Does it really? I primarily play AB so my opinion may vary but both the Zachlam Tager and Ratel 20 (even when just using the ATGM to engage targets) are leagues better IMO.
Yeah, they’re better because they can actually be used at close-ranges. Both of their missiles fire almost flat from horizontal rather than being launched at an angle than as the Type 64 is. Both the Milan and the SS.11 are also a lot faster than the Type 64, so neither of them need to expose themselves anywhere near as long as the Type 60 ATM. Since AB provides automatic spotting, this makes the Type 60 ATM just a death trap in comparison.
I was referring more to RB. I wouldn’t even bother taking the Type 60 ATM out in AB for the the above reasons. The Tager is outright better than the Type 60 ATM as an ATGM carrier, except in regard in protecting against rifle-caliber strafing, but the Ratel is a bit more meh in comparison, albeit it still can peak over hills if the player using it knows to switch to the ATGM as their primary weapon to take advantage of its scope.
Right, but you were saying that the Type 60 ATM “excels” over the other 6.7 ATGM carriers. To me it seems like it might be one of the worst we could possibly get, seeing as how even the Canadian and American M113 SS.11 prototypes at least have direct launch angles and weapon traverse.
Well I wasn’t assuming you were talking about AB, and none of the M113 SS.11 are in-game so they’re irrelevant.
Bro you are aware that the M24 is so good of a LT that you can tier it up 3 whole levels and still do well in it. As for the Type-60 & the Type-64 No, the Type-60 ATM is not the worst of it’s kind, that dishonour goes to the HKP3C. I know that’s a heil and not an ATGM carrying APC but i still count it since they both use early MCLOS ATGM’s. The Type-60 is not the best either. I personally find the Zachlam Tager to be better out of the 3 mentioned even if it’s on a way worse chassis and lacks a 50.cal.
The Type-60 ATM is fine for what it is, you just have to be patient with it. The fact that the missile is not only incapable of firing directly forwards but also it’s delay is it’s biggest drawback. Outside of that the Type-64 is a potent ATGM. The M24 ATM will also be fine around the same BR as the Type-60 ATM since the 75mm can still do damage against most tanks that aren’t heavy tanks.

That would be an interesting vehicle. It’s much more low-profile
I usually only need one missile to destroy vehicles with the Type 60, even heavy tanks. I sometimes take it into higher BR matches because the MCLOS can’t be jammed

Would, but ammo capacity will be even lower.
Now that the Pantsir can select mixed missile loadouts, here is an updated report so the Tan-SAM Kai can finally do it too. This was first reported nine months ago when Tan-SAM Kai was added, but we only got a stopgap “fix” that let you start a reload when switching missiles instead of making loadouts.
Tan-SAM normal loadout

Might be implemented in four years with an uptier on fix release

Yup, sounds about accurate.

Best tankette of WW2, in terms of performance and looks
The bright green used by the STAs and the STB is fictional, right? I can’t find anything about them using anything but regular olive drab.
Some vehicles are given fake camos either cause snail doesn’t care or they need to fill out a specific camo slot when they don’t have something available. Like desert and winter, likely just added to have more options rather than accuracy.
I know that, but I’m editing the camo names and can’t figure out if some of them are real or not.
The camo may be real but likely not for that vehicle. Finnish WW2 tanks for example have winter camos irl but use the swedish camos.
Likely these either use a camo older than the vehicle or a camo that was used only on another vehicle.
The only colored photograph of the ST-A tank i know of.
Seems like just standard OD green to me.
There are also those color pictures of ST-A 2B that i’m sure you have seen already but i think that tank had been repainted.

My beloved BTR-3E1…
It seems every single Thai ground vehicle except M60 and M163 getting its unique camouflage.

Talking of camouflage i was looking for the Thai marine version of the BTR because their camo looks different, i wanted to make a suggestion for a skin but it is really difficult to find decent photo of the RTMC version for some reason.

Honestly I hope they go back and do this to other tanks, just that extra bit of unique flair really makes a tank stand out imo.
