Multiple premium vehicles packs - Italian tech tree

Hi everyone,
I would like to keep this topic as a sort of suggestions hub for the “multiple vehicles packs” available already in the UK, USA, Germany and USSR tech trees, but this time related to Italy.

I would like to start with more modern one, we would call this pack the “Ibis” from the name of the Italian operation that lasted from 1992 to 1994 in Somalia.

This pack would sit at BR 8,7 and would consist of the following 3 vehicles:

-M60A1 RISE P Ibis: Italy operated a small number of Leased American M60A1 RISE P once the protection of the Italian M60A1 revealed to be insufficient against man portable anti tank weapons used by the Insurgent, this would make it different from the other M60A1 already in the Italian tech tree.

-Centauro 1 Ibis: Italy operated both the base Centauro 1 and the ROMOR in Somalia, for this pack we will use the normal Centauro 1 and we will place it at 8,7 BR by taking away the APFSDS and leaving only the APDS and HEAT-FS ammunitions, that makes the vehicle also more historically accurate (at the time Italy still used the APDS instead of the APFSDS)

-SIDAM 25 Ibis: Italy at the time operated the SIDAM 25 and some personnel of the 21st artillery group that operated the SPAAG was sent to Somalia in support of the Bersaglieri, however no SIDAM was present in theater, so this is more of a what-if vehicle (like the Ostwind 2 in the OST-West pack)

What do you think?

a bit high BR for what their goal seems to be so far with the 3 vehicle packs but having an actual proper centauro 1 and an italian m60a1 rise p would be nice

Not sure, I would like to see Rise outside of triple pack (maybe even without apfsds 0.3 lower).
I would honestly prefer to see a triple pack for lower BRs:

  • 3.7-4.0 North African with sandbags style (but for higher BR with Semovente 90/53 M41M, M42 Contraereo or idk maybe Lancia 90/53)) and Turan III or Pz.IV);
  • 4.7-5.0 Breda 501, 75/46 and one of M113 with AA set;
  • 5.0-5.7 with 76 mm Sherman, M113 AA;
  • 6.0 with Hungarian/Panther, R3 T20 FA-HS and one of howitzers;
  • 6.7 with AUBL/74, R3 T20 and anything else.

PS although I’m not sure if I need even need one, it won’t be popular anyway because it’s Italy( but for sure it would take place of some interesting additions in the update for the nation.
