My favourite dit about the Scimitar is when it was in the Falklands, one was driving over a frozen lake with no issues. When it stopped for the commander to dismount to get his bearings, he broke through the ice due to him having worse ground pressure than a literal tank
Scimitar and Scorpion are VERY well known at least in England. Partly due to action man tank being a scorpion. It’s also just been in so many conflicts and has the all time speed record for a tracked armoured vehicle. So yeah it’s pretty well known and iconic. Long overdue addition.
Nice job with this Pages of History! Unlike the previous video on the Su-34, I have no criticisms! I can get behind this new format. I like providing constructive criticism, so here I am. Also tell Jimmie Ashe he’s awesome for what he does, heck the whole WT team is spectacular (aside from balancing sometimes, needs some work there lol, and maybe some love for Sim and Naval)
True fact: Iran acquired the FV101 Scorpion (the Scimitar's sister) from the UK and used them in their war against Iraq. Later, they reverse engineered the chassis for their own manufacture, and created their own Scimitar, called the Toosan.
Dear Gaijin Team, I just wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you for creating War Thunder. It's clear that a lot of effort and passion has gone into crafting such a detailed and immersive game, and I truly appreciate the work that goes into making each vehicle, map, and gameplay feature so authentic and exciting. The attention to historical detail and the variety of gameplay keep me coming back for more, and it's incredible to see how the game keeps evolving with each update. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. War Thunder is something truly special, and it’s been an amazing experience to be part of this community.
That’s true, but also I think Gaijins gets criticizing because the fans want to see the game be better. While it’s an amazing collection of vehicles in a realistic but fun game which is one of a kind, it’s also a heavily monetized and predatory on your time. Also we’ve been playing the same gamemodes since the start of the game. Air battles are a team death match, and tank matches are king of the hill. I love war thunder sooo much but I’m burnt out on the same gamemode over and over. There’s no variety. We could get bomber escort missions, strike missions, defending ridge line or pushing a defensive line idk something to add some variety to the monotony. Better graphics and cool effects are nice and a new vehicle here and there are good. But if I’m playing them on the same map to attack the same point from 5 years ago I’m going to get bored quick.
@0:15 "...centurion or chieftan, but they weren't really used much in actual combat..." You sure about that Warthunder, you should know your history... Centurion involved in major conflicts: Korean War (1950-1953) Suez Crisis (1956) Indo-Pakistani War (1965) Six-Day War (1967) Indo-Pakistani War (1971) Yom Kippur War (1973) Vietnam War (Australian use: 1968-1971) South African Border War (1966-1989) Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990) 1982 Lebanon War (1982) .............
“An Ode to War Thunder”. Oh basement man, oh basement man, tell me the ways to gather the golden eagles. I’ve pillaged the D point, and I’ve sold my soul, but alas I’m still at zero. To grind I must put in the hours. But what I should say is I need time. -ATTACK THE D POINT.
I think Warthunder need to google the Centurion tank. They saw plenty of combat first in Korea, The1956 Suez Crisis, 1965 and 1971 Indo Pakistan wars, Vietnam with Australia the 6 day war 1967 and very heavy combat in the Yom Kippur 1973 war. With Jordan agianst Syria, PLO in the 1970 Black September Civil war. In the 1982 Isreali Invasion of Lebanon. The AVRE version with the British in the first Gulf war and with South Africa which they call the Centurion the Oliphant in its bush wars.
They're not quite as manual as the clip suggested. They have a magazine containing two clips and the loader slots in a new 3 round clip as they are fired. In other words they can autofire up to 6 round bursts.
Can you put the philippine tech tree that you can only get on rank 2 and only in the US cause I'm a filipino and the Egyptian tech tree and put a Egyptian is3 and israeli is3
Plese ad more base or armor up bomers cuz they are prety much red targets cuz the fiit9rs know were you heading to they know the best intorsept path with more base leve.the fightors gesing wer your hedind and with beter armor bomers it dosnt take one pass for your tail to fly off
That's an unfair statement. The greatest weakness of postwar British AFVs was their pisspot engines, unreliable and underpowered, which undermined the success of their their questionable reliance upon rifled tank guns when every other country converted to smoothbore cannon. But the British also contributed greatly to innovation in high velocity guns, ATGMs, composite armor, and fire control digitalization. Their L7A1 105 mm gun is still the world standard for that caliber and was replicated by the USA, China, and Iran.
DAY 1. Why the t90m and t80bvm have a breakout of 580 while everyone else has a 630+ dash on the top.Maybe they don't belong, they don't belong on 12.0!?
After checking back my old premiums, i found thst IS6 at BR 7.7 is so dumb ffs, slow turret, poor gun handling, 16s reload. Hell you can't even kill a King Tiger frontally at point blank range without aiming for turret cheek yet it forever remains at 6.7 (9yo german mains rants always win). Now imagine with IS6 facing Chieftain mk3 and mk5, M60 (base, A1, RISE), not to mention bunch of speedy light vehicles with stabilized apds/heat/apfsds. Dev, do you even play your game after changed the BR? I challenge you to 1v1 with you in IS6 and let me use a King Tiger/T34/T29 which is just BR 6.7/7.0 vehicle. What a pathetic balancing.
My favourite dit about the Scimitar is when it was in the Falklands, one was driving over a frozen lake with no issues. When it stopped for the commander to dismount to get his bearings, he broke through the ice due to him having worse ground pressure than a literal tank
Dam... guess its better the commander gets an ice bath then the entire bloody tank.
So this is actually a true story but it was a marsh not ice that he jumped off the tank into!
The scimitar might not be the most known but for me it’s masterpiece
i wish this was released before the Fox
Scimitar and Scorpion are VERY well known at least in England. Partly due to action man tank being a scorpion. It’s also just been in so many conflicts and has the all time speed record for a tracked armoured vehicle. So yeah it’s pretty well known and iconic. Long overdue addition.
Add the scorpion
CVR(T) Scorpion wit the 76mm gun would be a good addition.
This foldered with the scimitar would be brilliant!
@@sagpanda5146 Agreed
It came with a 90mm too.
CVR(T) FV101 and CVR(T) Scorpion 90 would be amazing!! They could also add the Sabre
I can finally complete my Falklands war loadout
share loadout i wanna see
Share
its not complete till we get the scorpion
Lemme guess;
Centurion
Warrior (replace with Scimitar)
Fox or Eland
Harrier
Lynx
That's still missing the vulcan
2:29 you cannot just have an A10 fly over like that when you mention Afghanistan
In a video about british vehicle no less.
Oh they knew what they were doing
@@thanhhaitran9422 Its the fact that in Iraq, there is a horrendous friendly fire incident where Scimitars were strafed by an A10

