I already made a suggestion similar to the one you propose, including Argentina, Brazil and Chile, which are Latin America’s military powers and have a certain relationship with Israel. If I’m not mistaken, the Central American countries that you mention do not have equipment closely linked to Israel and Their vehicles are not very advanced, the one that could be added could be Colombia since they use the Kfir C.10 which are very good and come from Israel, in the aerial tree that I am making I could add it as an event/premium
Kinda werid, a south Amercia country in a middle east country as a sub-Tree, that’s somthing I cannot understand.
Firstly, might wanna change you name (even if it’s kinda tru, cuz this ain’t 2000 anymore)
Secondly, yes it does make sense, and it’s explained in the suggestion why it makes sense. Geography doesn’t matter really at all is terms of Subtree implementations or country relations. (But in relation to geography: Looks at Indian/South African Subtrees for Britain)

I made a whole introduction telling the story between Chile’s link with Israel, friend.

It could be the Chilean equivalent of the Magach Hydra, I wish they had left the cannon during the rocket firing tests, I don’t know if this leopard could be suggested in the forum as an unfinished prototype and therefore including the cannon, we would have to ask a moderator

maybe a squadron vehicle, it could fit in that way maybe

I don’t think it’d be possible to suggest it as an incomplete vehicle as, as far as I know, it was just a testbed made to determine the feasibility of mounting an MLRS on a Leopard 1V and/or in this manner. Even the FAMAE YouTube channel refers to this vehicle as a demonstrator. This would essentially make it a completed vehicle as it’s purpose was accomplished in full. Unless there’s documented proof that the final design is meant to feature a main gun, I think the current form is what you can expect to see if added.
It’s true, that’s why I didn’t want to add it, I haven’t even thought about suggesting it as a vehicle in a separate post since that vehicle was used to test the viability of using the leopard 1v chassis as a rocket launcher, it could work as a rocket launcher since it fires 40 70 mm rockets with similar characteristics to the Hydra 70, but what bothers me is the additional weight of the turret which in this case only serves to make the system rotate 360°, it could be an interesting vehicle to add but I’m not sure, I would like to know what the community thinks about him. It would serve for BR 8.0 since the rockets penetrate 290 mm but I would add it as a premium/event.

It served the same purpose as the VT1-2. It wouldn’t be anything the game hasn’t seen before. It would make for a very entertaining and unique pure MLRS as it actually has AP capabilities and a fully rotating turret. I would personally grind it out during an event purely because of how dumb it looks. I’m always up for more testbed vehicles.

okay, then I think I will make the suggestion within the forum and if I see a good acceptance from the community I will add it to the Chilean sub tree

@Rambolf well fair enough seems like someone didnt like the chile talk
seems more of a focus on pure rpg defensive seems like they arent considering / worrying about actual tank to tank combat
nope
It’s really their only option.

ABC would be nice, and Singapore would work well too potentially. Its quite frankly not the ONLY option, however it is under the best and most understandable option.

I want to clarify that the modernization of Chile’s Leopard 2A4 by Aselsan does include armor, in unofficial leaks from Chilean tank crews or people from the military area in Chile they assured that the modernization is divided into 4 phases that I am going to explain next:
-
Phase 1: Internal tank communications (Radios, etc.). This is the current phase that is about to end since they would be 90% done .
-
Phase 2: FCS and optronics, new independent periscopes for gunner and commander, latest generation thermal vision, turret and gun electrical system, 360° vision system for the driver, fire extinguishing and explosion suppression system, threat detection system nuclear and chemical.
-
Phase 3: Additional armor kit with high protection and low weight ballistic armor and protection system and reactive and composite lattice armor, particle shield (anti-detachment coating), chassis with high protection against mines, new anti-impact seats for the driver and crew of the tower.
-
Phase 4: still unknown, I will inform you when I know more about it but it could be the APS system

Also recently, the commander of the fifth tank division of Chile that operates the Leopard 1V in the south of Chile reported that very soon they will receive an upgrade in all their armored material, there are 2 hypotheses about what he meant, the first is that Taking advantage of the contract with Aselsan for the upgrading of Leopard 2, they could also modernize the Leopard 1V, which would also increase their BR within my Chilean tree. The second option is to buy new armored vehicles, possibly more Leopard 2, although it is not known which version. Personally, I think that the option of modernizing the Leopard 1V is more possible and logical, since currently the market to buy Leopard 2 is complicated by the wars that have been happening in the world, mainly in Ukraine.

I mean 2a8s are open to order.
Just only might need some time
