Scimtar CVR(T) and Warrior IFV

Its a lightly armoured recon vehicle, looks to be the size of a land rover in the pic. Did I mention the 30mm Rarden Cannon?

Basicaly a british bradley minus the TOW's. Uses the same cannon as the scimtar, as well as a 7.62 hughes chaingun(according to FAS.org) The latter is obvious, however its cool so I included it anyways.

Oh yeah I think someone was saying that the 50. cal in the land rover model was way out of proportion, but in that pic it looks to be the right size.

Kinda, however, take a look at gun it's self. Between the reciever(dunno if thats right) and the barrel, theres that big cone thing with the holes. On the model its really big, and that throws off its apearance. Can we get a pic of the .50 alone, with a person next to it?
On topic!
What do you think of these vehicles.

Oh right, that little tracked vehicle reminds me of some little tank the British had in WWII I forget what it was though. Any way how fast can it go? I mean its so small it can probably go around 50.

The Scimitar? is around 80kmph

Ugly Duck · 2004-12-23, 23:04

Damn 50 MPH(thank google, I had to find a km to miles translater). I demand that the scimtar be added!

That reminds me, vehicle speeds should be made realistic. Abrams can go a top speed of 45 mph in real life but in game there more like 20-25. Same with pretty much evrey other land vehicle, as well as helocopters. Take the Apache for example. IRL it can go 186mph while its level. Not in the game.

Ugly Duck · 2004-12-24, 02:53

But in combat the wouldnt be going this fast. And thats road speed, what about on sand or in a forest?

Interesting, very interesting.....

Well if you decided to make speeds realistic then why not make the jets go mach 2? It just isn't reasonable sometimes.
