why is everyone so scared of a slower tank with the same mediocre gun as the fox? is it just because of the MASSIVE skill issue most players had against the fox or do they think the 30mm apds is better than it really is?

They should stop addind this kind of vehicles. They make tank gameplay just irrelevant.

I agree that things like the BTR and marders shouldn’t be in the game as spamcanons and missile spam makes everything suck however this is not a spamcanon like a BTR nor is it a missile spammer, its not super fast (slower than a leopard 2) nor does it have a solid gun to fight things at 7.7 head on, tank gameplay is still stronger overall. This will be a tank that only kills you if you suck as most tanks have the speed and agility to counter it
If they’re low pen they won’t do alot. But 100+ mm pen at these low BRs are insane.
You’re talking about the RARDEN as if it’s some blatantly undertiered weapon of mass destruction…
To offset, it’s unstabilised, which means fire on the move isn’t that easy, it’s got a horrible fire rate, and at the minute it would appear Gaijin are trying to nerf it (despite the fact it actually needs a buff at the mid to long ranges)
Oh I guess we can do without the Luchs then…
The Brits have been begging for more CVR(T)s, which are our iconic reconnaisance vehicles, for literal years. I doubt most people quite frankly agree with you, the Scimitar looks to be an exciting new addition to the 7.7 lineup.

I despise these rat vehicles so much. They’re fine at BRs 10.0+ where they don’t really have a mobility advantage over MBTs. Gaijin is adding IFVs/recon vehicles into a tank game with no infantry, the role they’re supposed to perform doesn’t exist in this game. So they push their BRs so ridiculously low you end up with Gulf War vehicles being in the same games as WWII tanks. The BR bracket around 6-8 is an absolute cesspol right now with all the rats just racing eachother to the cap.
Gaijin need to stop trying to nerf the round (when it’s actually underperforming) and simply nerf the traverse rates. These were all manual traverse turrets and should be far slower than 60 degrees.
Think of it this way. A good gunner is going to get 3-4 rotations per second with training and adrenaline. That means each turn of the manual traverse is turning the turret 20 degrees per rotation on high gear if it’s 3 rotations a second, or 15 degrees per rotation on high gear if it’s 4 rotations a second. That just sounds way too high for a manual traverse turret. It’s likely closer to 24 - 30 degrees (or 8 - 10 degrees per rotation on high gear).

Lo and behold, a light tank has a mobility advantage over, say, a heavy tank
If you want to take aim at something, take aim at Gaijin’s compression. CVR(T)s are an iconic vehicle, used by many a nation, and were an inevitable addition.
Don’t mind that thing called Scouting existing, it’s not like Scouts can Scout… oh wait

Funny how RECON vehicles can be used to scout for INFANTRY and TANKS. Scimitar were also used as scouts in Operation Granby for the CHALLENGER 1 and WARRIOR and M1A1 ABRAMS.

That’s awesome but in game they will be used to bully WWII vehicles which is my entire gripe towards them.
i was so exited for this, its stupidly slow, almost like the engine only has half its horsepower and your suspension has broken. I really hope gaijin fixes this as I’ve driven in one, I know they are super stable and bloody fast, the opposite of whats in war thunder

and the fact that it over breaks when steering by a ton, sometimes mean to correct just a slight bit to avoid a side of a building, then I’m turning 5x more than I wanted due to holding the D key 1 millisecond too long, its an issue I’ve not seen on any other tank, not even the Striker of the same CVR(T) series

the engine revs for no reason too and like you said for being the fastest production tank chassis in the world its pitiful to be beaten by even bmps.

yeah steering is very twitchy indeed.

All of the CVRTs handle completley differently, yet the one that is the most documented and accessible for accurate modelling gets screwed up hard. Either this was a really poorly done model by a third party or it wasn’t done right for fear of it being a slightly slower but more stable fox

its beaten by centurions on any map with a hill
Yes and the reports from Operation granby said they destroyed T62s frontally with the APDS. Its really annoying how little effort they put into little nations. It seems the UK is getting shafted really hard for a few years now. At least they fixed the FCS to be Radio station.

Removed the thermals and kneecap gun ability because it would both be amazing for Britain and it cant also be added to the soviet tree
Gaijin gave britain something that was average and it did completely break the game, the fox still demolishes people because of opponent skill issues at 10.0, its been my main vehicle from 7.0 up because of it

I only use it at 9.7 with the Gr3 harrier lol yes I’ve seen many well respected war thunder youtubers say that if you want to get good at the game you play Britain. This would mean that hardcore British mains would be a little better then the others with lackluster vehicles now imagine if we had good vehicles. Ive also made a bug report how long do they take to reply its been a week.

The schimitar could be as op as the fox… oh wait… what’s that? It’s owning the game just like the fox did? What a surpise, another vehicle the Brit’s didn’t need
