[Development] Squadron Vehicles — C13 TUA: Italy’s First Squadron Vehicle -...

@Smugspite

MSC where neither IRL had composite armour fitted but both planned to

MSC didn’t feature composite and I haven’t seen any information that it was ever planned to get aside from some paper from some old pre development phase presentation (which is mostly inaccurate when compared to actual development phase), so it’s even worse than that lol

[vizender]

Wall-E are destined to be squadron vehicles ahah

[Smugspite]

damn they really are giving the shaft to the Chieftain 900 then

[Smin1080p_WT]

@Smugspite

we dont know if it will be good, and again it for some reason is being treated differently then the MSC where neither IRL had composite armour fitted but both planned to, but only the MSC gets it

We have explained why:

@Smin1080p_WT

Hey guys. We’ve seen quite a few questions about the decision regarding the armour compared to other vehicles and wanted to provide some more clarity:

We have different implementations of various prototypes in game to suit different needs. The VT-1-2, for example, is entirely made of structural steel. There’s the Object 292, which also isn’t implemented with its possible full protection.

We base each tank to target the right place both in the tree and in BR. The Cheiftan 900 currently fits well alongside the Chieftain 10 and it fulfills its purpose to complement it. One is more protected but slower, the other is faster but less protected.

We chose this rather than pad out the already very well fleshed out 10-11.0 BR British range.

Hopefully that clarified the decision

Finally

[Smugspite]

so its going to sit at 9.3 I would have prefer the composite but limiting it to APDS but eh

[KillMe2UnlockDLC]

1 dovbleg toodae right?

I hope to see the second development blog today.

[kizvy]

Just go off the brochure for it, it’s quite a bit worse than su27sm.

[_Renzo]

I hope we see the M1A2T dev blog soon so that the last remaining people will stop saying that it’s a SEPv3.

[artan24]

israel and germany

the only nations who mentioned only ONCE

[kizvy]

I wanna see if they give the mk2 r77s or not

[artan24]

XF5-U an event vehicle?

6 × 12.7 mm guns

4 × 20mm guns

2 × bombs

[Deathmisser]

@artan24

2 × 450kg bomb

Didn’t it also carry 2x250s or 2x 1,000’s ?

[artan24]

2 hardpoints anyway

[Deathmisser]

So yeah so it will be either 250’s, 500’s & 1,000’s.

[YaSen]

Thought it would have different TOWs compared to M901, but hey, at least we’ve got the first Italian squadron vehicle 6 years after the introduction of the mechanic and 34 other squadron vehicles before it.

You think something missed? I don’t think so…
