Armored Vehicle Lovers Group
Hobbies & Interests
this is a group, (like the tank and aircraft lovers) is dedicated to the IFV (infantry fighting vehicle) like the BMP-2 the M2A2 bradly and so on and so forth, from made up to real life, and anything in between. from treads to wheels to hover, this is for all you people who enjoy those rumbling rolling armored vehicles, that when on the target drop their ramps to emit a large group of infantry.

Shouldn't this be posted on the Tank Killer Lovers group? Moddb.com
Anyway, the Centauro is indeed an Italian vehicle, but the one from this picture is in service with the Spanish Land Army. Judging by the emblem on the side-front it's from the Cavalry Brigade Castillejos II, with HQ at Zaragoza. The photo must've been taken during the annual parade in Madrid, every October 12th.
Just adding some more info :D
They don't use it specifically for killing tanks. It's job is recon; the big gun means it can take on tanks if it runs into any (or anything else... IFVs, children..)
you know, it's kinda hard to call it a tank-killah with that "big" 105-mm gun, since there are no modern tanks suitable for this "killer" :D
In SB Pro I've managed to take out moving T-80Us at over 2 kilometers with a Centauro
Took quite a few shots since its FCS has no lead calculation, but it happened
