I guess the devs felt it was too fast

Yeah, too powerful ./s xD
Though I still dont get why i cant go over 50kmh even on roads and concrete maps like the port 1 (cargo?) where everything usually goes max speed. It feels like gaijin put a soft limiter in specifically at 50kmh.

Made a report on it, seems when you hit 7th gear the RPM crashes and you get stuck going 50.
In before “not a bug” or “not enough information, provide precise RPM for gears using an OEM” or something.

8.0 vehicle with dart if we’re being generous. People already thought it was DOA when it was first datamined to be 8.0, no idea what Gaijin was thinking making it 8.3.

as soon as i saw its model in a datamine i knew it would probably not be too great. it currently gets dunked on by the base scimitar easily

Is it just me, or does the cope cage interfere with the Gun depression? Anyways, this thing is not fun to play! 8.3 is far too high!

Make the stupid damn cage removable! All it does is take away my depression and make me slowly while literally giving little to no extra protection!!!

Got upgrade for coupon and I think I will just sell it. As expected, its not worth playing at 8.3.
its hard to deal with The Chinese and Russian garbage MBT’s with APFSDS that out mobility you when you are stock.
Plus the APHE is so damn bad.

The Sight sucks, its too zoomed in, the mobility is garbage, and you can’t turn at speed due to the Garbage gaijin has done to British Transmissions in recent updates, where if you hold A or D for more than half a second it makes the track lock up and stops you dead even if you are doing 30mph.
Its fighting MBT’s that shouldn’t even have APFSDS. And its all around just in a horrid spot.

Why are you being so hard on yourself? You’re a good player with a 1.3+ KD and tons of experience. I think a lot of people would find your opinion helpful, so thank you very much. Im gonna sell this garbage.

Wouldn’t be the first time that “maximum speed” is actually completely impossible to achieve in the game without a convenient hill to roll down from.
But in this case the transmission is straight up broken, a nice little extra sprinkle of badness on this turd of a vehicle

From what I can tell the gearbox is not the problem. It’s ratios are basically bang on correct.
It’s just far too fat for the engine, especially as the game doesn’t exactly model horsepower or torque well at all
Doesn’t help that it is over realistic weight

Thank you for the kind words.
If I’m honest, I’m a bit of a hoarder when it comes to British vehicles so, I’d urge people to hang onto it, and don’t sell it; at least not yet.
Theres no way this thing is going to stick to 8.3, I believe Smin has already said they are watching its performance closely, and the devs have seen the APFSDS and can potentially add that if needed (its needed).
Being able to remove the cage is coming too and should help with the mobility issues a little bit, however I imagine it will still be slower than the regular Scimitar and theres a few people working hard on bug reports for the other issues so I’m sure these changes will come.
It’ll get sorted out eventually, so all I can say is try and wait and give it time and if they still don’t get fixed, then sell it.

Main issues seem to be
Non-removable slat
Non removable tea table / Antenna
Lack of APFSDS
Refusal to recognise the existence of spall lining

My first ever event vehicle and test driving it feels terrible… Only to make it worse… I haven’t got through the British ground tree … 600,000 points to sell it?! Is that normal? (I wonder how much the 279 was)
How do you like the reward? Was it worth it?
