 * High spot and rof: had high spotting ranges and rate of fire.
 * Uninhabited modules: the uninhabited turret (battle module) receives reduced damage.
 * Magazine loader: allows you to fire several rounds without reloading.

Player Recommendations
Featuring heavy, rapid firepower on a light nimble frame, the B1 Draco is a powerful killer capable of overwhelming enemy vehicles. Its rapid firing 76mm cannon offers massive damage in a short time, capable of destroying all but the toughest of vehicles. Highly mobile, it can rapidly relocate when under threat, as its armor only protects against light autocannon fire at best.

Pros

 * Very good accuracy
 * Good aim time
 * Good top speed
 * Deadly 76mm 12-round autocannon with good penetration and damage output
 * Clip reload is fairly fast for a 12-rounder
 * Capable of partial clip reload

Cons

 * Lightly armored
 * Extremely large and vulnerable target with a huge turret
 * Difficult to hide
 * Bad acceleration
 * Has problems with sharp turns and feels clumsy during positioning
 * Rear-mounted turret making it hard to shoot from hull-down position

Upgrade Suggestions
As a platform designed around firepower and mobility, the upgrades researched should reflect this. Upgrading to the Improved Gunner Sight, Improved Stowage, and the 76mm XM76A1 APFSDS will offer a more potent arsenal, and upgrading to the Improved Wheels will boost to the already good mobility.

Retrofit Suggestions

 * Advanced Fire Control
 * Advanced Muzzle Reference System
 * Improved Gun Breech

 * Commander: Viktor Kirsanov, for rate of fire and aim speed
 * Driver: Smooth Ride, Off Road Driving

History
Class: Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun (Prototype) Developed: 2008-2010 Service: N/A Vehicles Built: 1 Operators: N/A This is a B1 Centauro variant, fitted with an enlarged turret and carrying a 76mm L/62 rapid fire cannon developed by OTO Melara. The main goal of this project was to offer an anti-aircraft Centauro variant with enough range to take out even serious threats but without resorting to missiles. This way, the DRACO could also work as a fire support vehicle by attacking ground targets, including hardened ones. However, as with the other Centauro variants, the DRACO failed to obtain any customers and the project was terminated.
