David Bowie basicly wrote that Sweden worked on an upgrade to the Rb71. so it would get a active radar seeker. and name it Rb 71 A. that one could be an option for Viggen D and Gripen A.
or let Gripen A have rb99, and have the C gripen get AIM-120C-8 that we bought in 2023.
But it does not need to be the sole reason for having a Brazilian line in the Italian tree, Brazil has full partnerships with Italy.
Until the 1960s, the main supplier of weapons to Brazil was the USA, but after some embargoes, the Brazilian industry had to get closer to the European industry in order to develop. One of Brazil’s main partners at that time was Italy.
As an example of the fruits of this partnership, in the 1970s, Brazil produced the Aermacchi MB-326 by Embraer as the EMB-326 (designated AT-26 by the Brazilian Air Force). Later, this aircraft was used to test the MAA-1 Piranha (the first production of this missile had a PbS sensor, so it does not need to be all-aspect). Later, Brazil also bought some MB-326Ks from South Africa, which were equipped with DEFA cannons.
The EE-18 Sucuri II had an autoloader turret entirely produced by Oto Melara, and included the same Oto Melara 105/52 cannon as the B1 Centauro.
The F-5EM has a Grifo-F radar developed by Leonardo S.p.A.
The Brazilian Army recently purchased some Centauro II, some of which will be produced at the IVECO factory in Brazil.
Apart from the fact that the Centauro would necessarily be Italian, all of these Brazilian vehicles can be added to the Italian tree.
just had a 5 kill game that was a victory at 11.7 and I earned 4.2k RP (GRB match)…
I wasn’t receiving negative research bonus and I have premium…
And then this game:
9 kills, 4 from Tiger HAD(3 ground, 1 air), 3 from Leclerc, 2 from F1-CT
Only reduction in RP should be from research to the Alouette
9 kill victory game and I get 7.9k RP? I don’t remember it being quite this horrible
