General Japanese & Thai Ground Forces Discussion HQ

I managed to find a new Thai vehicle, an armored car constructed for the Wild Tiger Corps sometime during or before 1919. Apparently, it is equipped with a 45hp engine and a 37mm gun. At least three have been built from photo evidence.

The video I found this vehicle in suggests (through an image not closed captions) that the gun in question is a 1-pounder pom-pom, however, I do not see the resemblance. Rather, I believe it may be a Hotchkiss naval gun, which were in service with Siamese ground forces around the time this vehicle is said to have been built.

The car in the foreground of this image seems to sport a smaller gun, possibly an MG, which is evidenced by the obviously different opening that has been cut out for said gun. It could be a different vehicle entirely. Since we can see two other cars in the background, it is possible that one of the three only had an MG mounted, but we do not know for sure.

Type 10 w/ Camouflage net suggestion has this Anti-Drone suggestion iirc

Well in the suggestion it’s referred to as a “camo net” so I think it’s more for camouflage than any sort of protection against drones.

New Type 81 (C) gets the ARH missile too.

We’re so back.

Sometimes I feel we Japan tree main is quite easy to satified, giving some huge toys in a update already can keep our mouth shut for whole years😅

I’m still a little sad we got nothing for WW2 or early postwar, but F-2 and ARH Type 81 + radar is already more than I expected

but in the stream it was also 12.0 which was not very nice

I just hope this isn’t last update that Japan/Thailand get something in this year

We shall see, we might still get Thai subtree later this year.

Soooo now that Japan gets multi vehicle type81 can the normal one actually go to a reasonable BR??
11.3 is still left without anything after the double nerf -_-

Hope so

need radar lock

huh…
got into the dev server, the ARH Type 81 is not able to lock independently, it need to have the radar to make it to have a lock

collided

and they do explode when near/collide to each other


to be honest, the ARH is not really worth it at the current state.
especially when the radar vehicle is destroyed, it will kill all the launcher
the IR can works independently so we got the Type 81(C) with radar at 0.3BR higher


also since the launcher placed diagonally just like SLAMRAAM, you cannot put them behind cover and need to have line of sight to target, unlike Spyder and IRIS-T which goes up then maneuvering to target

Sorry I couldn’t watch the dev stream, does the Mitsubishi F-1 get the ASM-1?

Only F-2 at the moment.

Even if it got it, is not worth it.
