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.

Well, i dont. I am yet to find if the sight had auto tracker, or if the tracking is just the manual, visual following the target.
ah shame, figured you’d be the one to ask either way
