J10C WS10B when?

Yep, it honestly could. The soviet mains arguing against that kind of BR for it state that at that BR, tanks would easily be able to kill it, which would render it pointless. But that is such a stupid argument because thats exactly what it should be like for anything with an autocanon. Easily one tapped by everything else.

So yeah. 12.0+ could be perfect for it. Barely even needs upgraded ATGMs, the ones it has quite happily one shot anything that isnt a soviet tank

A-6E SWIP moment?

And?

Literally doesnt mean it shouldnt be added, in fact most Japanese ground players like myself would welcome a change in playstyle much like the T-84

This is the most hilarious take ive ever seen. Its a take for sure

I genuinely dont understand how people still believe this is true

Gaijin threw everyone under the bus when they added the Eurofighter and Rafale.
They also did the same a month before their addition when they added the F-15E to justify them.

If anything, I would be surprised if Gaijin didn’t throw everyone else under the bus.

Gaijin threw everyone who enjoyed WW2, and Cold War era stuff under the bus, when they decided to skip over most of those things to sell janky high rank premiums for $80. We coulda had something great. Let’s also not forget those who enjoy WW1, they have been shafted the most.

I believe personally this is the fault of BvvD chasing money while having an interest into modern tech and it shows, I mean how many dev streams did he show the BMP because of one tiny change lol

I just wanna see what all those Scimmies are for…

Future additions tied to infantry, if I had to guess

The one with the armour upgrade could turn out to just be a mod for the existing Scimitar, similar to the armour upgrade mod on the Warrior

The Sabre is probably going to be a SQV, premium or event vehicle

Were there any other Scimitars in the files? I can’t remember…

There were 4, all but Sabre has Plasan modeled, BGTI and Mk.2 had bar armour modeled too, so I doubt they are gonna be mods. Personally if I had to guess: Sabre 7.7 GE premium, LEP 8.0 TT, BGTI 8.7 Pack with APFSDS, Mk.2 8.7 TT with APFSDS.

Idrc though I just want more Scimmies

A FV101 would be nice too

LEP

BGTI

Mk.2

Sabre

That’s not how WT models work. An upgrade mod would still be on the same model. WT models have all nodes visible by default, and then unnecessary ones are selectively hidden as required. E.g. an armour upgrade is on the model, just hidden if you don’t have the modification. Same phenomenon causes all pylons and rocket pods to be visible on aircraft models in CDK or hangar background.

Does that apply to the BGTI and LEP in the files as well?

I really can’t see them adding 3 seperate new Scimitars.

Would also be a bit of an upgrade, LEP, BGTI, and the Mk.2 all have LRFs + Thermals

(HNY btw Gszabi)

Ah, right.

I really don’t know why they would split the Plasan into three variants when the BGTI could just be a mod for the LEP.

Not sure about the Mk.2, it would depend on the Implementation of the Plasan.
If they don’t give the “Mk. 1” Plasan APFSDS it would probably go into the TT, otherwise it’s premium material

Edit: Is the slat armour even tied to the BGTI upgrade IRL?

Anyways, as I’ve said, three seperate Scimitars seems a bit excessive when two of them could be merged into a single entry

Yes. For a more obviously visible example, the T.O.G. II* model has both the armour with and without the howitzer and sponsons, and you can see them glitching:

Spoiler

Both

Sponson nodes hidden

Stock plate hidden

Point is, separate model = separate vehicle.

Happy New Year to you as well. :)

But domestic USAF & USN 3rd gen fighter aircraft never upgrade to 4th gen fighter aircraft technology (post gulf war), for export operated only

The american tech tree lack F-15 (early service) and F-15E (early service)

Not sure but considering how complete they looked I could see at least one come next update.

At the same time we do have the next BP coming up that one could be used for.

Aight, thanks for the clarification.

Guess we’ll have to see what Gaijin is cooking with those models.

I was thinking that maybe one could go to France via Belgium, but as it turns out, they never upgraded their Scimitars.

Honestly hoping they merge the Mk.1 Plasan (LEP and BGTI), but don’t give it APFSDS and add the Mk.2 as a TT variant with APFSDS.
Gaijin can use an export Scimitar as a premium, if they really want to add one.

How much more does the one with the garden fence weigh?
