TBH this can and should be added for UK TT, Canadian stuff like this deserves to be in the game.
But its just a shame that gaijin wants to do the bare bones for minor nations rather than unique, especially when it comes to subtrees. Unique stuff = premium, event and squadron, Not unique stuff = TT.
Smoke artillery as a optional alternative for HE artillery call up.
Would be somewhat useful, especially in maps like pradesh, where this could be used to create cover for advances on positions/away from spawn which are exposed.

ITPSV 90 (early) to complement the ITPSV 90 (late).
Tho here its weird they just copy pasted the British turret model instead of the Finnish one, this one has some inaccuracies such as the conical part of turret ring which doesnt exist on Finnish one, the smoke layout is different and the cylinder thing on right side of the radar isnt a thing on Finnish one.
Also rename the fictional designation it has now into the actual “ITPSV 90 Marksman” designation used by Finnish Army.

Looks like they strapped a turret and gun on the back of a 8x8 and called it a day… pretty smart icl

Yeah, I suggested this one last month, but it’s still pending XD
It has a variant with and without thermals, so I suggested its MLU:
MLU details:
Replacing the American T130 tracks with German Diehl tracks
Adding luggage racks
Installing cable cutters
Replacing the axles in the final drive
Sealing off three firing ports and four periscope holes
Adding a thermal gunner and commander sight
Applying a three-color camouflage pattern (standard NATO colors: black, moss green, and bronze brown).

Absolutely with the MLU, can be a mod at Tier III. Did it ever get ERA at one point as well?
Sadly not, only the composite screens which were replaced.
