FV107 Scimitar: Single-Edged Sword!

Yeah, they both use an auto clutch so it would spool the engine adequately to turn the tank.

The Scimi is missing a roof mounted .50 cal

Yes… that’ll definitely help, and not be unneeded thanks to super APDS

That’s the Scorpion 2000 demonstrator, not a Scimitar.

I think it’s like on the CR2s’ RCWS where any model can take it rather than it being variant specific

Okay for one, The Scimitar and Scorpion turrets are different.
Secondly, the British Army never bothered even on the Scorpions, which did have roof MGs in export use, so is rather a moot point anyway.

From what I’ve been told, the only difference is the ammo storage and gun housing/mantlet

Every apart from the base structure, everything is just a bit different. There’s a reason they didn’t drop in replace the 76 with a Rarden when they took the Scorpions out of service, rather putting Fox turrets on top with a adapter ring.

I haven’t done huge amounts of study into them so I didn’t know but it is interesting

I have pics of others with the same mounting…

They could also mount a 240

It would be a good AA gun.

I guess… but… It’s still a 0.50 cal and I’d rather use the 30mm

Weird take.

I’m sorry. My brain has been broken from exam stress the past few weeks

lol,

The RARDEN in my opinion is best used as a precision rifle.

Slow rate of fire and slow turret traverse it’s got good punch though.

Is there any data for the accuracy of the RARDEN irl?

Yes

Yep I’ve tested it in game compared to some sources I found.

The general claim is 1 meter groupings at 1km.

It’s 3 times less precise than it should be.

You should be able to load into test drive and hit the little IR dish on the T-64 with every round.

Has anyone bug reported it?

Will be not a bugged.
