It went into the pile. From watching other people play it, it’s hilariously bad. Speculate as to why they would even attempt to put this pile of crap at 8.3, sure, but Gaijin did a very poor job of implementing it.
I get the impression it exists to be a cheaply made event vehicle.
They’re aware they can’t sell it, and that no one would play the tree version of it, so it’s only good as a month-long engagement bait tank. They’re running out of ideas for Event tanks, so they’re releasing built-to-fail projects at this point.
I have to say without a doubt the worst part of the Scimi 2 is simply the damn fake FCS control of the main gun and turret, so tired of being tapped on the FCS and then “nah cant control the turret or shoot”. It truly is crippling.
I can survive with the annoying 50–52kmh speed cap, but that FCS is so crippling for me, so many times i get a love tap from a 50cal or something and just cant do anything and die.
It would be a Scimitar with actual mobility, and fire on the move capabilities, Due to the 44kg Fluted heavy barrels that created a balanced gun that acted as if it was stabilized.
