It was in my plans to add that SPAA, but we could never figure out the breed of that dog for its possible implementation in the game… :(
Lmao, jokes aside, we have very little information on it. We couldnt figure out the truck it’s mounted on, but from what I recall it uses one of the earliest versions of the Oerlikon 20mms such as the Oerlikon S, or an even earlier SEMAG L (later Oerlikon Type L).

After doing a reverse image search, I did find more Facebook posts featuring this vehicle, although most weren’t necessarily regarding it.
I did, however, find a post in which a commenter stated that “The piece shown is an Oerlikon Type K, also called Type ZL. They are 2 Oerlikon type L pieces mounted on a LePrieur CAD pedestal.”
As for the truck itself I can’t offer any of my own ideas, but I do think it shares some similarities with Tank Encyclopedia’s rendition of a Bolivian Dodge, although the presence of a second side window makes me doubt that these are the same vehicle.

Brazil restored one of its old Roland Launchers to working condition that was an exhibit piece.

Unmodified (as far as I know), so we ignored them in favor of more unique options.
Yep, also I didn’t know what was the Brazilian Army designation for it, but a news page in portuguese presented it: “VBC L Msl Marder”. I’ll later rename it in the tree, together with the renaming of the Centauro II and some other tweaks.

How about those for the country that invented them?

Scimitar and Scorpion for the UK? Sure, but this topic is not about that. (Btw we already have a vehicle very similar to the FV101 Scorpion in the tree, and that’s the EE-11 Urutu AVGP. It uses the same turret)
Unless you mean a LATAM vehicle made by a LATAM country which is not in the tree. If that’s the case, then by all means, show us.

I am all for a South American tech tree.

I misread your previous comment. I thought it was directed towards me. Thanks for the support! But let’s not leave our Central American hermanos out of this, as they have a fair contribution ;)

Peru also has the Shilka !!
I would definitely love a latin american tree, and lets be real, Gaijin can make a lot of money of it. So its a win-win.

sure, there probably won’t be a tech tree called “LATAM” either.
The best way to respond to irony is with more irony (I’m saying this because of the guy who wants a NATO tech tree). The British tech tree has Indian, Soviet, American, South African technology, and unique vehicles or variants operated by Canadians and Australians. Well, at the end of the day, the names we give things are just social constructs. You can call it whatever you want, but in the end, it is or will be what you want it to be.
