Was it actually cleared for British Jaguar? I know about tests on sea vixen and harrier. Or we going off “the French can do it, why not us?”
I thought I read online it did, but no sources that I would trust enough for a bug report. Might have been french jags being applied to all jags
The Scimitar has gen 1 thermals on the dev, which is nice i guess
However its movement feels VERY weird, i dont think the neutral steering is finished and you can turn so fast you basically roll over
Seems about right…
CVRT was known for being a wild ride, and the scimitar made it very top heavy.
The turning over may be right, but the driving is genuinely horrible
The neutral steering barely works and it oversteers a LOT

It shouldn’t. It doesn’t have a thermal sight head on the model, but has the SS100 (L2A1) image intensifier telescope in the housing next to the Rarden. When SPIRE or ESPIRE are installed on Scimitar, the SS100 is replaced with a coolant reservoir
ed:- Pic of a Scimitar fitted with BGTI showing the reservoir in the old night sight housing
Unfortunately I don’t have any showing it on an ESPIRE vehicle as well. But the L2A1 is redundant, and removed on all Scimitars with thermals.
Did it get its spall liner?
It does not as far as I can see
TBH Scimitars mobility isnt too bad once its moving but, feels fairly sluggish to get going though? Also noted that on the modules it has “wheels” not tracks. Kind of funny. Also noted that gaijin gave it a lot of random extras to fill up the vehicle with.
When hovering over the modules though, it has FCS in the turret, and suggests damaging it causes the vehicle to be unable to fire? Seems a tad wrong ngl lol. Or is it just a “if the gun used this, it would happen” thing?

Turning bug report for the Scimitar :)
I also noted that the engine is the Jaguar J60… but claims to drink diesel fuel… isnt it a petrol engine?
Feels to me that, plus the thermals, etc, model wrong etc, gaijin wanted a Cummins diesel engine Scimitar with thermals, but the model guy made a original production vehicle and they are in the middle of turning it back?
edit: this stuff is for the SPIRE thermals right? Which it shouldnt have?

So it looks like Scimitar is supposed to be stock standard, anyone able to report that it shouldnt have the huge FCS throughout the turret? I dont have any direct documents so would just be a case of reee’ing into the wind.
Brimstone, max range i got so far was 18-19km from 10k in altitude. The missile itself self destructs after 60s of flight no matter if the missile is perfectly tracking the laser or not.
Brimstones could be good at maybe 11.0/11.3 BR but at 12.3 the PGMs seem like they will be just better in basically every way in an actual game scenario.
It is because the battery is only set at 60s, seems to be lowest of the pgms.
Good luck bug reporting that one!

I’d be tempted to just ditch the tornado altogether, run the harrier Gr7 for the 4x AGM-65 and a platform that can reasonably turn fight if needed.
Just need to get the Gr7 a better Tpod and it’s missing 2x 65s

Can always rely on the Gripen
Or even that
Yeah, the GR7 with 6 Mavericks would be really nice. Which T-Pod is it missing?
