Will and other interested parties,
For the SCIMITAR this is as good as any place for it as I will not start a Recon Thread and wish someone would take up the UAV cause since there's been so MANY new UAV's out there now with many new users. I'm pontificating thus digressing-sorry!?! I will say upon further reading I will need to address this in my next Patch Post. We are looking at 1.
RESET units.
2. Up armored/slat armor. 3. ERA. 4. Redesigned hull which equates to increased crew survival (Along w/1-3 of course.)
5. Increased performance I.E. speed and maneuverability etc.
6. Improved Thermal Sights (TI/GSR). 7. Date extension as required to 2020 (+ in real life if you read the refs carefully.)
8. And Marcello's and my favorite, for those who've followed along in the past,
AIR CONDITIONING!!!!
Anyway from my sources...

(John you need to get that fund raising campaign going!?!)

(As noted before because they have good info, lead on new equipment and have great pictures to build off on, though sometimes slow on updating, but in this case it's to our advantage.)

These will provide a useful comparison to the "new"
SCIMITAR MKII. And there are some differences if you look carefully beyond the obvious slat armor.
From a little extra research...

DON'T NORMALLY LIKE blog sites but, he provides some good videos as well.
Also the first article/post was from a regular source of mine as well the "DID" site, Defence Industry...another
excellent site that provides regular updates to their articles.
So Will, I hope this helped? My case is presented here as well, so the Patch Post will be easier per agreement-thanks Don for that concession! And I'm off to bed!!
Regards,
Pat
