Back in 2012 Russia tested a number of Centuro platforms, of of them was the Freccia OWS 30, which is coming to the Italian tech-tree this update.
Adding vehicles that were tested to other tech-trees is nothing new for War Thunder. For example Sweden has a T-80U and Mi-28 that they tested. And unlike Sweden, the Freccia OWS 30 would add something new to the USSR tech-tree. That being fire and forget / top attack ATGMs (Spikes).
Russia can get the Kornet-D (firing Kornet-EMs), which is essentially fire-and-forget, although IIRC they work a little differently to regular FNF missiles
We as in players that plays Soviet Union or as a community in general can instead push forward unique vehicles but with similarities in terms of gameplay, it is completely understandable that half of the community will support the copy and pasted thing as a way to justify no gate keeping of content for one nation and line-up diversity and the other that will justify that it’s pointless and it prevents uniqueness between nations.
Soviet Union don’t share the fire-and-forget weaponry installed in ground vehicles and as for Russia it is at the very early stages, as for any other post-Sovietic Republic it’s socially denied, apparently Soviet Union can’t have other minor nations represented (Soviet Union = Russian Federation), nonsense apart, I wouldn’t oppose however there are some others wheeled vehicles with autocannons (e.g. K-17) that could be considered, and if you really want, create a suggestion for it, see also Centauro I for USSR tech tree.
its not a place to ask as its higly biased against adding to USSR. So as much as im against copypastes, seeing the SU-30 and BMP-3 given away, im all in for addition of all trialed wheelers to USSR. Only to justify all other trials
Do you like Centauro and Freccia? Want to play? Play the Italian TT. Other solutions like the one you suggest are just the shortest route to your dreams. Dude, that’s too easy.
hold you’re horses! sweden has a T80U AND a BMP2MD, Italy (they also have a BTR80A) and Germany have T72M1s, THE UK (and Germany) have the OSA and strela are they not NATO countries? so why can’t USSR have some NATO tech?
trialed by sweden, should be removed because trialed vehicles open can of worms.
Sweden has access to this one through finland, just as T55s and T72s; finlad is subtree of sweden.
Italy has access to these old vehicles through pre-fall of iron curtain hungary; hungary is subtree of italy.
Both OSA and T-72 and Stela (again, old vehicles) were used by NVA in the past, after unification of germany these were transfered to bundeswehr, which subsequently either took them out of service or sold them. same with e.german aviation.
UK has access to those through india; india is subtree of UK.
Why russia should have access to modern NATO tech?
because some of the NATO states were formerly members of warsaw pact?
So russia should get top of the line 2A8 Leopards because czech republic was member of warsaw pact more than 40 years ago?
Why not ask for modern vehicles from nations that are actually alligned with russia, as I showed in the comment above?
