Tbh this could have been a squadron vehicle for 9.x BR in lieu of RCV (P), which I consider a waste of squadron research points.
Like the thing (90mm BTR) was, afaik, a proposal for Thais and was trialed only, so it would fit quite neetly the place. But I forsee it as a future event vehicle for Japan (yet again, Thai ground forces should arrive sooner or later + there isn’t and wasn’t a single event ground vehicle for Japan).
Its the low pressure Cockerill, so would be ~6.7-7.0 going by other AFVs with the gun. 250mm heat wouldn’t be fun even with a LRF (if it has one I honestly don’t know) @ 9.x
Not only HEAT but also APFSDS (about 100mm pen 60° @ 1000m) + Tandem ATGM (Falarick 90 w/ at least 550mm pen), couple these w/ laser rangefinder and thermal imager and you get a workable light tank with capabilities unique enough to be either squadron or event
Sure, it’s still less than other nations even when combined with Japan, but it’s not nothing and they have a bit of fun stuff to add in the 10.0+ area.
Spoiler
The normal stuff, like the Oplot, M60A3 TIFCS and BTR-3s. You might have to take away VT-4, VN-1 and VN-16, but even then they don’t seem nearly as controversial as they did in the past.
Funny true story, when RTA first recieved stingrays they were met with tons of reports for cracks in the hull, they sent some of the hull back to the US for evaluation but even Cadillac had no idea what was the cause. Later they found out that tankers were speeding the tank off dirt ramp to see who can make the tank fly the furthest which caused structural cracks from impact.
