Great news everyone!

EDIT: the “one more tank” SHOULD be T-84 Oplot, really the only one that would be significant enough to warrant leaving it as a surprise for later

Sell whole Thai subtree for one MMPM

No BTRs sadly. Nice to see Oplot actually being the top of the line (pitty VT-4 was confirmed by Smin to not arrive this update) and some gap fillers like M163 (even if it is just the regular one for 7.3, finally my overpow- cough, tech tree Ho-Ri might have some cover from pesky CAS)

hope the oplot has the top chinese round tbh

I hope they take the opportunity to make a replacement premium into a way to confirm Indonesia. An Indonesian Leopard 2A4 is an easy to make premium for Gaijin that can pave the way for far more interesting Indonesian vehicles in the future.

I want the Stingray and M163 too much for that…

But someone says, Indonesia can go to China tree with Singapore.And lots of Chinese agree with this.

At the same time someone says Indonesia can go to Japan with Thailand and maybe the Philippines, and lots of Indonesians agree with this.

I think China has better options like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Laos, Myanmar, maybe Iran or North Korea if you want to push it. Even Malaysia doesn’t seem entirely impossible.

Singapore I feel like will probably end up as a subtree for Israel, China is too controversial and Japan lacks solid connection to Singapore.

I agree with you ,Indonesia and China has weak connection. It is unreasonable for it to become a Chinese subtree

I have a question ,what the T84 BR will be ?

I’m guessing 11.3 with historical 3BM42, higher if it gets better rounds. The firepower is really the main thing holding it back.

If they actually go for Indonesian Leo 2A4 this update I’d say japanese tt shall eat very well not only this update but the following. Japan in WT is on such a life support, prob like Italy and Israel, for domestic (or literally any) designs for air and ground. Japan gets like 1/2 or 3/4 of the update made of boats (not discrediting naval tho, just comparing to other nations), and Thai + Indonesian vehicles coming this update may confirm upcoming updates for Japan to include vehicles from the said nations. Just hoping devs won’t gatekeep all unique vehicles (like BTR-3s) behind paywall or limited time event.

yeah… i don’t
if they can boycott a vehicle that in Thai service that’s a subTT of japan (which is pretty solid justification btw)
why on earth Indonesian could go to China when we mostly only do trade and military training, which btw, we do it to most of our neighbor too

like wtf? even Netherlands got way better justification than China.
so yeah they can kiss my bum-hole

Within the ASEAN Founders, the ones with the strongest links is TH, PH, and ID - it will not be as cracked as if its together with Malaysia and Singapore but it will bring some uniqueness to the subtree (Harimau, Sabrah, Badak, etc.)

Personally I feel like with Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines seem like an ideal combination.

There’s enough content to fix the main issues and keep the future interesting, but also enough space for these three nations to have their own identity in the tree right now which was always the issue with bigger subtree ideas.
