The Italian-American: B1 Centauro 105s evaluated by the US, 2000-2002

I asked a question, you could answer, if you have some valid arguments.

Why does Sweden need the Mi28 or the T-80U, vehicles that country never used?
Why does Japan need the F-5, a plane it never used?
Why does Italy need an entire Hungarian tank and plane lineup?
None of these countries ever used these vehicles, but they were put in to either fill gaps or sell vehicles.

Do you really think the American TT needs a sub-tree? Or some foreign vehicle? Just because other smaller TTs received them?
P.s I think the Hungarian sub-tree adds nothing new and exciting to research and play.

I think the Centauro would make for a cool event vehicle, the US uses foreign designs (see: Stryker, Constellation class) and has examined some in the past. I don’t see why you’re getting all worked up about it.

Dreaming costs nothing.

Disagreed. The US is versatile enough and there’s no reason to take away the probably only originality of the Italian TT.

The US has the Stryker, which is albeit a very potent machine.

-1. Foreign vehicles only ever evaluated or captured have no place in War Thunder. The minimum for a valid vehicle to be included in a TT should be that it is either an indigenous design or was used in service for the nation(or a nation included in it’s sub tree(s)). The only exception to this rule should be for vehicles who’s progenitor nation isn’t in the game, such as the US Merkavas, from back before the Israeli TT was added.

A US Centauro has no place in War Thunder, and would only serve in making the issue of copy-paste worse.

Remember that we are talking about Gaijin. They added the hungarian tt only for adding a bunch of c&p and some original tanks.

That doesn’t mean they would do something like a US Centauro. If they ever actually do the rumored US T-90, then I would change that to a maybe, but from what I understand, gaijin sees subtrees as a way to quickly an easily buff tree as opposed to a way to add in nations that don’t have enough unique vehicles to fill out a full TT, so the two aren’t comparable.

they have m1128 but its fun to have it as a event vehicle or squadron

Russia does not have similar machines.

because they never needed to produce mobile tank destroyers

And that doesnt mean they need the second best vehicle at top tier for italy just because they never built anything similair by then

Can Italy be given one of the best air defense systems of the USSR, or is that something else?!

You are, you’re being given the Osa my friend.

In that case, let the Centaurs scatter to other nations.
