Gaijin is a true expert at adding hugely flawed vehicles, while at the same time fixing a few errors, and forcing players to endure serious errors for years, or forever.

Those turret plates will be HHA rather than composite anyway, they use small washers and there are turret fittings bolted directly to them.
Edit; or maybe aluminium alloy?

Is it possible that the CRV(T) family has fragmentation protection? In these images, it looked like a kind of layer covering the walls.

IIRC it got suggested before to gaijin, however I think they turned around and claimed it was heat/sound proofing, lol. Or “not enough info”.
Huh nvm, at least 2 reports got accepted in the end

Of course, gaijin never actually implemented them.
I would argue that your pictures showing similar/the same spalling and those reports should be proof, but knowing the snail…

Ah, but they’re only two years old, we have to wait another two years for them to fix it. We’re just so impatient, we need to be patient haha.

Maybe if we are quick enough getting a report through, gaijin might give the scimi 2 its spall on launch… I know I know… a dream…

Also looks like the Scimitar 2s ammo boxes are not armoured currently?
And I think the fuel tanks are supposed to have limited armour also?

Well, asked, and got an answer about if we need more data on the scimi 2 spall lining.
So I guess anyone with any good pics/data use the previous reports to help back yourself up and punt it in to hopefully get spall lining before it goes live and is forgotten for 5 years?

Noticing that Striker’s UFP is AA7017 25mm, while Scimitar mk2 is 7039 20mm, which one is correct?
neither of them are most probably correct, from what ive been able to roughly measure on CVRTs ive gotten close to at museums but i havents been able to get close enough to a striker or spartan hull with a tape measure to give any hard figures

I heard that some Strikers are owned by private collectors. If I could get accurate information from them, that would be great, but unfortunately, I don’t have any of their contact information

CVRTs are quite common in private ownership. they were quite cheap until the ukraine war where a lot of them were sent over there (despite being pretty useless for the most part due to their demilitarisation) so its common to see them at military shows by private collectors or at random little museums across the island

My report for it is accepted and has been bumped in the queue since DEV opened. may appear for second dev server opening.

The fact its happened on multiple RARDEN unpowered vehicles now though is just beyond dumb though. It genuinely makes me question the claims of “thoroughly researched” frankly.
thats the one thing i dont like about dev servers
You have to wait a whole weekend for any reports or stuff to change
Would be much nicer if the normal teaser-dev stream was monday-tuesday, or sunday-monday rather than the normal thursday-friday
