History[ | ]

Centauro 105[ | ]

Class: Tank Destroyer
Developed: 1984-1988
Service: 1989+
Vehicles Built: 484
Operators: Italy, Spain, Jordan

The B1 Centauro is a wheeled fire support vehicle with tank-killing capabilities, designed in the 1980s to replace the obsolete M47 MBTs with something that has superior strategic mobility. Since then, the Centauro has proven its worth time and again and was also exported to several countries. It was used successfully during several peacekeeping missions.

VRCC[ | ]

Class: Tank Destroyer
Developed: 1984-1988
Service: 1999+
Vehicles Built: 84
Operators: Spain

This is a Spanish version of the B1 Centauro called Vehículo de Reconocimiento y Combate de Caballería (VRCC) in Spanish service. Spain acquired 84 B1 Centauros in the classic 105mm configuration between 1999 and 2006 to replace the aging AMX-30E tanks. The initial 22 vehicles delivered between 2000 and 2001 were all built in Italy. For the rest of the deliveries, Spain demanded technology transfers to take place, something that would happen later on. The remaining 62 vehicles were built in Spain between 2004 and 2006. These Spanish-made vehicles featured several improvements such as a new thermal imager, a new intercom and a second machinegun on the roof. They have never seen combat.

Vehicle Traits[ | ]

  • Marksman: This vehicle can fire advanced ammunition from its accurate weapon, allowing it to destroy enemy armor at long distances.
  • HESH Rounds: This vehicle can fire special Squash Head rounds. These are extremely effective against angled armor that is typical for Soviet tanks.
  • Ready Rack: This vehicle features a Ready Rack, which consists of several easily accessible rounds. It can fire several rounds in rapid succession, after which the reload time increases. Ready Rack reloads automatically when not in combat.

Description:
This ability temporarily turns your vehicle into a deadly sniper by increasing its camouflage and accuracy. However, it also prevents you from moving and makes your turret traverse much slower.

Conditions:
If your vehicle moves even a little, this ability will deactivate or becomes impossible to activate.
