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

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.

Just a note, the Special Police was first created by the Japanese authorities as “Tokubetsu Keisatsutai” (no relation to the IJN organization of the same name) as a sort of gendarmerie. Later, they went to become the Mobile Brigade Corps, the paramilitary force of the Indonesian National Police.

they give it the German ammo instead of the Belgian one
I suppose it’s a balancing measure…
Harimau specific Camos (excluding the desert/snow one), both are tricolors
Interesting note, the brown one is technically semi-historical, since its used on the pre-2018 hull instead of the modern one we have ingame
of course the new brown camo is not there (any skinmakers, good opportunity here)
the model is really well done surprisingly, the only thing i can nitpick is the missing PINDAD logo but i pressume its due to copyright reasons
another small tiny thing, but ingame the spade is right-way up when it should be down. But its the most minute issue i have, great job Gaijin

Is this model made by Gaijin? As far as I know, most models are public.
no clue, im just happy its a good model
Is the reload supposed to be 7.5 seconds?
Seems awfully slow for a modern autoloader
it seems so
I warn you, the image refers to the CT-CV, the predecessor of the 3105. Maybe @Thomas_Belgium can give you a more exhaustive answer

Yes, the reload rate of 5.0s was only achieved on the first few rounds in the XC-8 version on the autoloader when the gun is basically perfectly level, but all three turrets have the same autoloader system (CT-CV. XC-8 and 3105). So 7.5 seconds is a very fair reload rate to use, considering you can elevate and depress the gun.
I have in my notes some mentions of 5.0 seconds, but that was done by stressing the equipment, which is fine for a short duration during combat, but after a few dozen rounds it would tear itself apart.
The marketed 6-8 rounds per minute value is the safe estimate.

I see, I wasn’t sure because the turret exists ingame already and (typically) has a reload time of 5 seconds.
Check the fixes for the (upcoming) update.
