Also, any more information on this prototype Thai light tank? Mentioned on the 15-Tonnes Infantry Fighting Vehicle article by Tank Encyclopedia. I see the IFV was brought up in this thread a month ago, I am interested specifically in the tank prototype.
Apparently they were installed to keep interior cooler. They are asbestos after all.

Did some quick search. It seems like a copy of TAM hull design and slab M2 Browning and M60 innit

This is the 15-ton IFV, I am looking for its brother the 12-ton light tank, designed and built by the same company.
My three premium tank recommendations if anyone is planning to take advantage of the 30% discount:
Honorable mention (Not recommened):
You either love it or hate it. It can be the most broken thing for your enemy that day, or it could be the most expensive garbage you ever waste your money on. It all depends on two things: you as a player and the map RNG.

not really a vehicle in war thunder since this is just made for hobbies from the creator and do not exist in reallity, there is something more real than this tho.

Yeah I’m aware they are fictional, but they do resemble real life examples like the aforementioned Close Combat Vehicle or the future Light-Weight Combat Vehicle System (LCV).
Unlike the AMOS this 120mm mortar only uses one barrel rather than two, but it fulfills the similar role of a self-propelled Non-Line-Of-Sight and Line-Of-Sight artillery system that can be easily mobilized due to being based on a wheeled vehicle. I don’t know if this system is planned for the Type 16, although the graphics show a 6x6 vehicle rather than an 8x8 one.

hmmm wait a moment i believe i do have a pic of the type 16 using a mortar, i dont sadge there is already a type 16 with mortars but only 1 photo has been seen so far
Well I know there is the new Mortar Mobile Combat Vehicle (MMCV) that was revealed alongside the ICV, obviously this wouldn’t really work in-game at the moment. I haven’t heard of any new Type 16 variants though.
as for the variants we still yet to see at least 3 including ICV for what they have said
Indeed, there are 3 variants we have yet to see in prototype form. The ICV and MMCV were both revealed together, and the RCV a few months after. This would leave the MEV, CV, and MPV.
Unfortunately for War Thunder’s purposes none of these vehicles are of much use for the game.

I’ve found in some articles from Japan talking about the creation of a new IFV turret, it might have to do with this too

In regards to the Type 89 right?
No clue but might be aswell too, since there was a new Hull show with the type 89 turret
