A standard M10 triple 10’ launching tube assembly was installed on a bracket below the rear fuselage, with a hatch added in the bottom of the plane to allow for reloading in flight!
The rocket was a standard 4.5" fitted with a T-5 proximity fuze, although aiming would have been interesting. Test were apparently fairly successful but planned wider use was abandoned.
“Don’t cry little war thunder player, we got enough American copy paste howitzers to feed you your entire life. Anton, bring on the copy paste subtree, the communities hungry”.
Depending how they play it there’s at least 3 nations the FV101 could get copy pasted into, more if they stretch: (Just talking base 76mm armed FV101s mind you)
US: N/A unless you go wild and give them a Filipino FV101 or something
RU: N/A (Maybe Iraqi Scorps?)
DE: ? Not a scorp but they did operate the FV601 with a similar gun
GB: FV101 + [NZ]FV101
JP: [TH] FV101
CN: [NG] FV101 (Stretching)
IT: [ES] FV101 (Stretching)
FR: [BE] FV101
SW: N/A
IS: [CL] FV101 (As part of a possible sub tree)
Definitely more likely to just be Japan (TH/IN), France (BE) and the UK. It could come to the US through Iran (the Iraq ones were captured from Iran) or any Arab country, China through Malaysia. Anything else is a stretch. Spanish FV101s can go to Italy or Germany, as it looks like a Canada situation.
*and to Israel through Chile. Chile doesn’t really have a place in game besides Israel.
Wouldn’t this just be an ICE equivalent? AIM-120 + 9M.
One thing I wonder is if Italy and Greece are close enough to have Greece become an Italian subtree? I know they have strong relations, and would really help the Italian tree. Using the Greco-Iberian tree suggestion, it’d give Italy the TOR-M1, Leopard 2A4HEL, Leopard 1A5GR, TT PZH2000, etc.
Doubt that they will add Greece to Italy, especially since Hungary and Romania are already in that tree.
Also I remember that Greeks were against even Averof (ship of Pisa class) in the Italian TT.
PS Italy can have Italian Pzh2000 in the regular tree ;)
It’s even found in files.
Btw if any other subtree is going to be added to Italy, imo it would be Spain, although you can already make a large and interesting TT (comparable to big 3) with Romania and Hungary, especially if focus on the addition of domestic designs and modifications.
