Why there are multiple vehicles for certain nations and not even a single one for italy?

Asking why I don’t think is the right question as no one will be able to answer it, perhaps what it can recieve? Maybe the Centauro I Draco could be a interesting vehicle.

I’d like either the Leonardo M60A3 or the Dardo OWS 30. Maybe even the M60A1 RISE PASSIVE as seen in Somalia, but I know that not all would like this one.

I was actually in the process of doing a post for the BWP-2000 as a squadron vehicle.
its a joint Polish and Italian IFV, the hull is a modified BMP-1 while the turret is Italian. It has the 60mm from the VVC-80/60 (2 second reload and 249mm PEN) and TOW-2 missiles.

This is sick. Gaijin should consider. In my opinion the 60 mm 60/70 is very fun, although not the best regarding post-pen damage but surely can give you some fun moments, whever this vehicle goes, it should be at least one version for Italy, and as Squadron vehicle could serve as great learning vehicle and how to use properly higher caliber autocannons.
Maybe this could work?
Good idea for Polish tech tree. Also if your gonna describe what it is, do it correctly the chassis is not a modified BWP-1 but is indigenous, using parts from the MT-S.

Over the years, many vehicles have been proposed to fill that role. There have been plenty of land and air options, and since squadron vehicles can be added at almost any BR, it’s unclear why nothing has ever been introduced — aside from the low popularity of the Italian tree.
Even just using assets already in the game, several vehicles could be made, like ones based on the C13, Fiat 6616/6614, OF-40 chassis, or even a copy-paste M60A1 RISE/Passive from the U.S. So, there are plenty of options.
If they wanted, they could also look at Romanian or Hungarian designs to easily expand the lineup with minimal work.
To me, it feels more like a deliberate decision. The game has plenty of vehicles that didn’t perform well or weren’t popular — so why is Italy always the one left out?
And yet, whenever this issue is raised — which is a factual one, the lack of a squadron vehicle — we’re always seen as the ones whining. I’d like to see how fans of other trees would react in the same situation.
