Fantastic news, this marks the first Scimitar with thermals and LRF and will lead to a great whining and gnashing of teeth as every time a new British light tank is added.
I want the Ferret Mk5 and at a funny BR. Like 7.3/7.7

that’s a cope at this point
Too right, the game needs more MCLOS shitboxes in the early Cold War BRs.
This vehicle is worth 5k points a day, maybe 6k. Not 35k which is insane.
Wheres the gambling boxes?
How?
Its a hull that is literally not in the game.
Its a modified turret which again, is not in the game.
Its a dedicated light recon tank that the British Army used at a BR bracket where there is no IRL British Army light tanks in the game (Warrior does not count even if used in recon roles tbh).
Its got gen 3 thermals which I dont think any British tanks have in that rank.
Its got the potential of APFSDS which none have in thar rank too if gaijin add it.
I keep seeing people like yourself claim it is copy-paste, but never actually explain how.

The Mk.5 is the Swingfire Ferret
IDK if you are meme-ing but damn I do love my MCLOS meme boxes.
will it be premium ?
Then why did they add stuff like T-80UM2, Leopard 2AV or Object 292. All of them are estentially just modifications of vehicles that are already in the tech tree. T-80UM2 & Leopard 2AV are obvious, but Object 292 is just a T-80U with a different cannon.
Why is the Churchill Crocodile a tank in the game, it is also an event vehicle, but it is a just a Churchill VII with a trailer and flame thrower?
In the same way, why then add stuff that already exist as an event vehicle to the tech tree, they already are in the game? BMD-4 were already an event vehicle for a long time, but they still added BMD-4M & BMD-4M2.
What is unique enough? That is a very vague goal post, that is easy to move.
A completely different hull is not unique enough, like with the Scimitar Mk.2? Then EFV should also not have been added? What about T-44 (FM), it is also counted as a event tank, is it unique enough? Or do the event tanks have to be one of vehicles with no commonality with other vehicles such as the 38 cm Sturmmörser, or is it also not unique enough because it shares the hull with the tiger 1?
Or are event vehicles with some small differences compared to tech trees vehicles good event vehicles? Where do the line go for what is unique enough?

Its most likely coming with generation 2 thermal sights since it uses the same sighting system and FCS as Warrior (Warrior was downgraded to generation 2 thermals like mid last year.
Russia has far more than 8. There are already 3 russian events this year

Is there any plans to add the Scimitar Mk.2 with L21A1 APFSDS? Or will it continue using L14A2 APDS?
I play 45 minutes a day 🙏😭

Maybe we should expand the range of event premiums
Not this one,
Warrior has BGTI
This one (and the “normal” LEP) has E/MSPIRE which is Gen 1 for early ones or Gen 3 for later upgrades
You can tell the difference using the sight hoods
E/MSPIRE has a single large sighting hood, BGTI has two.
