210,000 XP in a week for a worse Scimitar?
The only good thing about the Scimitar is it’s small and mobile. This mk.2 is taller and slower for marginal gains, yet is somehow 8.3 br, 0.6 higher than the mk.1.
I know British BRs tend to be higher than those of other nations, but the Scimitar mk.1 is already not a very competitive light tank at 7.7, so what is the justification for the worst 30mm autocannon to be 8.3 when Russia has radar-guided 37mm AA at 7.7 and a similar 30mm autocannon at 7.3?
Let alone if you compare to the Warrior, which is comprable in a lot of ways and even gets MILAN 2s
Has been closed for not enough evidence saying
You have not proved that in-game modification is an upgraded one.
Even though Scimitar Mk.2 was a completely new built vehicle from 2010, made after the upgrades to Mk.1s.
Gaijin conclude that the Mk.2 was built with thermal imaging equipment that was already established as obsolete on the Mk.1
I mean knowing how the British procurement system works… It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if they cut some deal for the Gen.1s that was something like: they get a 1% discount on the Gen.1s, but all vehicles must be built with that model of Gen.1 for the next 50 years and all upgrades to Gen.2 must be done through the same company after said vehicles arrive at their units having already been built with Gen.1s.
I doubt it in the case of CVRT2 as they did seem to actually care about this vehicle, only to abandon it for the steaming pile of junk that is ajax last year
Let me guess the bean counters decided that having functional equipment was too costly, so they went for something cheaper that will be completely useless until it’s been rebuilt 3 times at 5 times the cost of just buying the good thing to begin with…
I’m not trying to hate on the UK but it’s been a bit of a pattern…
I hear it’s actually really good now.
oh my. So heartwarming that Brittain gets such a nice treatment, meanwhile, Gaijin locked two mass-produced Hungarian tanks behind a Battlepass and an event. The Toldi II and Turan II. Despite the fact that an experimental version was and is available instead of the mass-produced Toldi II, and early production versions were and are available for the Turan II. But ofc Gaijin doesn’t do their research.
Would have been nice if the same thought process had been exercised back then too, instead of messing up the Hungarian subtree.
yep thats ajax. instead of buying CV90…
I can personally say that the SA80 platform is good, i fired plenty of rounds through a2 rifles as a cadet and the only failiures i ever had were from faulty magazines. it was just RSAF enfield not having the right tooling more than anything, to be honest thats just like ajax, ASCOD 2 is probably a perfectly fine platform, the manufacturing is just abysmally poor on QC.
its going to 8.3 bro its gonna suck real bad.
I don’t know to much about the A2, but I have not heard good things about the A1, it was all dropping the mag, cracked frames and shooting the gas piston down range, then the system (I don’t know if that was the A2 or A3) went through a full rebuild with H&K, if I recall correctly, and the current system is pretty GOATed.
Industry is in a sorry state in general… you are still hard pressed to out do the old Lee-Enfield .303 IMO…Yeah I’m a sucker for the classics.
NICE!!!
Can we Immediately ask to take this into account for the next already created, but not added yet, Scimitar BGTI?
So its now like that for those who spend time on your game? Thank god you shifted from the fans to whales for unique playstile, how would we live otherwise…
If only
In reality it’s a true reflection of the British defence industry where the company has been sold, renamed, and merged to high heaven.
The company that made the Gen 1 sight - Avimo (British), no longer exists and became part of Thales (France). However, the Avimo sight was based on licensed technology by Hughes (American), which later became part of Raytheon. But some of Raytheon’s thermal imaging business was sold to Leonardo (Italy) so design authority for it might be there nowadays.
Thales can’t actually produce the Gen 1 sight any more because they’re not the design authority for it and whoever is the DA, no longer manufacture the Gen 1 equipment that the Avimo system was based on. IIRC Thales not being design authority for the Gen 1 sight is outlined in the parliamentary proceedings linked in the ticket.
Which is why to build new sights for new built Scimitars, the UK have to have used either the Gen 2 BGTI system (which is used on some Scimitar Mk.1s but looks very different to the sights on Scimitar Mk.2), or the described Gen 3 system where Thales replaced the Hughes/Avimo designed parts with parts from the BGTI system Thales do have design authority over.
oooh. me likey. what a pretty tank
Any idea why they think this things equal to the warrior when its just a rarden with no ATGM?
The military industrial complex is a frigging nightmare…
Its true! I ended up with 4-5 accepted reports on the Ajax when it was added lol
