They’re adding a vehicle to a BR and tree that they know that Thai needs it, and you don’t like it.
Adding the Thailand vehicle to japanese tree is irresistible, since they are a sub-tree of Japan.

If we don’t add any vehicles from Thailand while they are acting subtree of Japan, why should we keep them as subtree of Japan?

Since when was Thailand a standalone tree?

On your point where multiple countries own the same tanks prime example sherman the majority own them some even questionabley better it’s either because they were captured in real life or bought so in that sense they would be there, the oplot t is a direct export for Thailand so does this mean the Thai can’t have them because it’s Ukrainian ? Yet it only exists with its specific changes to the oplot, look at the trialed oplot m Pakistan oplot they should of got completely different the side protection and lack of an air con unit on the back of the turret, now with the few images of the Ukrainian oplot again different with the upper turret why is so hard to understand they’re three different tanks essentially as they wouldn’t of been made had it been for only Ukraine and I guarantee the btr for Thailand like the oplot t would of had climate appropriate mods done you want nations to only run what they have then go play blitz or wot this game uses concepts, trial vehicles, ideas and brings them to the game mabye when they shouldn’t exist or bring value but you know what great I’d rather grind a soul crushing tank to get to where I want because it’s better to have then not have at all, heads up since it may not have clicked Thailand is gonna bring some interesting vehicles “copy” or not and for those wanting to play the Japan tree there’s no downfall either you hate the fact Thailand uses Ukraine vehicles and the many others or you can’t accept Thailand possess these vehicles is it hate pride or something else if Thailand was in Russia I’m sure you’d be chuffed because yes that makes sense historically if you can’t even understand what I just referred to this comment is wasted.

Will you stop nitpicking reply for at least five minutes?

It is okay if you dislike the addition of BTR-3E1
However, it is not okay that you gatekeep the addition of Thai vehicles.

Yeah I don’t think his issue is any specific point, but instead just that it’s not an addition he cares for. Of course he’d rather see another vehicle if he doesn’t want to play this one. Maybe he doesn’t even play the nation and is worried about facing it, only he’d know really.

I think the best response to this was already given.

It has nothing to do with being a Thai vehicle. You’re just going off topic

Nope. I’m just tired of Gajin adding dumb vehicles to already saturated BRs, e.g the new Russian Pantsir, the Dragoon, and here the BTR-3.

I’m currently living in Australia, but can you tell Gaijin to add aus servers because apparently they’ve forgotten that Australia actually exists in real life, not just in War Thunder :D

Well, as you know, if Thailand hadn’t bought BTR-3, then there would be no Thai BTR-3 in the Japanese tech tree.
So it has something to do with being a Thai vehicle.

Gaijin wouldn’t add UAE BTR-3U into japanese tech tree, innit?

How in the world can discussing the addition of Thai BTR-3E1 in the BTR-3E1 topic be off topic?

Eeerrrm… You know…
We need to get vehicles updated, 4 times a year. Right?

If we need to ask them stop adding vehicles because BR are saturated. As a 200% joke, maybe the US/USSR/GER ends up with getting no vehicles in the whole year…

If the ability to fire ATGMs on the move is implemented (as per the accepted bug report), and if the full recreation of the BTR-3E1 FCS (with duplicated controls) is also accepted and implemented later, what would you think about giving the BTR-3E1 the «DTC10-30» shell along with a BR increase (and a thermal channel for its UAV)?

This is a Chinese 30mm shell for the ZPZ02 / ZPT-99 cannon, which are clones of the 2A72 (or the Ukrainian ZTM-1). To my knowledge, Thailand purchased Chinese VN1 APCs (export version of the ZBL-08) armed with this cannon. Following the precedent of the «BTA4» and «GP125» shells given to the BM Oplot-T (since Thailand IRL also operates Chinese VT-4 tanks that use these rounds), the Thai BTR-3E1 could logically utilize the «DTC10-30» shell as well.

Absolutely it should get DTC10-30 if it’s BR is brought up from the missile capability, probably around 9.7-10.0 but nothing greater than that. Also seriously solid job on all the bug reports, much appreciated. Have you seen any sources on the horizontal traverse capability? It just feels slow compared to videos I’ve seen before.

According to the sources I know, the BTR-3E1 has a stated turret rotation and vertical guidance speed of 35°/s both horizontally and vertically.

However, in-game this is only available with a fully maxed-out crew, including Expert and Ace qualifications (as is the case for all other vehicles in the game).

when will the BTR get the tracking and fire on move capabilities?

or are we again nerfing vehicles for fun of it?
