Thank you for these! I’ll try and add at least some of them.
I left these out because I couldn’t find anything reliable about the potential prototype. However the Obus 122/46, related to this project, was more clear about having a (partial) prototype constructed, so I included that one.
I did yes, I left it out because the turret was a mock-up; only the TUA version was fully-functional.
I knew about this one but I forgot to include it. Will do a bit more research if I can and try and fit it in.
Excellent info, thank you so much! I’ll have a further look into it, maybe both variants can be added.
I knew about all of these, and considered them, but unfortunately there’s just too little information.
I don’t know what turret model the Rh202 is in, and whether it’s equipped with any laser rangefinder or thermal sight
The version with the FMC EWS is the easiest one to add, and I was very close to doing so, but I need to do more research on the turret and what particular version is fitted here (which may mean it gets thermals)
Again, unsure on the turret model and FCS characteristics of the other 25mm turret
I haven’t found any reliable info on the 90/105mm armed version. I suspect it never existed, and was mistaken for the version armed with the ET-90 II
While there are some very interesting vehicles here, I don’t think Iberian peninsula and Greece + Cyprus should be in the same tree.
Yeah they are from the EU, yeah they are Mediterranean.
But, that’s really about it.
I think it would have made more sense for the Iberian peninsula to join Italy or France (but it’s a bust since they already have their subtrees), and Greece and Cyprus to join a more Eastern European tree, like a Balkan tree.
You know that won’t happen. Italy already has Hungary and is receiving even more vehicles from Romania. At this point, adding Spain to Italy would be a waste.
The solid options for adding a main nation’s tech tree are running out (if they haven’t already). Eventually, coalition trees will need to be added, or the game’s growth pace will slow down.
Knowing Gaijin, they’ll want to reuse existing assets and maximize profits. So, a redesign of tech trees is likely. Players have been asking for revised tech trees and sub-trees with more separated tabs. A regional nation setup with tabs for each participating country could work. Most vehicles are already in the game—just modify and reskin them.
Overall characteristics, but mainly armor (even if they model it “as planned”) + mobility wise it has almost the same hp/t as Ariete. Also it has the same cannon as AMX-40, so it’d be quite limited in terms of firepower.
Some Greek M8s had their Hercules JXD gasoline engines swapped for Steyr Diesel ones (although I’m not aware of which model), while the coaxial MG was replaced by a faster firing MG3.
Personally, I think this would be a better candidate for a 1.3 LT in line 5 than the SARC Mk.IVF that is already there, considering that the M8 Diesel is an indigenous modification.
So, this vehicle would be uncomfortable I think (low depression for front and side arc) and truck far too big for such a weapon.
I propose to replace that vehicle with this one:
