I was simply atatung that i personally think the title mentioning the ITO doesnt really fit when it could’ve mentioned the Crotale which is what the post is talking about.
The only difference is that the other vehicle has more power in the antenna, more range, etc. and that it could designate several targets at the same time, the launching vehicle alone can only follow one target but control up to 2 missiles at a time, that is, the same thing that the other anti-aircraft missiles do in the game.

Standard Crotale was not made with any towing in mind, so that wont work here.
so i take it that only the chinese one was capable of this?
Yes, only Chinese reverse engineered one did that. Original Crotale had them as separate vehicles.

The ONLY difference : list of MANY differenceS
We can add an little other difference the surveillance radar constantly rotate at 360° on AZIMUT axis to survey .
While the tracking radar have a limited rotation on SITE to track already aimed target. Of course the touret with missiles can rotate 360° on azimut axis but it’s not made to do it constanly, just to aim or to be in stow position.
Only one vehicle : maybe it can works. But you lose 80% of the capacity of this system. IMHO
Your statement that it loses 80% of its usefulness is very exaggerated just because the radar of the shooting vehicle cannot rotate 360°, and I’ll give you an example of why you are exaggerated, in the game you have the Chaparral that doesn’t even It has a radar and even so it is in BR 10.3, the suggested vehicle does have a radar with a range of 17 km and although the radar cannot rotate on its own the turret can rotate 360° so it still So you could see in all directions with the radar, perhaps in real life it would lose capabilities when operating on its own but in the game (which is what we are in the forum for) it would work like any other anti-aircraft. and I already knew that video and nowhere does it mention that the firing system cannot work on its own, the same video mentions that the firing system can track a target and fire 2 missiles at the same time, so I don’t know what it is what you are claiming.

I doubt that Gaijin will introduce tracking radar search mode, so you will have to manually lock it.
Aren’t all anti-aircraft radars blocked manually?
Some of the radars have search radar cue. That means when the target is spotted, all you have to do is click lock. turret is then slew to it and it is locked by tracking radar.
I can record it for you if you want.
Gaijin?
You didn’t add any better aa for france, and you didn’t even give us an outdated crotale system?
WTF

Update:
Since the recent WarThunder update “Leviathans” now allows for the separate use of acquisition vehicles with search radar and fire vehicles, this system gains more value and importance and becomes completely viable for the game, for this reason I added to the suggestion all the data of the search vehicle and also added new information about the missiles such as the amount of G-forces it can withstand and its range as well as the search radar model and the specifications of the radars of both vehicles. Finally, at the end of the suggestion, I added a personal opinion about the BR that this system should have and in which trees it would fit perfectly.
+1 looks pretty cool

Exactly, they could add the French Crotale 5000 in BR 10.7 and it would fill a big missing space there and they should also have added the Crotale NG which uses the VT-1 missiles, I don’t know why they added the Finnish anti-aircraft instead of adding the French version.
They added Finnish because it was easier to copy and paste rather than model a new vehicle if we’re being real.
There was a bit of debate between the swedes and French between who actually deserved it, as Finland wasn’t a subtree yet and the system is a French weapon even if they didn’t do any personal work on the vehicle. Silly stuffs but that was eons ago now.

Just do what wt mobile did for the ground tree and merge Sweden, France and the UK along with their subtrees into one for every branch /j
