Designer Notes
---------------

*"Roten Teufel" or "Red Devils" was the nickname given by German troops to British paratroopers, due to the red berets they wore at times and their fierce determination and skill. The officer model is a fairly decent proxy for a British Paratrooper - excluding the incorrect Brodie helmet dangling on his back...

**Works much like the T-70's "recon mode" where sight range is dramatically improved but the main gun can't fire.
