For Strela twin mount on Unimog truck, it’s plausible that the configuration are similar to the East German Strela truck on the picture. although this is just the article author witness claim 30 years ago and without proof of picture.
ill probably add it once i add the misc ground vehicles section, but not on my priority at the moment
So what kind of vehicle to you plan to add to misc vehicle section aside from tested vehicle, planned to buy etc?
Well i suggest you add to the list some niche vehicle or AFV that still not sure to be added to the game like Aceh Insurgency Armored Unimog with M2 browning, BTR-40 (40mm AGL) etc
as ive said before, my stance is i wont add it until Gaijin implements a AGL-primary vehicle and there’s no point in adding coldwar/modern trucks to fight against ww1 tanks, unless that vehicle is plausible enough to be implemented without it being jarring
think stuart recce, btr-50 with dshk, etc
plus if infantry is going the way of Squad then those vehicle could play a massive part there instead
The P8 Light tank in that image seems to be AI btw, if this is from the same twitter source ive seen then its a bit questionable (Got tagged by SynthID check plus i’ve seen no mention of it elsewhere)
Yeah, it also just looks off compared to the real vehicle. Mainly things like the toothed sprocket in the front, metal tracks, weirdly asymmetric rocket launchers on both sides and closed off muzzle brake, but there’s probably more that I just didn’t see.
The IRIS-T was showcased by Diehl Defence to Indonesian Chargé d’affaires & Defense Attachés during a meeting in MSPO 2025 in Poland, among other things were also explained, such as IDAS, Smart munitions, & the HPEM Effectors
The Indonesian Embassy in Warsaw attended the opening of the Defense Industry Exhibition 33rd International Conference (MSPO) in Kielce, 4 September 2025
“On September 2, 2025, the Indonesian Embassy in Warsaw and the Indonesian Defense Ministry (Athan RI) attended the opening of MSPO 2025 (International Defense Industry Exhibition/Międzynarodowy Salon Przemysłu Obronnego) in Kielce, Poland. The exhibition was attended by high-ranking Polish officials, 811 companies from 35 countries, and delegates from 45 countries.”
“On this occasion, KUAI [Chargé d’affaires] and Athan [Defense Attachés] also held meetings with several defense industry players, including: Jakusz, which offered its “Paula” gas-tight container for countering explosives and hazardous substances; Germany’s Diehl Defence, which presented its IRIS-T guided missile-based air defense system and other products such as IDAS, precision ammunition, and the HPEM Effectors electromagnetic system; and Poland’s WB Group, which displayed its FONET tactical communications system and FlyEye surveillance drone. These presences are part of efforts to strengthen defense cooperation and open up opportunities for strategic collaboration between Indonesia and international partners.”
of course its only talks, so nothing will happen most likely, but the interest is there
Does anyone have colorized photo of tank camo and marking insignia from the 40s to the 70s? because i kinda not trust the historical accuracy of Tank monument painted camo just so we know and have idea what kind of camo and marking that can could differentiate Indonesian tank from from Japanese and Thai tank. (just like company marking and flag on American tank in Italy)
camos are a bit of a hodgepodge, its hard to narrow it down especially, like marine corps uses like 4 different camos in a short time (unicolor, ‘watermelon style’ , spots, two tone, etc)
i suggest asking at formiler forums on facebook, you can usually find a bit more indepth answers there
As NFrost51 said, camo color may varied between branches or units. Markings are also varied for that time frame:
1950s
Spoiler
For the Army, usual markings consisted of the national flag (red-white) with the vehicle’s number on the turret side, while the Marines consisted of “KORPS KOMANDO” inscription and the vehicle’s number.
For the Army, the vehicle’s number now are located in the fenders, with the number started by a white star. Unit markings can also be found in the fenders. Sometimes, three digit number is painted on the turret sides. Marines remains the same as in the 1950s.
Found an image of the GS 105 with what looks like the original shorter barrel (french-version), didnt know we had two different types? could be the perspective, not entirely sure?
From What i can search, There is 2 version of this SPH. Mk 61 which is the regular version and Mk 62 that offered to the Swiss with fully rotating turret and longer barrel. obviously Mk 62 is not Operated by Indonesia so the probable version is that SPH is retrofitted SPH with longer barrel although i never heard such mod were done, only the engine and transmission retrofit were done afaik
Know maybe which group that might help?
This group is the most often come into my feed but for some reason it’s hard to post there due their selective approval for post
I touched on this in my pending suggestion, but basically:
Obusier de 105 Mle 1950 sur affût automoteur (OB 105 Mle 50 AU) is the original french version, this one uses a door panel style cupola, with some also have a dome cupola similar to the AMX-13. the vehicle also have the original 23-caliber version, this was used by France and was exported to Israel, Morocco, & trialed by West Germany
you can see in the first image that the hatch beside the gun opens upwards like a door. The second image uses the later Dome turret which opens rearwards
the AMX Mk62 came earlier (originally conceived in 1952 alongside the original casemate) to mount a turret version instead. The longer caliber was mounted on this variant. Switzerland obtained 4 units and 1 unit was also trialed by the French artillery
Swiss AMX Mk62 with a rotating turret
the AMX-105 Mk.61 moniker meanwhile was specifically used for improved export version. This variant would mount the same improved caliber barrel of the Mk62. The vehicle would be used by Indonesia & Netherlands (maybe France as well but not entirely certain on that). All of Indonesia & Netherland’s version uses the dome turret as well as differing Roof MGs, Indonesia uses the M60, Netherlands uses the FN MAG. The vehicles were classified as Meriam GS 105mm Howitzer (by ID) & AMX-PRA (by NL)
Btw i found this in X during the usual Nguyen formilers shenanigans, it’s the REO M35 Truck with DShKM. perfect for BR 1.0 Milk truck perhaps?
(Better speed, better engine, better Weight/HP Ratio, but bigger than the GAZ AAA)
I think it’s fine if this kind of SPAA is added to the game if people’s or newbies want to use JP 1.0 Lineup and don’t want full 2.3 uptier because of taking Type 94 SPAA and at least this is not the weirdest/out of place SPAA out there.
