I don’t care if it’s a mishmash of a pre-existing hull and turret. I think it’s cool and I’ll add it to my collection

Cringe folding launcher garbage with no use on most maps

Honestly this is the exact kind of vehicle that should be a squadron vehicle.

Leopard 1A2 with M735 (although i still want it unnerfed) would go very good and would definitely be a nice stopgap between the OF-40 and the OF-40 Mk.2A

finally one squadron vehicle for italy

On the contrary, this is actually an anticipated vehicle. The ones who don’t want this in game probably don’t play Italy anyway…

97% of 181 people is not “anticipated”.
It’s more like people just clicked on the yes button because they want new stuff so badly, that they don’t even care if it’s actually good or unique.

I’d say a pseudo copy paste atgm carrier is worse than nothing tho. Look at all the other squadron vehicles, they’re all more or less unique. This one is just bland as raw dough.

It isn’t copypaste. And no, it’s much better than getting nothing for 6 years. Italian community wanted it as well as VCC-1 TUA.
Wall-E left the army xD
Same energy :)

Most squadron vehicles are modifications or variants of vehicles we already have in-game. This C13 TUA is the same. It gives a new playstyle to a nation that didn’t have it before. For Italy, this vehicle is very much unique. And in the greater scheme of War Thunder there aren’t many vehicles with such a playstyle (extended missile turret).
It’s a unique take on the C13 chassis. Enough said.

I do think there’s a discussion to be had about BRs and how we should evaluate missile carriers.
For example, should these three (and the upcoming C13 TUA) really share the same BR?
Am I wrong in thinking the M3 Bradley is much better than the others?
Yes, the M901 and other TOW carriers at 8.3 have I-TOW as opposed to M3 Bradley’s regular TOW (630mm vs 430mm), but IMO the M3 more than makes up for this with it’s autocannon.
I think the Bradley is just more useful overall as you can use it offensively or defensively depending on the situation. With the missile carriers you are completely defenceless when moving which limits your strategic avenues.
Am I also wrong in thinking that the Twin launchers (M901 and TUA) make the regular M113A1 TOW completely obsolete? The only benefit I can think of with the M113 is the faster reaction time as the launcher doesn’t fold away when moving.
I’m not necessarily saying the TOW launchers should go down in BR, just pointing out the need for more decompression in this regard. Vehicles that are much better than the other should in an ideal world not share the same BR.
