so there would appear more people that are for "diversity",suggesting Minimi's and M4s . . .

'[R-DEV wrote:Rhino;1843082']FV101 Scorpion CVR(T)
Most of you by now should be well acquainted with the FV107 Scimitar CVR(T) since its been in PR for a number of years now, but the Scorpion hasn't featured at all in that time since it was retired from the British Armed Forces in 1994. However a few Scorpions where used in the 1982 Falklands War with Two troops from B Squadron, Blues and Royals, along with the Scimitar.
The Scorpion and the Scimitar are from the same family of Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked), aka CVR(T) and are basically the same vehicle, with one major difference. the Scorpion has a 76mm cannon where the Scimitar has a 30mm cannon. There are other small differences between the two like the Scorpion has a different night sight and from its bigger, heavier cannon its slightly slower but other than that, they are pretty much the same thing.
Now your probably asking at this point as to why would we go and replace the Scimitar with something that has a bigger cannon when the Scimitar was already such a pain in the *** for the Argentine Infantry. Well while the Scimitar has a fully automatic 30mm cannon which has a rate of fire of 200 rounds per min, the Scorpion's 76mm cannon only has a rate of fire 6 rounds per min. So while its cannon packs a much bigger punch, its only going to be able to fire once every 10 seconds, which should give the infantry a much bigger chance to fight back, while also making it more effective vs other vehicles and deployables.

The Falklands is also not the only place you will see the Scorpion. Back in the day when the west was friends with Iran, Britain sold 300 FV101 Scorpion CVR(T)s to Iran and many of these still operate in the Iranian Armed Forces today, with them also producing there own version of the Scorpion now. As such we have made an MEC version of the Scorpion which you will hopefully see on a few maps in v1.0. It should also be noted that it is unlikely to be used on the same map with a Scimitar on the opposite side if anyone is worried about enemy identification, but not impossible if the mapper feels it can work. Since this is the Export model of the Scorpion its had its night sight removed, only leaving a bare plate where it should be to the right of the cannon.

And it will add more diversity which is cool and less work for the devs.
