General Japanese & Thai Ground Forces Discussion HQ

Meanwhile:

Hey Gaijin! The EF-2000 is supposed to have this high cruise speed at low altitude, here are official sources like the flight manual (ofc declassified) and manufacturer brochure.

Gaijin: That’s a blatant marketing lie. Not a bug. Anyway, here’s the Kh-38MT, this brochure says it’s this good so it must be true.

That, we really need independ bug checkers and not these Russian biased people.

Ok so what would a Thai ground subtree look like ideally?

Unique

IMO, the most important vehicles (which should represented) are following (roughly sorted by Rank);

  • Type 76, Porborkhor 105 Attajhon, FV101 Scorpion, V-150 (90), M41 (Stingray), M60A3 TIFCS, Stingray, BTR-3E1, BTR-3RK, T-84 BM Oplot-T

Ideally, these should also come as some gap fillers;

  • M163A1 TVADS, Type 51 (Starstreak), BTR-3E (CSE 90LP), M48A5PI, M425

Perhaps VL MICA, but not sure how to implement it…


Then there are also the meme and chinese origin tanks;

  • M60A3 TTS (WERA), Truck w/ M61A1, ATMOS 2000, CEASAR, VN-1, VT-4, Type 62, Type 69-II, Type 69-II (105), FK-3/HQ-22

Scorpion my beloved, though personally I want the M163 soooooo bad. The already bare bones 7.3/7.7 line ups really suffer with just the Sub-1-2, and it would work as a backup to the Type 87 at 8.3

it’s already listed

I don’t see a reason against it. Japan could get it via Thailand, China could get it via Pakistan. Everyone would be happy.

I do hope they add the Ukrainian and Chinese stuff like the VT-4 and VN-1 and dont lock them behind a paywall/event

IMO the T-84 BM Oplot-T is the most unique and important addition Thailand could bring to the table, followed by Stingray and lower-mid tier stuff, especially their own developments like Porborkhor 105 Attajhon and Type 76 (exclusive to Thailand).
While the other light and medium tanks, as well as BTRs could finally fill gaps, which have been a problem for years.

What could we likely expect from the Oplot? T-80UD with better thermals? Is there anything else? I am not really all that knowledgable in soviet-style tanks.

Pretty much, but very different armour.

Worse or better?

Uh I would say overall better or compareable, but useless once ERA layers are taken off.

Can’t forget an akcual reverse speed

Fun fact: Technical moderators are literally independent fron gaijin. Just like the other moderator positions they’re volunteers. So uh, yeah.

There is not point to play Type 81 (c) at 11.7, what they can do is so little to the matches, is just like bringing a dagger into a sword fight

I seconds this. I stopped using it ever since it was moved to 11.7, its unplayable there.
