I know they would come to japan, but has gaijin said something to the likes of “The thai ground subtree [for japan] is definitely coming”?

Not that I’m aware of, but there was a leak last year about some ASEAN vehicles for Japan, including Thai vehicles.
This wasn’t enough for a full subtree of Thai vehicles alone, since there was also Indonesian and Singaporean vehicles though.
Making more Thai vehicles could take quite a bit of time, so if this is what they’re going for my guess is the second half of this year unless they already had more Thai vehicles in the works than we know.
If they go for more ASEAN nations it might be quicker, considering the age of the leak by now. Obviously Thailand Indonesia and Singapore might as well be done already, though it is possible with the semi-recent controversy they would skip Singapore.
If they do exclude Singapore we could expect them to remake roughly a third of this subtree, most likely with more Thai and Indonesian vehicles since the next least controversial option in the Philippines doesn’t really have comparable vehicles to what Singapore would’ve likely added.
But all of those are just guesses, who knows what Gaijin’s really up to.

What may we get form next update? looks German will get IRIS-T, China get there version 25mm with missle aa, what Japan may add into game?
at least they say will have a new jet in JP, hope is a strong enough F-2…
For Japan, the only thing that would make sense is the Type 11 Tan-SAM Kai II. The only other mobile AA system is Type 03 Chu-SAM, but I don’t think we will get SAMs with 50+km range any time soon.

Thai VL MICA and Singaporean SPYDER-SR are also options with less than 50km range.

Ares, I know you’re knowledgeable when it comes to all sorts of military machinery, so could you explain to me how exactly does the Type 11 work? Some sources say it is inertial with terminal IR, but fe. your suggestion says it’s ARH. I’d like to finally know. :D
It is ARH only, there isn’t IR version of Type 11 missiles

Does that mean heli campers are immune?
you fools think the type 11 will ever get added but in reality gaijin will just keep moving up the type 81 forever to pretend japan has a top tier AA

isnt there an ARH missile for the type 81 in the files…

There is.
Gaijin originally said it wasn’t added because it can’t be used independently without FCS vehicle. Then what it was proven that it can I think they said it was too powerful and since then we’ve been waiting for it.
It’d be interesting to see soon hopefully. We already have longer ranged missiles than the 14km of the SAM-1C ARH, so the only new thing would be to wonder how they model PESA ARH.
I just hope they don’t leave us stuck with only the lightwave missile for another year because their statistics say Type 81 overperforms…

we could maybe get the upgraded Type 89 FV with Type 01 LMAT’s as the Type 79 ATGM stockpile is effectively 0 now
maybe even Komatsu LAV/Type 96 APC with Type 01 LMAT

Another case of gaijin just outright denying japan stuff, and then immediately contradicts themselves

I think at a rank of 10.7 for the Type 01 LMAT’s would be fair as, they effectively have no defence (Excluding Type 89 FV) but fire and forget through a single launcher

How superior would the Type 11 be compared to the Type 81c with it’s ARH missile? Im fine with the Type 81c being 12.0 with its new ARH missile (and also the ability to switch between IR and ARH missiles depenending on the situation)
Until you remember the Freccia is 10.7 with 8 Spikes and a fantastic autocannon for defending itself
Freccia having an autocannon.
Komatsu LAV having 0 autocannon, and Type 96APC with the Type 01 LMAT having only a single 50cal to defend itself
