Also I’ve recently realised the Vickers mk7’s turret is wrong
In game

In what way?
Just edited it
I dont see whats wrong?
Look at the mantlet there is a hole on the left side and I believe the bottom half is slightly more wider than the one we have in game
Actually looks like a Vickers Valiant or an early Mk.7 turret/Vickers Universal turret on a modified Mk.4 chassis (Then rebranded to Valiant), Probably from the 1982 British Army Equipment Expo.
There’s basically 3 variants of tanks with the Vickers Universal turret all which no-one ever appears to label correctly.
You have the Valiant which is an early Vickers Universal turrets on a modified Mk.4 hull (what you have pictured), but is not a late Mk.4, nor as some claim a Mk.7, (it’s not a Valiant Mk.2 either)
The Mk.7/1 with the early Vickers Universal turret on a Leopard 2 hull (what we have in game)
Then the Mk.7/2, with a late Vickers Universal turret on a leopard 2 hull (what was then taken and interated into the CR2 turret)
Mk.4
Mk.4 late/Valiant Early, with a mockup turret. Notice the difference with the MG position and mantlet shape
Valiant, Sometimes called the Mk.4 or Mk.7, but really it's it own thing, at this point the program was renamed to Valiant
Vickers Mk.7/1, Note the position of the gun coming straight out the point of the manlets armour

I wonder how hard it would be to convince Gaijin to switch the model on the Striker to a later production, instead of the first run of chassis with the floatation screen. I want junk on my tanks you know?
Note the new sight housing, storage on top of the launcher, and the lack of the floation screen whilst still retaining the mount for it. Some were fitted with additional storage on the right hull side.
The big change is upgrades to bring it in line with the Scimitars, note the complete lack of floatation screen, New headlights, and a bunch more storage. Also has a great view of the newier sight housing used with the thermal sights.

I’m honestly not sure it’s modeled as Thrust vectoring
Yea its not, it just spins and has a decent pull, but thats not TVC pull.
ICYMI there’s been a leak list confirmed by Gszabi and it looks like UK not getting shafted! SHar FA.2, MiG-21 Bison, Desert Warrior, Churchill AVRE (and the leak isn’t exhaustive ofc). Glad to finally have a Warrior modernisation.
woah us not getting done over? incredible…
Won’t believe it until I see it however lol
yeah looks very good, a little too good, especially after the last update but its from a reliable source and backed by Gszabi so its a YIPPEE from me

The mig 21 disappoints me tbh. Doesn’t work in the tree like at all.
Same with the IFV, Desert Warrior is fun, but I’d have prefered a CTA40 based platform. As it stands the Desert Warrior is just a worse Dardo. (Worse hp/t and armour).
Churchill AVRE will be intresting depending on model tbh:
- 230mm mortar with under 100m of range
- 165 like on the Cent mk.5 AVRE
- theres also a prototype with a 241mm recoilless gun with ~400m of range. (Prototype was called Ardeer Aggie)
Shar is hype though!
Yeah, Mig-21 makes 0 sense. Once again it would be them just throwing a soviet vehicle at us for the sake of bodging our tree without actually fixing the issues within it.

The MIG-21 does seem an odd choice to make. What did it carry? Could see it being sqn vehicle maybe? Maybe even a prem?
