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.

Solid choice
Looking back at thai VT-4, I caught myself on the idea of whether this tank is end-of-the-line material. I mean, according to suggestion, it gets worse engine (1200hp vs 1300hp) and theoretically worse ERA from visual examination (FY-2 vs FY-4) than VT-4A1 while also not having an APS. I don’t know whether Thais have more powerful DTC10-125 (125-III) APFSDS in service or less powerful export BTA4 (125-II), which would also affect total efficiency and BR.
Not pointing at anything, but if thai ground forces are to come to the game, maybe VT-4 should be a… premium material for 11.7 with its downgardes just like T-80U-E1?
At the end of the day, it is up to devs to manipulate things, but making it a premium option might also reduce the beloved controversy around chinese vehicles in japanese tt (I’d also like Type 90 “Fuji” be removed from sales, but that shall be a different discussion)

It’s been well known for a long time a Thai VT-4 wouldn’t be 12.0, probably more like 11.0/11.3, the capstone of a Thai ground would probably be the Oplot-T, depending on ammunition.

Isn’t a matter of China not getting it. China could get it directly without Pakistan or any third party nation.
It’s the matter of Japan getting it. I don’t mind it personally, but that’s the ‘reason against it’.

Tbh the vt4 legit is kinda mid already its gonna be worse with the possible addition of the thai one
It’ll make such a good addition to my 7.3 lineup.

Gaijin been sleeping on these for too long now. I understand it’s not as easy as giving France some copypasta Leos, but come on.
2nd gen thermals, 32 kilometer per hour reverse speed, Varta soft kill APS (Ukrainian produced Shtora), Duplet-2M ERA (would be the best in the game), and would probably use Chinese improved APFSDS.
I bring the Type 16 to top tier and do okay enough, the VT-4 will certainly be an upgrade over it
Not having a proper top tier light tank and having to take the Type 16 instead really upsets me tho. If only we got something like the MMPM (Chuta), it would be a great scout and flanker.

There’s also a Type 16 with autoloader we could get. And Japan is developing a new 105mm APFSDS round.

I noticed ther radar arm doesn’t have a hitbox. While it is certainly menefitial to the player using it, it can be frustrating for an enemy who loaded some big HE only to see the shell fly right through. Should I report it?
Even if it gets reported it’ll be low priority and take 6 months to a few years to see. T72’s still dont have their turret hatches modeled and gaijin has admitted its not worth modeling the top of some of them iirc.
But this isn’t just T-72’s iirc a lot of tanks dont have them, its just i remember someone mentioning it specifically about the T series.
I doubt we’d see it get changed realistically.
What even counts as high priority? I’d say fixing a barely working machine like the Tan-SAM kai or SPYDER is, but Gaijin apparently doesn’t.
Are there any versions of the Type 10 left to add that are top tier worthy, only being able to spawn 2 MBTs at top tier just sucks. (Apart from the RCWS/APS one)
I think Japan might have the worst top tier lineup in the game, when it comes to what you can spawn
Hopefuly we won’t have to wait too long for the Thai subtree, T-84 could somewhat fix the issue you mentioned. Tho we still would be missing a top tier light tank.
