There seems to be alot of content for mobile now that we havent seen in the main game for instance the Type 22, type 21 and HMS Agincourt have all been added to mobile a while ago yet im waiting on them to be added to the main game

Spoiler



Maybe its due to lower quality models meaning development time and costs are lower

Iirc, they are the same models.

Just WTM has a lower graphical setting essentially

I think all 3 could be added to main the game without too much issue (with obivous weapon limitations for the main game for the Exocets) but could be done.

If thats the case there is no reason for agincourt to not be in game yet :(

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

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.
