Would be funny but in bad way.
I prefer actual prototypes such as black Eagle in that case.
I’d really rather not.
Ill take a 2S14 Zhalo-S though.
The soviets don’t need a centauro, consider it a mark of honour that like the US you don’t need to “yoink” kit from other tech trees to be competitive at all ranks.
And if it is really needed.
I’d personally much prefer the Cuban BTR-100 and BTR-115 instead

Chances are the Black Eagle won’t come unless they give us a version with a working loading mechanism.
They’ll probably add the object 195 or object 477 in its place.
Most likely but still, one can hope.
I thin k yes, and its all american or boats
It is Neither but the next 2 event vehicles were already confirmed.
The next event that is to happen this month is going to be a British light vehicle named after a “single-edged curved sword” so likey the Sabre, for war thunder purposes likely functionally identical to the Scimitar already in game.
The august event however will be a naval one but the reward will be a WW1 era ship in the soviet tech tree.
Almost certain the Soviet ship will be the Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya
But I’m hoping it’s the Engel with the 305 recoilless rifle

I hope not, i’d much rather it would be Aurora, she holds so much historical significance

Well I only say that is because it was leaked some time ago.
Wow what a boat how do you even fire it? yet alone reload it
D-10T on BTR-100 is meh but I am pretty much interested about that BTR-115.
A fast and mobile D-10T is meh to you?
Good sir, that gun has the nessecary punch with it’s APDSFS to still tackle most targets a Centauro I 120 would face and on top of that it has access to APHE rounds which would make it a significantly better vehicle for shots at the flank of an enemy especially if only small portions of the enemy flank are visible(think only seeing the enemy’s front sprocket and being able to go straight through that and nuking the interior of the tank)
According to link which you post it doesnt have access to APDSFS. So yes, it is meh compared to 115mm variant or 2S14 Zhalo.

That post may not mention it but the D-10T can fire the 3BM25 APDSFS round as found on the T-55A in game already.
It would seem unlikey that Cuba does not field an APDSFS round on a vehicle that is still in service as of current, they would have had either access to soviet made APDSFS rounds like the 3BM25 or later purchased Belgian, Chinese or Romanian made APDSFS rounds for the D-10T
This is one of the most hated discussion posts as the mods had to clean it up. I feel bad for @Ralin has they put effort in it.
Still think this would be a great Squadron or Event vehicle as it prevents the loss of a good soviet prototype to the event black hole.

You do realize that none of the characteristics of what you’re describing can compare to the Centauro’s, right?
That’s like saying a Sherman is a replacement for an Abrams.
The BTR-115/100, the Zhalo, and the Centauro with a 120mm gun will differ in combat rating by 3.0–4.0, if not more.
These cars are interesting too, but they’re not the same thing.
the BTR-115 was first seen in 2018 i believe.
I don’t think it is a stretch to assume that Cuba has been able to atleast fit the vehicle with decent optics, a stabilizer and supply it with either late soviet 115mm ammunition or more modern Belgian made 115mm ammunition putting its firepower not too far off from the Centauro I and it’s 120mm gun.
I would hazard a guess that it would be around 10.7-ish BR if added which is close enough in my opinion.
I still very much oppose the addition of a Centauro I 120 to the soviet tech tree, there is just no need for it because anything the Centauro I 120 can do the 2S25M can do almost just as well in my opinion.
But if you really need something that is atleast somewhat similiar in that it has wheels and a large calibre gun, the 2S14, BTR-100 and BTR-115 are in my opinion as good as it gets.
Also don’t undersell the power of a flanker vehicle with powerfull APHE shells like the BTR-100 and 2S14.

How could this be higher than an Sprut with a rating of 10.0?
Because i imagine that in effect it is a very similiar vehicle to the Centauro I 120.
Both are a modern wheeled chassis with a large gun and considering how young the BTR-115 is being only first sighted around 2018 I can not imagine it to be functionally that much worse compared to the Centauro I 120.
Granted a lot about the vehicle is unknown.
Either way, i don’t at all see a reason for the soviet tree to get a Centauro I 120.
It doesn’t offer a capability they don’t already have, the 2S25M1 is also light, fast, hard hitting and has good optics.
It doesn’t offer anything particularly intresting because it is just a copy of an Italian vehicle.
So i do not see a reason for this to be added.
I do see a reason for the 2S14, BTR-100 and BTR-115 though.
The BTR-115 will literally be worse in the game than the Sprut. So it’s pretty strange to talk about it as a replacement for the Centauro.
I’ve read this dozens of times already, but people don’t understand the stats of the vehicle they’re talking about at all.
The BTR-115 will literally have a lower Tier than the Sprut if/when it appears—9.3, or maybe even lower.
You’re drawing completely wrong conclusions.
