iirc B1 Draco doesn’t get APFSDS (or they could just not give the B1 Draco APFSDS and then change the OTOMATIC to a light tank like the 2S38)
You’ll get no disagreement from me - They still ought to get their domestic SPAA.
Until then, this is at minimum a stop-gap measure to stem at least some of the bleeding.
The Strela contrast seeker thing makes this the best SPAA around 10.3. Wish my Ozelot could use the Datalink to shot Stingers to IRST locked helis, which are out of Stinger locking range.

The issue with that is that you have to hope that it is just a stop-gap, rather than the (imo) more likely case of the OSA being the only SPAA Italy will get for a few years (unless Gaijin decides to completely overhaul SPAA at top tier, which doesn’t seem likely).

I would not be surprised at all… But the top tier situation isnt tennable. I can only think that they are edging CAS up to the point where they can add some powerful SPAA to all nations.(or at least we hope all nations). Fingers crossed its all in one update not staggered over 2025 though

The best I can hope for is:
UK/Italy - Land Ceptor/Grifo, both with CAMM and not CAMM-ER (potentially an ahistorical missile choice)
But the UK will probably just get the Tracked Rapier and Italy maybe nothing, idk.

There is also the ASRAAM slinger for Britain, but thats tricky, yeah Land Ceptor is probably the most likely.
But yeah… Im not holding my breath for that. Im just begging we get a 7.0 battleship in Decemeber along with a mountain of bug reports fixed.
