There’s also the missing turret basket

Afaik no but if you research the smoke grenades it actually does fix it, even though the gun still has awful depression facing backwards you no longer have to get past a invisible mast
Now that the Thai air tree is complete, hopefully in 2025, the focus will now shift to the ground tree. Since Thailand uses many vehicles that are not yet represented in the game, I believe the ground sub-tree will be even more interesting to explore.
Although Thailand operates many Patton tanks, aside from the M60A3 TTS, I don’t believe the others are currently in the game. This includes the M60A1 RISE with a searchlight and without ERA.
But yeah, brace yourself for the Pattons.

Many years have passed, and Taiwan M60A3 TTS still lacks the metal rods on the side of the turret because Gaijin basically copy-pasted the M60A3 TTS from the US tech tree and just removed the ERA from it. When I made a camo for the Taiwan M60A3, the camo template still has the ERA mounts on it.
Imagine Gaijin would do the same for M60A1 RISE.

I didn’t know that was a thing. Maybe if there is another nation that share the same model it might get fixed Copium
Please no Patton spam 💀
Maybe the TIFCS tho

Well, I don’t see why we can’t just nitpick the indigenous upgrades or modifications implemented by Thailand (TIFCS, Blazer ERA, applique log armor) while simultaneously leaving out anything that originated from the U.S. (M48A5PI, M60A1 Rise, M60A3 TTS).

And even then, the M48A5PI isn’t in game, so it would still be new, while the regular M60A1 RISE and M60A3 TTS can get the Blazer ERA and “WERA” as modifications so they get their representation too.
That’d be all Thai Pattons without a single C&P vehicle

That would be nice. Let’s hope Gaijin goes for these unique additions

Yep but its stationary afaik, never fitted onto a chassis. Other people might know more about it though.

M35 truck equipped with a M61 Vulcan taken from retired A-7 Corsair II.
Since it’s just a testbed, the weapon system appears to be controlled externally, with no fire control system installed inside the truck. However, for the sake of gameplay over realism, they could probably place the gunner inside the driver’s cab anyway, similar to the Type 81.

Since we appear to be on the topic of Thailand, may I bring up a selection of very interesting vehicles posted by user @MahaLaiMahaLok around this time last year in the Siam-Thailand lineups thread. I feel like these were kind of forgotten so I feel obliged to bring light to them again.
Vehicles of most interest to me include:
Dodge M37 w/ M39A2 20mm autocannon presumably taken from an F-5E jet
M41A3 w/ Cockerill Mk IV cannon, similar to the M41A1UR from Uruguay.
I have to wonder if this is a Thai-made modification though, or perhaps an overseas trial of an original Cockerill prototype for the aforementioned Uruguay upgrade.
An M35 truck with some sort of 105mm MLRS. I do have to wonder if this can use 105mm recoilless rifle HEAT rounds as well.
Also mounted in smaller form on an M37
There are a few more vehicles in the thread I linked, but I think it would be nice to get some more sources on them outside of just photos, Maha claims that they were mostly found in a Thai defense magazine.
