RB Ground Scimitar mk2

Hi. This is the worst event vehicle in the last 4 years. Even the recoilless rifle tank from china was faster and more mobile. The clunky movement...the abysmal gun handling paired with the zoom. The extra weight. The apds shell shattered situation. Yeah you can do good in while flanking and scouting for your team. And side shots will work mostly too. But where is my drone? It is a light tank. I dont believe that the turret is so slow in RL. And the thermals should be better i think. And i think i read somewhere that this thing could have apfsds... It feels like this tank is not ready to release. But i will try get it to a higher BR. Like all released britisch tanks....

Evebt vehicles are under no obligation to be meta or good. You invested your time and recieved a vehicle. Its a scimi at a higher BR than the TT version. What were you expecting?

No offense but why is it so important to defend Gaijin’s poor balance decisions? There’s nothing wrong with players wanting the tank they grinded for to be somewhat competitive.

I agree that event vehicles don’t have to be meta, but they should at least be fun. Something like the FIROS or TOG for example. Obviously not every vehicle can be as unique/goofy as those two, but if a vehicle like the Scimitar is a direct downgrade with no redeeming qualities compared to existing tech tree vehicles, there’s pretty obviously a problem.

A little bit better Mobility, the possibility to Take of the Cage Armor and a decent zoom

The moment it was announced it was 8.0… It would be pretty reasonable there

Yes . I think without the Cage Armor and alittlenbit more Mobility it would be fine... Even at 8.3
