The recent BR changes further revealed the state of Italy’s disadvantage at top tier. The Ariete AMV is now considered as equivalent to the M1A1 HC (which has two premium versions), as it probably should have always been. The tree now has only one true top tier tank, and an SPAA.
Italy has new MBTs on order, but they wont be delivered for a couple of years. Is there anything that could ‘plug the gap’ between then and now? Such as more sub-nations, or some whacky prototypes, demonstrators, ect?
We could have this
We are waiting for NMBT, plus maybe Romanian Abrams will appear earlier, another option is 2A7HU additional armor package.
Apart from these, more Arietes and serial Centauro 2.
As evident with the F-15IA this is no longer an issue.
We were promised the Ariete AMV PT2/3 a couple years ago but that isn’t top tier material either.
You will just have to keep on suffering. Italy just simply hasn’t produced any domestic tanks which are on par with other nations.
I think Romania could help out Italy a lot. A MiG-19, some USSR MBTs for mid-high BR and the Abrams. They should add Romanian vehicles in the gaps of the Hungarian line
