Well anytime it seems myself or anyone else has an adverse opinion, and bring up statistical data, we get spam reported, and insulted constantly 😂
But I just think it’s a little odd there’s two of pretty much the same vehicle at 7.7 (which the schimitar could stay an 7.7, and fox should be an 8.0) then the ammo rebalance would make them balanced and still be fun
Zero statistical data was posted by you throughout this forum, your personal stats are not factors in how the vehicle performs for everyone.
Because i don’t feel like searching for it all again. You were apart of the “Fox is overpowered forum”
You saw it then, you go find it in that forum if you need to see it again.
How about… Noooo :L
Personally, the only OP point I see with the Fox is that despite having wheels, it achieves a lot of speed on any terrain, when depending on the terrain it should lose some of that speed. Thus, the Scimitar would make more sense, since the Scimitar is slower in general but better on all terrain, while the Fox would be better at taking advantage of roads and hard terrain.
The fact that the Fox’s armor stops shots is simply due to poor game programming, it has nothing to do with the tank itself. There are times when light tanks stop APDS-FS bullets at 0º. In the case of the Fox, it is possible that it has poor programming that causes shots in certain areas to have no effect.
Do all tanks lose the ability to move their turret and shoot when their sights are destroyed in game?
My engine got shot out by an m56 yesterday, and suddenly my coaxial mg wouldnt fire… so may just be buggy. (And by all rights I should’ve been able to kill said m56).
I was in a t-34-100 for reference
no this is just a weird thing with the Scimitar
no, this is a modelling error which I’ve reported. Scimitars turret and gun operation are all manual, the lower part of the periscoped and gunners sight don’t affect the ability to shoot on a real scimitar

Yet when you inform Gaijin of an issue on a British vehicle they just view it and move on as if they never even saw the bug report.
I was helped by people like gunjob and devilo6 with finding information for the report, hopefully if we all work together we can push gaijin to actually get declassified vehicles correct for everyone
Would be nice but im not hopeful lol. I also found a source for all the proper L60 series engines and made a report of that too.
Alot with its neutral steering fixed.
just found your report and upvoted it, well done on finding sources
Thank you. As for the L60 I think that’s the only source we will ever need lol. Its all directly from the Leyland Society and has everything the devs could ever ask for. I would really like to see that 840 BHP engine in the Mk10.
I was recommended by Jarms to have more than one source (yes even if its from the manufacturer otherwise it can be claimed to be “marketing BS” like a source on typhoon was yesterday) also make sure that you say which page the relevant info from the book or manual you use as your source is mentioned as the devs won’t read a whole PDF for a single change.
Full sources are accepted however arent always necessary, if applicable say what the books ISBN (or equivalent) is too
speaking about british AFV engines or around the 1960’s, why so obsessed with “60”, L60 (Cheiftain, Vickers 1/3), K60 (FV432 Family), J60 (CVR(T) (atleast early CVR(T)s) and Fox)
Is there a code behind it, L60, K60, J60,
Just general piddling
I always thought the L stood for “leyland” and J for "Jaguar but having a K for Rolls Royce throws that out the window. Then again the WD has always loved using almost the exact same designations for everything, just look at how many things are called the “L1”
One thing that could be done is to leave the Scimitar at Br 7.7 and raise the Fox to Br 8.0 or 8.3, since the Fox is clearly superior in terms of speed. Another interesting thing is to fix the mobility of the Scimitar, since it steers horribly, loses a lot of speed just by turning a little and turns extremely slowly.
