Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Yep. Especially with the rather dismall additions for the last 2 major updates

It’s interesting how Naval is significantly more successful and better received on mobile than it is on PC.

Apart from PC’s notoriously bad and slow progression and grind, I wonder what else sets them apart to justify such a large contrast in popularity!

Ive never played or seen much about WTM gameplay. Its more like a WoW damage model right?

HP rather realistic damage models?

Yeah they even have subs over there

I’ve never playede it, but I’m watching videos to find out!

I actually see modules and crew percentages all the same as on PC, so apparently that works similarly.

Unless I am mistaken, however; are the main guns reloading in 12 seconds? That would imply they have faster rates of fire?

Hmm… yeah I just want a short clip too and was surprised it wasnt a HP based system…

Then yeah, looks like slightly more fast paced arcadey aspects. And as weve seen in other gamemodes before. the WT community does lack patience

@Smin1080p_WT do you have any idea where the Removable Bar armour will come to the Scimitar Mk.2?

Having to lug around 13 Tonnes around is extremely awful (now only 12.3 tons thankfully, still way more than it could be)

I was getting outran by an IS-4M for god sake…

I can’t wait to finally have some semblance of mobility with removing bar armour and everything, getting the Scimitar down to a hair above 10 ton

The in-game FV107 Scimitar Mk.2 combines equipment belonging to earlier vehicle variants alongside field modifications first implemented during operations in Iraq. Considering this mixed configuration, should its name be changed to **FV107 Scimitar Mk.2 Early with Urban Protection Package?

The bar armour is fully removeable, it should not be kept on at all times

See:
Leopard 2A4M
M1128 Stryker
BTR-82AT
EBRC Jaguar
And other’s I assume

If its slat armour can be removed, the vehicle would gain improved mobility and better lateral gun depression angles.Is it possible that this vehicle represents an intermediate variant combining equipment from late LEP Scimitars (early thermal imager and laser rangefinder) with the Mk.2 hull? Was any such hybrid vehicle actually built?

The slat armour is add on armour, it can be removed at any time, just like every one of the vehicles stated earlier

I mean, the Scimitar will be able to remove the bar armor once its updated model arrives to the live game

oh I am perfectly aware, hence why I asked when will it be coming to Smin, as it seems ok on the developer’s build

Even if the Roll bar is still mounted, it’d be way more than welcome to be added in that state right now

I hope Scimitar Mk.2 can drop back to 8.0 BR.I don’t understand what unique advantages it has at 8.3.

That’s not the ROPS roll-bar. ROPS was this abomination
s960_ArmyHQ-2013-154-H18_veh_rtn_Marchwood-064g

The “spoiler” was just a mast for CIED antennas with virtually no structural integrity for surviving a roll-over.

Will say something, normally event tanks get spammed to hell for weeks, I am already stuggling to see any other Scimi 2s today lol, maybe 1 or 2 others at most in any game, if that.

Says a lot sadly.

Its planned to be in a separate update.

Okay I was already questioning myself. When people said that those 5mm thick steel sheets were roll over bars you can bet that I was staring at my monitor for a bit XD

There’s a TankCraft modeller’s reference book on Scimitar that has a photo mislabelling the mast as a ROPS. So it has sort of passed into common acceptance, despite being wrong.

The book has quite a few mislabelled images and incorrect bits of info about the post-LEP upgrades - maybe the editors switched some images for copyright reasons and kept the captions. But there’s some nice stuff in the book as well.
