Considering the sheer amount of reports on the Scimitar, someone should create a Chally 2 style thread to organise and track these reports. Such that bugs can be reported more efficiently than just linking them in this announcement thread.
I guess the 2 part thread about Cr2 does not exist.
Wdym? Isn’t there 2 parts of the CR2 forum “series”?
I think you’ve misread me.
I was meaning we should create a similar style thread to that of the Challenger 2 which you have helpfully linked above, relating to the vehicles stat’s, as well as a list of reports and their status, but for the Scimitar instead of the Challenger 2.
As far as I am aware, most of the reports for the Scimitar are just being linked here, which makes it harder to go though and see what exactly is wrong with the modelling, or missing features, etc.

Hah, I didnt see that one, oh well. Thanks for linking it here anyway.
I think the drop off on pen is too high as it drops off quicker than any other round but thats because it still uses the old apds damage calculator giving it slightly better close range pen. So, depends on what you deem more important, range or close range pen.
Still broken
Gun nerf was too much 30mm APHE wont go through the front of a BMP-1 Sure Gaijin
It’s handling and drive model it acts like its wading through water all the time. Just generally a real pain to play.
Great job nerfing the Fox and the Scimitar to keep those Russian mains happy

The gun hasn’t been nerfed?!
The only nerf they’ve gotten is to turret traverse.
I mean, at range yeah? That was the reason for them developing the APDS, BMPs at range.
The BMP1 has a highly angled front and low caliber APHE is generally bad at penning angles, hence why APDS was developed to increase its pen. There has been no nerf to the RARDENS damage, nothing has come up in the datamines.
However, yes the driving model of the Scimitar is one of the worst of any vehicle ingame, its horrible to drive and needs to be fixed

Just wanted to say, I really appreciate people like you that put not only time and effort, but money into trying to make the game right. Its extremely cool.

My chat ban has been lifted from here so I can say thanks for the appreciation, Id still pick these books up even if I didn’t want to get such lazily modelled things fixed, this is just a bonus

did some tinkering in a usermission and found that changing neutralGearRatio in the vehicles code was set to a value that made neutral steer not work on most terrain
i changed the neutralGearRatio value from 10 to 13 and it was completley fixed
also tried out changing the steering type from clutch braking to double differential and good god its actually drivable (as well as using @Sebbo_the_Plebbo brakes fix)
used this video as evidence for a bug report think people here would be intrested by this too
If anyone has more knowledge in fixing suspension parameters please message me as i want to try and correct the suspension in a user misison mod too

That looks and almost makes me feel how nice it is when fixed

Bug reporting now involves changing game code to show the devs how the vehicle should work…That is wild

That looks great, its wild how the players are better at fixing bugs than gaijin…

I know nothing about computer software but i was able to fix mobility issues (including making the suspension less trash) by changing four lines of code
War thunders coding for tanks seems to be really simple and easy to work with. it may not look the same on the backend but I now dont see why some changes can take years when a guy who is lost as soon as software is newer than 1996 is involved can do it

I also changed clutch braking for double differential steering. double dif currently speeds up the outside track instead of slowing the inside track but is close enough to accurate for changing one thing.
I have the values for accurate double dif steering radius in each gear for CVRT vehicles for if this mechanic ever gets extended to more vehicles in the vanilla game
