UNIT REQUEST: Ariete MBT

[Shady]

I think that the process should continue to have a tank for every civ so here is one request for the Italians.

"The Italian Army has decided to procure two types of combat vehicle, tracked main battle tanks and wheeled armoured vehicles. To meet the specifications for vehicles for intervention in classic battlefield operations, a second-generation battle tank and an infantry fighting vehicle have been developed. The Ariete CI is currently being brought into service and studies are being carried out for an advanced second or third-generation battle tank. The Italian Army took delivery of its first Ariete main battle tank in December 1995.

Ariete has a crew of four, a combat weight of 52 tonnes, a maximum speed of 65 km/h, a 550 km range and is able to surmount 60% gradients. It comes mounted with a 120 mm gun, integrated fire control system with laser rangefinder and a 7.62 mm machine gun. It will also be fitted with a stabilised panoramic periscope with night and day sight (infrared camera) and a digital fire control system and other advanced technological facilities."

here's basically the same information with some specs-

Oh, I really like the Ariete. I've been wanting to make one for quite some time now. Unfortunately, now I'm working with Poser on some ancient units. You should have posted the request a few weeks ago.
