The Scimitar Mk.2 is basically a late model FV103 Spartan with a late model Scimitar Turret.
If you want a Scimitar with LRF and Thermals there’s quite a few options:
Scimitar E/SPIRE, with Thermals and LRF
Scimitar E/SPIRE LEP, the above but with the Cummins Diesel
Scimitar E/SPIRE LEP EM 235, the above but with a new final drive + uprated engine, and upgraded thermals and FCS.
Scimitar BGTI LEP, a Scimitar E/SPIRE LEP, but with the Sights and FCS from the Warrior.
(There’s also an experimental Scimitar with the TOGS sight replacing the old IR one. But I have not idea about the FCS)
, a Canadian 6 wheeled AVGP that had the Scorpion turret and 76mm low velocity gun. Unless Gaijin pulls it’s head out of it’s ass and fixes HESH, that poor thing will suffer greatly, and you’ll be lucky to scratch the paint on anything in game.
I own the technical handbook of the scorpion and have a R.A.R.D.E report on the 76mm HESH shell to make sure anything related to them is done right. from my report the 76mm should behave pretty much exactly how the 105mm HESH does in game (however slightly slower shell velocity) the LAV with scorpion turret will be on my watch too
Would basically be a Bradley without the Tows on a better chassis.
Eh, the HESH is extremely similar to the 90mm HESH found on the Italian Aubl 74 and C-13 (Which works quite well in my experience) in terms of explosive weight etc[1], so the overpressure performance should work out the same, and with 80mm of pen [2] it should actually be able to upper front plate a Panther etc, so I wouldn’t write off 76mm HESH immediately. Putting around 5.3-5.7 would be fair IMO.
Night vision… is a wierd situation, Gaijin wont add it to vehicles below a certain BR, like im fairly certain the Fox had NVDs and they were removed because of its BR. So Scimitar probably should too?
No idea about IR spotlight though.
Scimitar Mk2 though I think has TVD? (I can never remember)
I mean, I use it at 10.7 on occasion, and regularly up to 9.3. The size is just too powerful.
That’s why I want the Scorpion 90 so bad, the APFSDS doesn’t seem terrible for side shots etc and it has a stab, something the scimmie does suffer with as the ranks climb
Kastet is only 2 (literally a BTR–3DA turret if you want to look into to the weapons more) you’re probably thinking of the other Jordanian mod. Afaik it doesnt really have a name.
2A42 + ATGMs
Scorpion Kastet
Scorpion 90 is my preferance though, I like sniping more than running and gunning. (Would literally be a Mars-15 but with stab)
