Possessing a 105mm gun and a similar angles of depression, this tank could be seen as the direct descendant of the Tier X Progetto. As with the Pantera, the Prototipo also fea-tures the new mechanic. The first post-WWII tank in the Italian tree, it bears a striking resemblance to the German proto-type Leopard in terms of dimensions and silhouette. After extensive testing, preference was given to the group “A” prototypes, which after further work came to be known more commonly as the Leopard 1. In collaboration with Ingeniuerbüro Warn-eke, Rheinstahl Hanomag, Henschel and Rheinmetall, only two models were produced under the program. Stemming from a group of prototypes developed and manufactured during the Kampfpanzer Standard program which Italy first took part in in 1958. Please note some models aren’t complete yet, so they are missing textures. Post-war, Western-oriented: Now it was all about mobility, excellent firepower, good angles of depression and insignificant armour.Originally started to produce heavies, it was actually mediums that made it off the production line. Catch-up Phase: Attempting to reach the standard set by the most developed tank-building nations, it was about more firepower and thicker armour.Distinguishing features were light armour and various gun calibres. The Italian tanks drew inspiration from, or more blatantly copied, French designs but over time experimented with their own ideas. The timid first steps: Out in front in terms of tank design at the time was the French.The new branch of mediums covers three periods of Italian tank design: the timid first steps, the catch-up and post-war, western-oriented. Not long to wait so we can finally see all the pasta tanks in the game and enjoy eleven new tanks.
If you are wondering when you will be able to play these tanks, be prepared that all these tanks will be released on first post 1.0 update (possibly named 1.0.1). It’s time to reveal the full Italian nation! While in the last couple of days we had a preview of the lower Tier vehicles, we now got information on the higher Tier vehicles and these look really cool.
