we need more camo netting on vehicles maybe they could work the camo netting in as a modification that you can turn on and off when choosing a vehicle in the starting battle screen, i know you can take of the premium leopards and thats it really

What ammo does it have available to use?

What BR would it be? I am shocked the legendary Scorpion was not included years ago but modern fast vehicles are killing low tier BRs filled with slow WW2 era vehicles.
Sucking the fun out of it.
Based on similar dart slingers already in game this thing will likely be around 8.0-9.0
Sounds good.
If it gets APFSDS then a definite +1 from me!
That link also contained info for the performance of a 76mm HESH which is great! I’ve searched fruitlessly for stats on it.

That is a primary source too, straight from the manufacturer, if you ever need to bug report XD
Like the other Scorpion that was suggested is the gun stabilized or un-stabilized?
It has stabilized Gunner sights, but i am not sure, so i would assume no. In my head its a direct brit equivalent to the mars 15 MARS 15 - War Thunder Wiki

+1, shocking this amazing little light tank isn’t in game already. Could anyone elaborate on the “range of additional thermal sights available?” What gen thermals are these? For the gunner only or commander as well? Are they standard or only an optional upgrade at customer request?
I think without thermals this would be great for 8.0, between the IKV 91 and MARS 15. Depending on how good the thermals are it would be a higher BR, perhaps 8.7.

have a gander
With the British tree’s lack of light tanks, this tank should already be in the game.
Remembering that the Falcon uses the same chassis.

+1 for me in this light tank
The Scorpion does not use the same chassis as the Falcon.
Instead the Falcon uses the chassis of the FV433 Abbot, which is part of the same family as the FV438 Swingfire.
The FV101 Scorpion is part of the same family as the FV102 Striker we have ingame.
The main difference is the size, weight and mobility. If in-game we take the Falcon and compare it to the FV102 Striker, since the Striker is the closest to a Scorpion we have. Then we can see that the Striker is half the weight of the Falcon, have 38km/h more forward, and can go the same backwards compared to the Falcons 8km/h reverse. Its power-to-weight ratio is also at 22,9 hp/t vs 13,4 hp/t, mainly because its weight is nearly half of the weight of the Falcon.
Tl;dr: Falcon and Scorpion doesn’t use the same hull, and the Scorpion is a lot more mobile.
