Get the Scimitar Mk.2 in the Scimitar Strike Event!

2 or 3 is my typical minimum these days, was higher but new job means I can only play on weekends atm so my skills have been slipping ;-; Used to be more around 4 or 5 per match on loose average

Honestly I think it’ll be more than that. Other copy-paste vehicles have gone for more. I’d say it’ll be 20gjn or something close.

as if thats a bad thing.

vehicles being 100 bucks is bloody insane

wont be long until we have $100 premium vehicles so i dont see the issue

Sorry, i meant the Warrior has 0.78k/d, 0.81 last month, i was comparing the Scimitar Mk.2 to the Warrior without missiles because it would be heavier, and a bit more bulky with the cage armour and equipment on the roof, I also thought it a better comparison than the Scimitar Mk.1 because it has thermals and a laser range finder

I agree the the scimitar is pretty good, I’ve only dropped 3 nukes, one of them was with the scimitar

Another reason I don’t think the Scimitar Mk.2 should be an event vehicle is that the UK doesn’t really have a good small auto cannon vehicle with laser range finder and thermals around the 8.3/8.7 BR, there’s the warrior which is a bit slow and also has missiles, and the badger which is just the warrior at 9.0 without missiles, but I think the scimitar Mk.2 would offer a more unique play style for the BR and it’s unfair that most player will never play it.

No but I will buy it

I don’t know if Gaijin is aware that, Germany is the only nation that has not obtained a single event/battle pass vehicle this year. And it is July now.🤐

it is the same chassis (on presumably the same battle rating as it wont have more mobility) with same armanment, which has basically ONLY VISUAL DIFFERENCE. So yeah its copypaste. Yes its different vehicle, no it has practically same difference as T-72A and T-72M

As it has all same characteristics and would presumably be same battle rating. New turret didnt bring new capabilities, and new hull is the same as old one.

they got several each year, could live one without.

Do you also claim the M60 is a M48 copy-paste? Or the Challenger is a Chieftain copy-paste?

A 100% different hull.
Improved turret.
Thermals.
LRF.
Improved drive train.
Potentially better ammo depending on gaijin.

What on earth do you think copy-paste means btw? Because I think its different to 99.99999% of others at this point lol.

A copypaste vehicle is literally the same model. ctrl c, ctrl v. This aint that bud.

New M60 hull comes with ability of NOT DYING TO 100mm APHE upfront. Challenger (Or, for example, the FV4030, that is also ingame and is closer to Chieftain) comes with the ability to whistand shots to turret that chieftain cant, plus LRF which CHieftains dont have. Plus they vary in battle ratings and other details. DOes this bring anything?
and… wdfym different hull?

Exactly same.

That’s not an image of the Scimitar Mk.2. This is:

Improved base armour? Slat armour? A LRF? Thermals? Potentially APFSDS?

Because those are the same vehicle lmfao.

Scimitar Mk2 is a different vehicle my dood.

I literally linked a video with the 2 vehicles next to each other.

Compare the hull angle on the front lmao.

Later Chieftain variants do have a LRF

I believe the Scimitar Mk.2 used an extended CVRT Spartan hull for better mine protection, that’s why it looks taller

That’s why I’m a bit annoyed it’s not a tech tree vehicle

Man I wish I bought the gecko models scimitar mk1 and 2 and built them last year when I had some down time now just to put them next to each other.

Its hard to find actual comparison pics with both together in 1 image.

lmao

Google said it is, my bad

Would it cover for improved protection tho? At least autocannons with APDS?

If it would be it would be interesting. But devs in their propaganda sheet said that:
“The Scimitar Mk.2 is an upgraded version of the agile British Scimitar reconnaissance vehicle. It features a new turret and additional protection in the form of composite armor elements and slat armor, while a new diesel engine compensates for the increased weight. The Scimitar’s key strengths remain: high speed, good reverse speed, and a 30 mm automatic cannon.”
There are nothing about new APFSDS or thermals/stabs/lrfs whatsoever. So i judge by what i see.

There is MK10 which does and others dont. EVen 900.

Well, then it counts i believe. Okay!