Indeed despite all the criticism and what not, if it weren't for war thunder we'd never be able to experience something of this sort ❤

Free ge pls ah comment
@@Deuce_and_a_half agreed 💯
We need a modification for the Scimitar that adds the Scimitar Mk.2’s armour upgrade package to it. The extra armour could be a IV modification?
PLEASE WAR THUNDER DONT TAKE THE GUY OUT OF THE HANGER!
British design is *chefs kiss*
Also, I love how WT looks good enough to make documentary like videos in and it looks like a high end reproduction.
*Happy british main noises*
"The Scimitar is a light tank"....also War Thunder...."the Scimitar is a reconnaissance vehicle". Me: "Noooooyesss!"
Finally, british tracked light tanks. Ive been tired of my mbt-only lineup
will we get the version with cage armor to???
Ah yes, 3 round cartridges. That's 300% more bullet per bullet!
@0:15 "...centurion or chieftan, but they weren't really used much in actual combat..."
You sure about that Warthunder, you should know your history...
Centurion involved in major conflicts:
Korean War (1950-1953)
Suez Crisis (1956)
Indo-Pakistani War (1965)
Six-Day War (1967)
Indo-Pakistani War (1971)
Yom Kippur War (1973)
Vietnam War (Australian use: 1968-1971)
South African Border War (1966-1989)
Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990)
1982 Lebanon War (1982)
.............
Contextually I think the writers mean "weren't used much [by the British] in actual combat"
Only one of these wars was fought by the British which was the point in the video
Korea and suez were British conflicts
Dear War Thunder, If you want to balance air battles forever, and have a keystone for permanent balance, implement Electronic Warfare.

