If italy can get the PT2, C2 Ariete, and Centauro II. Its place in top teir may not be nearly as bad

will italy will get the 2a7HU, 2A8, and possibly in the far away future KF51 Panther and MGCS, so its place in top tier will be garanted, well it will be another germany but oh well
I hope we get the fixed hull with this version of the tank, stupid that the C1 weighs as much as the Leo 2a4, but has significantly less armor somehow
The Leo has nearly 2 tons more armor then is modeled for the Ariete
Yet gaijin firmly believes the tank only has air in between its armor plates

Absolutely yes! A real improvement over the existing Arietes and with the introduction of era VIII MBTs Italy need this.

I’m in favour of adding this vehicle, only if they increase armour to all Ariete, we all know Ariete has composite armour it was even specified by the developer, although he didn’t say the thickness because it’s a military secret through calculations on the weight of the tank we can deduce that it is very similar to a Challenger 2.
The community is tired of seeing a tank that weighs 60 tons of air, this in my opinion is above all a huge joke on the part of the developers, it weighs more than a Leopard 2A4 but has less armour something doesn’t add up in my opinion.

The base Ariete should have just a little less armor then the Leopard 2A4
Thus the 1 ton less weight, if everything I found is right, about 70% of that ton is extra armor, the rest being a heavier tank because of the layout of the ammo storage
But how it’s currently modeled, it looks like the Ariete is missing 2.5 tons of armor, not .75 vs the 2A4
But of course, western composite is just rubber after all, that’s why it’s so light 😂🤷🏻♂️

we need armor data of hull and turret because it needs some buff but also we need more tier 8

The addition of the variant with modified turret becomes more reasonable, because according to recent roadmap post (and answers on the poll), they are going to model more modules inside vehicles, which will surely make standard C1 Ariete variants even weaker, especially considering hydraulic drives.
How big are these modules?
As far as I know/understand, most of the hydraulic components are in the back of the turret.
Also, I don’t think Italy is on the top of Gaijin’s list to get detailed model (fortunately and unfortunately).
There is a cutaway, the first image under specifications spoiler in the main post. That yellow thing in the back of the turret looks like a pump or some other part of hydraulic system, though I’m not sure how accurate this cutaway is.
Yes, that is the part I was referring to.
There are also radiators which I believe are part of computer/electronic systems of the FCS.
So, the back of the turret of the Ariete does have quite a few essential modules (probably one of the reasons why a blow-out system can’t be added without re-designing the turret). But all tanks do have these systems either in the turret or in the hull.
