Okay type 87 RCV (p) honestly does better at 8.7, in a full uptier against Germany is when i pull it.




Honestly 8.7 against Germany is the only thing that kept me sane spading it

Also for the nuke on American desert that T55 AM-1 can go **** himself Ho Ri Supremacy!!!

Seriously skip play the RCV against Germany and flank and play like a Rat, uncap objectives and listen and youll do fine.

(Just have to blow your brains out getting the APDS…)

It’s mostly personal bias, but I find Pattons dreadfully boring. Only the later iterations, such as the RISE, are interesting to me.

Given how much more accurately WOT implemented the STA and STB, I wonder what other discrepancies will show up between this and WT.

Please fix the gun sight :(

Good thing about thai is they’d add like 4 ukraine vehicles that, lets be real, most likely wont enter the game for a good bit if not ever.

Spoiler

BTR-3E1 with 90mm CMI CSE90LP

They pretty much confirmed Thailand for Japanese tree, or? And I see no reason to not add the Oplot-T.

I mean… japan already has an air thai sub tree dont see how they cant add ground

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

Pantsir 12.0, Tan-SAM would be same br as FlaRakRad and ADATS

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

apart from falarick 90, those are quite terrible performance, even worse than what ZTS-63 have at 7.7, definitely not 9.X worthy

Probably, but still better than usual 90mm low-pressure rat gun found at 7.x (given none have either thermals or laser rangefinders)

the thai sub tree for air at least in the higher ranks (10.3+) adds virtually nothing especially at the 10.3-11.0 BR’s theres quite literally nothing

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.
BTR-3E1 (ATMS)
VN-16



T-84 Oplot-T (full armor)

VL-MICA as multi-Vehicle SAM for when that’s added
VL MICA

And some very promising concepts for AFV420 and R600 chassis that are still in prototype stage
AFV-420P (30mm)
AFV-420P (ATGM)
AFV-420P (SPAA)


Panus R600 (105mm)
Panus R600 (120mm)
Panus R600 (Anti-Aircraft)

I’d agree it’s not enough just yet, but unless Gaijin mess up completely it’s not nothing either.

I still lack the idea why they wanted to plop a stingray turret on that m41 hull tbh…

Extend the life time of M41 chassis while preserving stingray chassis to reduce costs

oh those wacky thai guys

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.
