Regarding the added vehicles, the upgrade is very much focussed on the package eSim has delivered to the Spanish military recently. A brief overview of the Southern stars:

The Leopardo-2E. It has in parts even tougher armour than the Leo2A5, and the new longer gun. Note that the TC cockpit offers an additonal map screen that could serve as some kind of IVIS system.

The Pizarro, an IFV. It is fully modelled and comes with complete 3D interior for TC and gunner. tutorials for the Piz are included.

The Centauro, a heavy-tank turret and tank gun mounted on a light wheel-chassis. Currently no cockpits for it, but the technical director of eSim indicated some days ago that this is about to change, and research for creating such cockpit is currently being done.

With Strv-122 and CV-9040, M1A1 and M2, Leo2E and Pizarros you now have a nice collection of national MBT-IFV couples. for the German Leo2 and the Marder, the Marder unfortunately lacks full cockpit implementation. The Danish also have their fully modelled Leo2A5DK and the new CV9035DK.

I'd love to see some dirty skins for those vehicles (especially the Pizarro) along the lines of the new Leo 2A4 and M1...
