Editing CVRT (section)

===In Real Life===
A descendant of the Cavalry tank of World War Two, the Scimitar is the father of the CVRT family. Its name comes from its role as an armed reconnaissance vehicle. Unlike traditional recce units whose mission is to observe while being unseen, armed recce units are deployed when there is a need to 'fight for information', according to their US cousins; the Cavalry branch of service. Simply put, such units are deployed in order to force the enemy to reveal his hand. Probing units of Scimitars can engage enemy recce units, either forcing the enemy spearhead to fall back (thus giving the BLUFOR commander more control of the battlefield), or forcing enemy units to expose their positions through movement to rescue their own recce units. 

Scimitars are equipped with a 30mm Rarden autocannon, identical to the autocannon of the Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle. Despite its use from the Cold War, modernized versions remain in use by various units like the Queen's Yeomanry and Royal Lancers. Some units have even replaced their Challenger 2 tanks with Scimitars due to budget cuts.
