With the restrictor removed from the electrical system off the dizzy cap it will easily hit 70mph on tarmac :razz:

I am pretty sure that is faster than the present SAxon or even Humvee can travel! LOL And they are wheeled and much lighter vehicles!

The Scimitar, as with all tracked vehicles in the British Army, has the ability to make tea or coffee for its crew members.
I hope PR stays 100% realistic on this :lol:

It also says underneath "This (the Jaguar J60 4.2 engine) has now been replaced by a Cummins BTA 5.9 diesel engine in British Army Scimitars, under the CVR(T) Life Extension Program (LEP)."

I think the only Jaguar that contained a 4.2 Liter engine was XKE, so wiki stating the engine is "used by several Jaguar cars" may be wrong.

No, I am just saying the Insurgents have a pethetic arsenal, the MEC should be in Al Basrah to give the Brits a challenge.

The insurgents are a challenge. At the moment they win more games than loose.

Well it is hard for me to find a server playing Basrah but when I have it just becomes boaring with the IFVs shooting anything that moves. The insurgents, when I have played, usualy get killed off in the city too. Ill take your word though Rhino, I will need to play it some more. I still maintain that the MECs professional army with tanks and such is the type of enemy I like to fight.

So PR will have a new class of vehicle? Light Armour? Scimitar, M3 CFV, BTR 60.
