Features

 * Subtle movement: moving on a low speed doesn't reduce your camouflage factor.
 * Designated target: vehicle has the ability to designate targets that are within line of sight and vision range. Designated targets are called out and takes increased damage.
 * Auto cannon only: vehicle is armed with an auto cannon only.
 * Recon package: this vehicle's recon package provides an improved vision range when stationary.

Player Recommendations
Relying on mobility to survive, the FV107 Scimitar is an agile AFV with a 30mm autocannon capable of shredding MBTs from the sides and rear. Using excellent mobility and camouflage to its advantage, it can easily outflank strong enemy positions and ambush lone enemies. Care should be taken though, as the vehicle's armor is not suitable for heavy combat.

Pros

 * Excellent burst damage
 * Highly mobile
 * Excellent camouflage

Cons

 * No effective armor
 * Main gun is severely inaccurate when fired rapidly
 * Low penetration can only be used for side and rear attacks on MBTs

Upgrade Suggestions
Upgrading to the 30mm L14A3 APFSDS ammunition gives a significant boost to penetration, allowing for more effective fire against heavily armored targets. The Tb.3544 Diesel Engine boosts agility, improving overall vehicle mobility and lethality. The Improved Ammo Feeder will allow for more sustained fire of the 30mm at short range.

Retrofit Suggestions

 * Advanced Muzzle Reference System
 * Advanced Fire Control
 * Augmented Optics

Commander and Crew Skill Suggestions

 * Commander: Sabrina Washington, for improvements to camo rating, view range, and accuracy
 * Driver: Smooth Ride, Off-Road Driving
 * Gunner: Sharpshooter, Quick Draw
 * Loader: Rapid Fire, Explosive Shells

History
Class: Light Tank Developed: 1966-1970 Service: 1971+ Vehicles Built: 466 Operators: United Kingdom, Latvia, formerly Belgium The FV107 Scimitar is a close relative of the FV101 Scorpion. The biggest difference lies in its firepower since the Scimitar carries a 30mm RARDEN autocannon instead of Scorpion&#39;s 76mm gun. Despite being just as obsolete as the Scorpion, the Scimitar remains active in British service simply because the military has nothing to replace it with. Recently, an upgrade program was launched to keep it operational until at least 2023.
