It seems to me that he had no idea, as I already pointed out in other thread

well as man is not God,he can make mistakes,but why don't you just push up your skirt sleeves and do make a brand new one,a correct one,or just correct and improve the existing ?

I bet it's easier to criticize and do not do a thing than just spend
time,a lot of it,doing reserach,trying to do the best I can,finding images,converting them...c'mon my friend,it's up to you to do a better job,a lot of time has gone since I did it,a lot of things have changed in the Italian military establishment as well,there is a lot of nice new hardware to put in...you are welcome if you do it

I will be gratefull,since I have no time to do it myself again

82VAM,
FULLY understand your time issues, however if I may, I came across some information to indicate that there is an updated version to the ARIETE C1 called either the ARIETE C2 or II. the issue is if the information is correct the FCS and TI/GSR was/is the major upgrade done. I understand it has the Galileo Avionica TURMS II system which would put it on my list of tanks (See the MBT Thread.) that need to have their TI/GSR values increased to 50. Can you provide any information to back mine up regarding the ARIETE?
Thank You for your consideration of this matter.

Regards,
Pat

Hi Pat,
as I stated before,there's a lot of new hardware and stuff,as well as changes in organization overall,into the Armed Forces in these years,wich needs to be updated

About the MBT Ariete,all I know is that the step II,due to budget shortages,would not happen at the moment,just an upgrading of the systems as you pointed out,so it will still be Ariete C1,as long as I know,it's not easy to get informations like these over here unfortunately...

82VAM,
Sorry for the long delay but life keeps on side tracking me away from here. Even CINCLANTHOME has mentioned that a week ago and trust me that's scary!?! Anyway back to the ARIETE C1, your information does match mine to a limited system upgrade but not to the full C2 level which I forgot to mention also included up gunning to a 120mm L55 main gun. What I called the TURMS II is in reality the TURMS/T which is the upgraded version of the original TURMS as referred to in the ref below which has not been updated to reflect this (And they do updates in the PROJECTS Section.). So my feeling is at this point to have someone else prove me wrong here and add it to the list of tanks to have it's vision increased to 50. I should be able to establish a decent baseline start date from when the CENTUARO recieved it's update to the same system but with the full package, which by default as with the M2A3 BRADLEY AFV (As associated and having recieved the same new FCS as the ABRAMS SEP V2.) should also have it's vision increased to 50 also.

I hope you had a chance to note the team here has added a handful of new toys to this OOB in the last 3-4 years.

Thanks Again!
