Sure thats for the cannister-launched NASAMS, and not the HML ones?
Thought that was the bundeswehr originally lol
Interesting, have you read that somewhere, or was it conveyed through your contacts in the Dutch armed forces?
I personally talked with ex-Dutch army personnel who worked on the platform (one of which is also in my squadron P4n1C) and there’s a couple articles on it too in Dutch, one of which also in the Dutch defense papers. Recently (last month) it was also a hot topic again in the Benelux papers as we just started tripling our long, medium and short range air defence system capacity, which now sits under a Benelux umbrella structure.
I see, thanks for replying!
I was hoping to read more about the Norwegians use of the weapon system, since i havent seen anything about them launching when mounted on the Scanias.
That response is hillarious and totally unsurprising.
Of course they’ll artificially nerf the Scimmie Mk2 as much as they possibly can

The one for the most recent ZA-35 report was also mind boggling:
“Foreign secondary sources aren’t reliable”
Well guess we need to roll back every nerf and buff that uses foreign secondary sources now, just the rules which will be ignored by tomorrow

Yep.
Next it will be “soviet sources are only accepted”

See those are foreign for everything not Russian, but hey when do Gaijin stick by their own playbook? Every statement is eventually doubled back on…

Knowing Gaijin, The Mk2 is probably a mix of several upgrade programs. So before they divulge which ones they have based it on, it is difficult to bug report anything
Yeah…
They said the Mk.2 is “One of several upgrades” which technically true, but there was only one standardisation for Scimitar Mk.2, that being the Scimitar Mk.2.
Scimitar Mk.1 on the other hand is a different story.
That is true, so hopefully it would be an easy solve.
At worst, shouldnt it have the same thermals as the Warrior? As i understand from the sources in the report, the Scimitars were either upgraded with the M-SPIRE or the BGTI.
Scimitar Mk.1,5
It would be M-SPIRE, Warrior got BGTI and so did Scimitar 1 BGTI and Scimitar 1 LEP(?). Scimitar EM235 went E-SPIRE to M-SPIRE aswell.
Gaijin: PERSPIRING

I’ll see myself out.
The files for WT Mobile 's monthly major update are appearing, which will probably go live sometime this week. In addition to the JS Takanami (DD-110) previously found in WIP condition in a recent WT devserver, and the La Fayette stealth frigate which will be Mobile 's first French missile ship, for the techtree-researchable filler ship they will be adding the F126 Niedersachsen
which will be the first in WTM to have not been built whatsoever
Also, they added the file for a weapon called " au_450_torpedo ". Traditionally, the name for a torpedo in WT is composed of three parts: first, a two-letter ISO code for the nation whose boat or ship is planned to be the first to receive it.
Then, the common name for the torpedo, which may or may not include it 's diameter expressed in millimetres or inches, and is not necessarily the same as the name which will be visible on statcards, Xray popups, and killfeeds ingame.
And last, the word " torpedo " itself for sorting purposes or smth.
For example, " jp_324mm_mark_46_torpedo "
There 's not a lot to work w/ on " au_450_torpedo ", since the extended ( ingame-visible ) name has not yet been added, and neither have indications for the vehicle it’ll be used w/. At the least, it does not appear that the number is referring to the diameter, since the measurement units are not expressed.
EDIT:
Also also, the 3rd anniversary of WTM event will be starting soon, as evidenced by some changes to the " battle royale " event gamemode introduced in last year 's version, the addition of commemorative decals, and the time of year.
Last year 's version of the event had the world 's only operational missile-armed ground effect vehicle, Pr.903 Lun, as one of the prizes. This year might also have something similarily out of the ordinary.

They rejected the parliamentary memo, Thales themselves and the physical business quote for the work to be done on the Scimitar for it to get M-SPIRE. I cannot put into words the frustration and how jaded I am. Also hello my fellow Xbox gamer
