Will probably come with the rest of the promised (but not yet delivered) rest of Indonesian vehicles. Maybe next update unless Japan getting cool (non Chinese) stuff close to Chinese holiday is a problem too lol

not unique case, Romanian aircraft like IAR-81C still use Italian voice since the early day of Italian TT
These are M20s, look at the length of the first and second one in the 1st photo, you can see they are not nearly as long as an M40 would be, not to mention the breech design is also that of an M20.
yeah honestly I’m not entirely sure it was the M40 anyway, but I dont recall us ever using M20s. Marine corps only uses the chinese variant (52 & 56), but i guess we couldve captured the original via PERMESTA as well
Yeah i think it’s M20 too since it didn’t have spotting rifle and the mount in the gun
it’s either captured from PERMESTA or the Army actually use the chinese copy
tbf this kind of thing is not surprising since during my research for Squad Indonesian ground force suggestion i found out that Marines use chinese copy of RPO-A
Also since the M40 is longer the gun should be reaching the top of engine bay if installed in the back like this Indian M40 Jonga
Planes have voicelines?

In that case it could be a Type 52 or 56 as well, I don’t know how to tell them apart from the M20 but they’re obviously just foreign copies.
If anyone interested i found a document listing many weapons still in Indonesian armed force/MoD inventory during my research for Squad, including vehicle weaponry such as Madsen-Saetter for the EBR

Finally finished my ID Humfox suggestion, its now in pending o7
Some interesting Budget Allocations provided by KERIS
- Budget Allocation for the Marine Corps’ Self-Propelled Air Defence Vehicle is 12 million USD
Image
already in the greenbook, so it had been approved by the financial ministry, meaning its more or less final.
relatively low-budget so either some cold-war relic or other nonsense
- 150 Million USD for the BrahMos Coastal Defence Missile system (40x missiles, 4x launchers)
Image
this one was mentioned to be at a standstill, the budget is there its just hasnt been triggered yet
So what candidate for marine SPAA? Knowing what kind of heavy equipment marines use it’s probably from either Belarus, Russia or China
almost certainly wouldnt be anything heavy nor noteworthy. Some people theorized it as Shilkas, but others say it most likely just a truck with aa missile, like the one used by kopasgat or yonarhanud. I think the most likely option is the latter
but it could very well be a light tank as well, the BVP-2 is classified as an SPAA by the Marine Corps, so its not too far fetched that it could be another light tank
problem is for 12 million is very low, so the options are obviously going to be limited
approved! Check it out!

just curious is lightweight Howitzer like LG1 is able to be fired from PTS or it’s impossible with major modification?.

not clear but most likely its just used as a transport
from general observation the crew area to operate the gun is limited, braces are not extended, and even if it was firing it on a amphibious lightly armored tincan may damage the hull.
If it can be fired from the vehicle surely we would have some footage of that, but majority of firing videos of the LG-1 is from soft-terrain

i think with some mod at minimum it’s could be done much like various guns portee on MT-LB
or at least something like Type 94 Truck (Type 41) in suggestion post

well if you can give good enough of a argument it could be added.
There are many vehicles that firing the gun will break the vehicle in time but sometimes it does not matter and wont matter in game.
I wouldnt compare a 75mm WW1 era dinky mountain gun to a 105mm modern howitzer
The key problem is it cannot be fully deployed. The LG-1 needs to have the braces between the wheel extended as well (you can see it in the photo on the right)
its not like we even know it can be modded or even fired on the chassis, so what we’re doing is entirely guesswork. unless we have some form of the gun being shown deployed or being mentioned to be able to fire on the chassis, it unfortunately will remain as fictional
True but those are dedicated vehicles though. The only vehicle i can think of where its just “slap x onto y” ingame is the BTR-ZD, and even then it still has mounts & braces

Bosvark and Yastervark both are ground mounts affixed to a truck, but they’re positively attached and it’s intended to be fired from the truck
