Italy's AA problem

That’s a often “simplified” term for the DRACO, when in reality that’s not the case. Yes, the turret is similar to the OTOMATIC, but the systems are incredibly with shells. The DRACO was displayed with DART shells, which is a guided shell. That guided shell has a (over) 8km range, can go up to 40G and around 1100m/s

It can be used for both surface and air targets. If it comes, I have no idea how guided shells will be modelled, as 40G as advertised is a lot, but I’m not sure about it’s speed bleed.

A downside compared to the OTOMATIC is that it has lower amount of shells

I guess another thing worth nothing is that it carried a SCUDO APS system, however that was a mockup

Do Hungary has some better AA options than Italy for top tier ?

Italy does have good options when it comes to SAM systems. Spada and SAMP-T are some of them.

Italy could in the future get a vehicle based on the Lynx chassis for anti-air purposes:

I’ll check if Hungary has any decent options.

IIRC the autoloader is completely different as well, as it uses a 12 rounds drum instead of the lifter that the otomatic have

Those look as a good enough replacement for the OTOMATIC, as that thing definitely needs to drop down to 10.7.

Looks like 2S38 from Temu.

We have been asking Gaijin for years to move the BR. The only time they do is to move it up so they can claim Italy has a top tier SPAA.

It’s a render… ofc it looks ugly. It’s a Skyranger turret on a Lynx hull.

CA-95 (Romanian SPAA). It’s basically an amphibious Strela.

Tbh, ive been thinking of a turkish sub-tree to italy, since baykar (a turkish military aviation company) bought a italian aviation company, with a growing military tie with italy and turkey i thought it could be viable? Mayhaps?

24

I’m on the fence about Turkey, there’s already too much happening in Italy that we don’t really need the Turks to fill it with more copy-pastes. Although at this point, what other option is there. I’m just ready for the Romanian Abrams to show up.

Turkey actually has a lot of potential, since theyve been slamming out prototypes and actually investing in self defense industry, They’ve got a lot of interesting stuff to make italy a viable top tier nation imo