scimitar is one of my all time favourite tanks, i look forwards to seeing more tanks from this family such as the scorpian and Abbot too!
Scorpion and scimitar are cvr(t)...Abbot is a self propelled artillery gun. And is on a 432 drive system
FV-101 with 76mm HESH when?
Cant wait for this to come out. May start playing again
A10 pilot be like: Is this Iraqi trucks with orange panels?.
This reminded me of whistondiesel
What's one of the best ground lineups at 8.3-8.7 US? Including CAS aircraft.
I think Warthunder need to google the Centurion tank. They saw plenty of combat first in Korea, The1956 Suez Crisis, 1965 and 1971 Indo Pakistan wars, Vietnam with Australia the 6 day war 1967 and very heavy combat in the Yom Kippur 1973 war.

A-10 magnet
We need the belgian variant for the BENELUX subtree !
Dear gajin, the best way to dominate your rival world of tanks, is to add Wold war 1 vehicles as reserves, and that's all. Also, happy birthday Gajin!
Itll be years, they know WW1 tanks won't make as much money as popular MBTs :(
They always cook with trailers, games, music
They'd probably make great drones instead of retiring them completely give them autoloader weapon systems and anti drone weapons.
They're not quite as manual as the clip suggested. They have a magazine containing two clips and the loader slots in a new 3 round clip as they are fired. In other words they can autofire up to 6 round bursts.
Gaijin pls release the current War Thunder hangar music as a video on RUclips.
Can we expect new helicopters for Japan during the next major update or prior?
Someday I hope War Thunder can have Robo Tanks from Gundam.
has the music at the end changed to be similar to that of the new trailer or am I dumb?
YES
Could we get the Scorpion (76mm and 90mm variants) based on the same hull please ? i like the british 30mm, but would be nice to have those too
Better add some newer variants in the future with thermals and ERA😏
Can we please get the fv101 scorpion next update?
@ gaijin pls add folding wings for carrier aircraft
My beloved !
the scimtar is a fox on tracks
more accurately that would be the Sabre, FV101 Scorpion hull with the Fox turret,
Did warthunder just say the centurion wasn’t used in combat very much????
Man, looking forward to the Scorpions next, I love this little family of light tanks
GAIJIN! GIVE ME SCORPION 90 AND RAMKA-99 AND THE REST OF MY WALLET IS YOURS!
the snail will always sniff
Gaijin, can you finally fix the American ground forces, namely these Abrams?
*_guys the scimitar is a jaggg_*
Fun fact, CVRT can fit in a ISO container ! (yes, we did it)
Add the AJAX(or ASCOD 2). I think it's time.
Tiny tonk
In my opinion, the Bradley is better
The Centurion tank didn't see much combat? Lmao what.
day 330 of waiting for Polish-Czechoslovakian, Polish-Czechoslovakian-Yugoslavian tech tree or a Polish sub tree
when will the update be released
I hope they add all the CRV(T) variants to the game as it is a really cool and interesting tank family.
Give us the update already lil bro
Make the sturmtiger available again(day three hundred seventy five)
Don't eat me evil snail😭🙏
free basement guy
Day 167 of asking gaijin to add the KRV Emil
0:45 new spaa
Turkish tech tree when ❤
what turkish tech?
Can you put the philippine tech tree that you can only get on rank 2 and only in the US cause I'm a filipino and the Egyptian tech tree and put a Egyptian is3 and israeli is3
2:40 De donde sacaron esa info?🤨
Anyone have any tips on how to push out a dry rust 💩? Please help 🙏
Drink water, have laxatives or consume some coffee
Plese ad more base or armor up bomers cuz they are prety much red targets cuz the fiit9rs know were you heading to they know the best intorsept path with more base leve.the fightors gesing wer your hedind and with beter armor bomers it dosnt take one pass for your tail to fly off
CVRT is probably the one of two British projects that actually worked

It's Aluminium not Aluminium. 😏

WAR THUNDER ITS FOR PLANES NOT TANKS
(EVEN GROUND BATTLES MORE IN FAVOUR FOR PLANES THAN ACTUAL GROUND VEHICLES
