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.

LOL, when is this ad published? I don’t think the Type 61 met the “Highest quality in the world”, isn’t it already outdated since it being designed?😅
‘Be a warrior of the highest quality’ ahh ads
The picture shows a STA 3 prototype meaning the Type 61 did not exist yet at the time so this picture is most likely during the development of Type 61 tank somewhere in late 1950s since the ST-A 3 had been completed.
Next update is about to be released, and this is all changes to the new ground vehicles coming to Japan in update Ninth Wave.

Since there was no change to the Ho-Ni II gun depression so it means we will unfortunately get the Ho-Ni II with only -10 degree of gun depression (No bug report ever made on this matter)…
Where are those people that like to uploading documents on Japanese vehicles when you need them ?

Would not be surprised if we are getting that version too later this year.
