There are trusted leakers so I would not trust this one. Though it is first leak list of the update season so we are getting close to true dev blogs I guess.

People get jumpy

Where the naval ships?

sheeeiiitttt

I think it’s 100% legit because there is nothing for Italy and nothing good for France and Japan.

Aside the joke, I don’t think it’s real.
Even tho I don’t think next update will be a big one, the true important one with the first 5th gen will be december in my opinion

Labeled the M113A2 UMI as a US vehicle instead of a Singaporean vehicle

PLZ-45 is not specified to any country other than the PRC

No AW-159 Wildcat

Swedish helicopter despite being denied that

No M270

No A-6E Swip or A-4M for “Mark of Authenticity”

The Unique Indian vehicle is not labeled as a “premium”

Japan already has the Indonesian Leo 2A4

Italy has a vehicle or two in the list, same with Japan

I couldn’t think of a leak list that is faker than this one

For those who have yet to hear, I have discovered footage of the Chi-Ha (and CTLS) operating under Indonesian revolutionary fighters in Surabaya.




The clearest footage I could find is from a TVRI (Televisi Republik Indonesia) video on Youtube, although the short clip has appeared a few other times elsewhere. It is undoubtedly from archives, but I have yet to locate the original source. 7:44 is the relevant timestamp.
TVRI FILES “Bung Tomo”

To clarify, I currently have no way of knowing if this tank is the same one currently found in the Brawijaya Museum, not just because of the different camouflage and markings, but also due to the fact that the above Chi-Ha has its circular turret antenna attached (although this could have easily been removed at a later point for convenience, as it would’ve gotten in the way for revolutionaries trying to hitch a ride as seen here). Also noteworthy is that there is obviously no 6pdr mounted on this tank, which as for the moment, puts a bit of a damper on this rumor.

Curiously, there may still be more AFVs yet to find. On a reasonably well sourced e-Journal from October of 2017, it is suggested that at the Lindeteves building, which was converted by the Japanese into a tank workshop, the Indonesians managed to captured 23 tanks of various types. Of these tanks, 3 were under repair, and 12 were deemed too damaged for use, leaving 8 more or less ready for operational service.

After visits to other Japanese strongpoints in the city, the revolutionaries had massed 11 tanks total (armored vehicles of all sort made this count), some of which were handed to over to the newly formed “Special Police”, a sort of MP that eventually participated in widespread fighting alongside other units. The other tanks were kept at Lindeteves, naturally because it already had the infastructure in place to maintain them.

Regarding Special Police force usage, it seems that from limited photo evidence they primarily operated at least three Marmon-Herrington Mk III armored cars, and at least one Vickers Mk IIIB light tank; all former KNIL vehicles used by the Japanese. Here is a source for the three Marmons, which can be supported with footage and imagery of knocked out vehicles if need be.



For other known tanks in the revolution, there are of course the Chi-Ha and CTLS, as well as the Type 97 Te-Ke seen today in the Nationaal Militair Museum. All of these tanks could have been used in quantites greater than one, but I cannot confirm this. Alongside the Special Police vehicles, these would add up to a mere 6 “tanks”, so unless Universal carriers are making up the other 7, it’s quite possible that a new model entirely has yet to be seen; not to mention any of the ~15 inoperable vehicles in the Lindeteves depot that the Indonesians may have gotten working later in the revolution.
