Trivia

 * In Front Mission 3, battle skills are learned by equipping specific wanzer parts. When equipped, Vinedrai gave:
 * E-Evade2 (Body) - Decreases the enemy wanzer's evasion rate by 2 levels.
 * Aim-Arm (Arms) - If wielding a burst shot weapon, then when this skill activates all the shots will hit the arm of the enemy wanzer (the weapon-wielding arm first usually); very useful for rendering an enemy wanzer ineffective for the remainder of the battle and/or for attempting to force the pilot to surrender.
 * During the game, most - if not all - wanzers equip their weapons on the left arm part. Aim-Arm seems to target the left arm first. This gameplay mechanic implies that if the player uses a right-handed wanzer - equipping the main weapon on the right arm, then when an enemy wanzer initiates the Aim-Arm skill, it would hit the left arm which may be the shield arm.
 * Experience x4 (Legs) - After taking action and this skill activates, the experience earned for that turn is multiplied by four.
 * The name "Vinedrai" is very similar to the French word "Viendrai" which could be translated as "will come/reach".
 * The original name for the Vinedrai was "Beine Drei" which in German can be translated as "three legs".
