Summary
New Event Vehicle: Scimitar Mk.2
The Scimitar Mk.2 arrives as the primary reward for the Scimitar Strike event. This Rank VI British light tank is an upgraded reconnaissance vehicle designed for improved survivability and mobility. While it shares DNA with the existing Scimitar, the Mk.2 introduces a new turret and significantly improved protection suites.
Combat & Mobility
The vehicle's standout feature is its mobility, powered by a new engine and automatic transmission that allows it to reach 80 km/h in both forward and reverse gears. Offensively, it retains a 30mm cannon capable of firing APDS rounds, though it is limited by a three-round clip system that results in a lower rate of fire compared to other autocannons.
