id love to see it, laser rangefinder and thermals in with the cummins diesel for more power. id take the slat armour off as it just increases weight.

Visually it’ll be in the skeleton of the model, but I don’t know where it be physics wise though

I’d prefer a late Mk.1, the Scimmie hull is a bit lighter that the Spartan hull the Mk.2 uses
mention me if you plan on making the megathread
god i hope gaijin decides to fix the damn oversteering
Good idea i may make a megathread for the scimitar.
ill let you know when i do
You could always add both, one as a regular item in the tech tree, and the other as a premium item.
It would be great if all four TES were in the game. The Challenger 2 TES, the Warrior TES, and the Scimitar Mk 1 and 2 TES. But I’m sure Gaijin won’t do this. Why? Because it’s a good idea, and Gaijin isn’t there to do things right.
PS: It seems that the Scimitar Mk2, apart from being taller, also has added armor plates.

AFAIK That was to help with blast protection (IEDs etc) and would have fairly minor effects on kinetic protection

Scimitar 2 has a Plasan Sasa applique kit.

good news for scimitar fans
brakes and neutral turn reports are accepted.
also getting an extra 2.7 horsepower for the engine as the game works in metric horsepower but was still using the mechanical horsepower figure

Now we just have to wait and see if they fix it soon, or if they’ve accepted it and just put it on the shelf for the next 5 years.
Honestly having slat armour at around 7.7 - 8.0 would actually be useful, theres a lot of HEAT being fired at that BR

Really good to see the mobility reports go through, driving Scimitar in WT is actually painful.
Let’s also remember that Scimitar is one of the vehicles that had its NVDs ahistorically removed in Update 2.35.1.62

And its crappy thermals it had on the Dev server that gave a somewhat “advantage” over the 7.7 Fox
Yes, but those were not correct for the version of Scimitar that we have in game.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh… ok
BGTI sight hoods are much larger than the original day periscopes, they’re the same Gen 2 TVD found on Warrior.

Those sights I know have thermals but I thought the old ones were also given some very basic thermals as well
I’ll refer you back to this post, it explains the generations of Scimitar very well.
