The Scimitar is a Cold War Light Tank in the British tech tree. It is part of the CVR (T) series of vehicles. The Scimitar is a variant of the CVR (T) platform fitted with the 30 mm L21A1 autocannon, also known as the RARDEN, and was utilized in the role of an armed reconnaissance vehicle, and as a light tank. With a top speed of 50 mph, a reverse gearbox, an APDS-firing autocannon that can penetrate up to 110mm of armour, along with its small size, it is a master of flanking and fast, precision strikes. However, a slow fire rate and a exceptionally high fixed zoom for the gunner’s sight, combine to make it difficult to use against fast moving targets at close range.
The M3A3, the upgraded descendant of the M3 Bradley, is a substantial and favored upgrade over the lightly armored CFV players are familiar with, boasting improved FCS, weaponry, and protection. But the M3A3, unlike its predecessor, is plagued by a slight but sluggish reduction in speed thanks to the armor plating on the hull and turret, and still possesses the familiar size of a city block that the M3 Bradley had. But if one ignores those downsides, they will find that this weaponized brick of war can hit just as hard as a brick thrown at Mach 1.
The M3 Bradley is a testament to American battlefield versatility, blending speed, firepower, and reconnaissance into a single armored platform. Developed alongside its M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) counterpart, the M3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle (CFV) was tailored for both scouting and tank-killing missions, offering a balance of mobility, firepower, and survivability. Unlike main battle tanks, the M3 Bradley relies on hit-and-run tactics, ambushes, and rapid relocations to stay ahead of the enemy. Armed with a 25mm M242 Bushmaster autocannon, BGM-71 TOW anti-tank guided missiles, and a 7.62mm M240 machine gun, the M3 excels at engaging a wide range of targets. However, its armor protection is limited, requiring careful positioning and tactical awareness to survive on the battlefield.
