm width versus the service catalogue's 2270 mm. These differences are preserved rather than treating later Eagle IV/V specifications as applicable. Queue production total 192 (156 Switzerland, 36 Denmark) is retained, with the service catalogue's 154 Swiss vehicles qualified as a conflicting count. Later second-hand operators are outside the requested Swiss/Danish configuration. Four paint tones approximate photographs, not an exact stencil. Grip .85, drag 3, steer 1 and accel 1 are gameplay tuning. Unverified unit markings were omitted; shared number plates are generic game plates.
Model review correction, 29 September 2026: both smoke banks face forward, with matching forward emission from their mouths. This supersedes the earlier rear-facing model interpretation.
