Yes!
+1 for me, especially if it’s capable of firing the far superior Mk2 missile (not Hittile!), and has a better tracking setup than the Tracked Rapier!

You’re telling me that Britain could have gotten something unique instead of an Osa clone? WHY WASN’T I TOLD??? +1

You know what makes this even more annoying? Another suggestion for a rapier platform with 8 missiles was PASSED like months ago! The copy pasta is getting ridiculous lately Im starting to feel the devs have some sort of vehicle quota for each update and if they don’t have the models ready they just copy and past shit just to not get fired

You had me ad bedford vans, adding the rapier system is the cherry on the cake

Gaijin doesnt seem to do a lot of research into Britain going off of subnation additions being preferred over native designs, and when those native designs are added you get an inaccurate disaster like the Scimitar and Chieftains APDS

the scimitar was extremely unfinished too, there is certainly a preference

I haven’t started on the Scimitar… what’s wrong with it?

IKR? I would LOVE a huge, vehicle-focused update if I believed it wouldn’t be 2/3 copypasta…

No, we didn’t. A tiny vocal minority did, and for some reason a tiny vocal minority asking for something gets listened to, whereas the vast majority of people asking not to add something get ignored.

That sounds familiar, eh?

So there’s another similar system?? And? There’s multiple Shilka’s? Gepards? M163s? Stormers? Chaparral’s Roland’s… Who cares, folder it with the passed one, why not cas? is outa hand anyway and they’re both unique vehicles. Plus 1 billion from me XD

Its lacking an ability to get up to speed, still havent got it above 45mph downhill, its got armour holes on the turret ring letting light machine guns kill you and its suspension acts like its got no shock absorbers with how jelly it is. There is also a FCS that gets disabled when the radio is hit, the scimitar never had a FCS in the way it recieved one in WT and it makes you unable to shoot your manually operated gun at whoever just took your radio
