Quite a rare vehicle, that being said luckily I do have images, albeit kind of low quality.
This version of ARMA 8x8 likely has 600 horsepower engine. As far as I can remember only ARMA 8x8 came with 720 horsepower engine was showcased during İDEF 2021. It is not amphibious with higher GVW.
This version was base for RABDAN 8x8, which has 600 horsepower engine.

Amazing, thank you! I’ll edit that
Even though that the proposal has a lot of interesting vehicles in it but I would have to say no to it. Some of the nations can be TT’s with their own right; Egypt paired with Sudan, Syria and Yemen since they were part of the same country at one point. Be paired with existing or proposed tt’s; Botswana and Namibia to a future South African TT, Morocco as a subtree of France, maybe Libya as a subtree of Yugoslavia, maybe Algeria as a Russian Subtree and every North African country in a Arab league TT. Though I cannot deny that some of these African Nations are kind of in a awkward spot since they don’t have perfect alternatives to be added in existing TT’s.
My dude Chieftain, I got a few points for you here.
Egyptian T-34-85 is a Model 1953 or (1953), equipped with a DsHK.
The AO T-34-85 would be the Model 1969 or (1969).
These two models are a must because they were widely exported to African nations.
Algerians and Egyptians also used Su-100 from Czech factories. Those had smokes and could have also used early HEAT shells.
Both T-34-85s can use HEAT shells, and both have smokes. 1969 did not come with a DsHK tho.
Ethiopia has a basic T-55 with rubber side skirts which I simply called T-55 “Rubber” in my tree. In addition, Ethiopians have a T-55 with a D-30 cannon.
Angola also has a T-72M with the old range finder that was not featured in the game yet. Meanwhile, the UNITA used a T-64B.
It’s a shame you didn’t include the Nigerian FV101s and FV107s
(Apparently they also have some FV721s lmao)
yea they bought the fox off of britain, with the electric drives so wont have the guesswork nerf to the turret traverse like the british one

I respect that, thanks for sharing!
The Egyptian one is specifically an Egyptian upgrade — not a standard Soviet one, although it does closely resemble some obr. 1969 variants. The sideskirts in particular are not Soviet (to my knowledge)
I’m not sure if the Angolan ones were all obr. 1969. I’ll do some more research, I want to keep one standard WW2-era T-34-85. If I have to switch the nation I will.
Unnecessary copy-paste, imo. Even with the HEAT, although I guess one could go at ~7.0 at Rank IV… I’ll think about it.
The former is unnecessary. There’s a T-54 1949 and a T-55A obr. 1970 for 8.0 and 8.3 respectively, no need for another. The D-30 one is in the tree — it’s Eritrean (and i wrongly identified it as a ZTZ59, it’s actually a T-55M — I need to update the suggestion for it). Unless you mean the T-54/55 shown with a D-30 next to this modified ZSD89? AFAIK there haven’t been any more images of it. Until that happens I won’t add it, because we don’t even know what the modification looks like
There are so many MBTs already that I can’t really add more. Plus, those are both less unique than the vehicles already in the tree.
Trying to reduce copy-paste, and the light tank line is practically full already. They would be fun, maybe I’ll add them in a folder somewhere, I’ll think about it.
I hope my autism will be of some use to you friend:
I definitely would like to see all these vehicles in game. However, I think this adding this tree would be opening a whole can of worms
Where are the glorius chad toyota trucks

Possible Additions:
Notes:
I expanded Rank III with some lower BR vehicles, to help provide a better lineup for new players. Two out of the four 3.7s are copy-paste, but oh well!
I’m trying to fill all the gaps. This update adds a bunch more Egyptian vehicles that I left out originally, and there’s a couple more I need to do some more digging into, primarily their mysterious M60 upgrade (vismod or real vehicle?)
These additions mostly help the lower ranks and the premium section. I’m a bit stuck for Rank VII and VIII — other than more SPAA, I genuinely don’t think I can add anything else at top tier, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
E.G. Chad, Niger, Mali, Central African Republic and South Sudan?
They have plenty of options to add to the TT.
There are only so many gaps to be filled, tbh. I’m trying to keep within the 3 vehicles / folders per line, and trying to keep copy-paste to a minimum.
I do have a list of potential additions in the post, and I’m sure there are more. If you have any specific vehicles in mind feel free to share them, I may have missed them.
But yeah, I do plan on updating it. Just has been lower down on my to-do list :)
Given that copy-paste has been reduced more than I expected in this tree I’d even give this one a pass, though I found it strange that there is no mention of Libya, although they wouldn’t contribute a lot in terms of original vehicles.
Thanks!
The reason Libya is barely in it is because there aren’t many unique additions that aren’t from various non-government factions in the numerous civil wars. I’m not including any vehicles from non-internationally recognised countries or insurgent / terrorist groups because of the political implications.
Maybe there are some good Libyan ones I missed? I’d be happy to add some if there are.
I have searched for one all morning but nothing has come up anywhere unfortunately, so, they’d probably be represented through camouflages or filler vehicles, but there is no significant gap anywhere as I can see.
Just clumping all African nations together and shipping it as a new tree seems wrong in many ways. They fight each other constantly so why are they in a unified tree? They were under provisional control during ww2, so why do they need to have anything below rank V? This would just ruin ww2 ranks more. Seems like bait.
