I know this is the ground discussion but Japan can finally have a post war cruiser in RI Irian thanks to Indonesia

The Rapid Ranger would indeed fill a hole in the tree thats really in need to be filled - generally Indonesia would be a great pick in addition to Thailand.

I mean they could also give it Martlets whenever those get added for fixed wing stuff, (Though if you’re under 45-50 ping it’s not nearly as bad as some make out).
🎉 Indonesian Scorp 90s wooooo 🎉
That’s three Scorps now!
Th - Scorpion 76, Type 21
Indonesian - Scorp 90
Shame Indonesia didn’t go for the Stormer IFVs, only the base APC variant.

Lol have you seen Italy? Hungary, Romania, Brazil, Spain
TBF, Brazil and Spain are one offs (especially since both Italy and Brazil worked on the AMX) meanwhile Japan recently got 2 nations with varied equipment and the UK has 2 subtrees and repeat Canadian and Australian appearances (as well as New Zealand to a much smaller extent)
Was there a shi-ki command tank early and late variants? Or atlest late and early hulls?
Think that’s what he means by a new discussion thread, as this is “Japanese” and “Thai” Ground forces.

The 14th Tank Regiment used captured M3A1 Stuaks during the Battle of Imphal.
Is this a actual M3A1?
What I-Go variant is this?
What’s the round thing to the side of the chi ha’s turret?
Does anyone know what these tanks are or are they still unknow?
Same hill I think
Odd looking chi ha kai. The turret is too smooth and copula at the top is a semisphere.
What tank is this?

These are almost certainly just Chi-Ha that have been heavily edited by a censor to the point where their appearance is unrecognizable. Looking at the suspension, which may be the only part not significantly altered, it seems pretty apparent that they’re just Chi-Ha.
This is a normal Chi-Ha Kai, where incorrect shapes have been drawn in for the rear of the turret and hull because they blended into the sky in the original photograph.

I’ve noticed one turret is mounted more to the right than the other. And it doesn’t match the chi ha prototype 2 (ignore the suspension because it was tested later). If I had to guess it might have been a competition between 2 companies (first prototypes) on who would get the production run. Something similar with gm and chrysler like with the xm1.
I guess that could be it atlest the right side of the hull and turret. But it still doesn’t explain the copula shape it’s just too detailed around that area.
And I found this recently.
I originally thought it was the ho ni and nothing much about it. But it doesn’t really match the gun shields. Like for example the corner between the back part and the roof has the slope/cut on the ho ni 1 and 2 production but it’s not there. I thought it was the ho ni 2 prototype which also didn’t match the turret shield on the back is a triangle shape sloping up to the roof and the width is sorter roughly like the ho ni 1 prototype. Just wish the box wasn’t on the way.
Photos for comparison:
Ho ni 1/2
Ho ni 1 prototype
Ho ni 2 prototype

As @_qaz already mentioned, I think analyzing the appearance is virtually meaningless since this photo seems to have had drawings added over it. The upper hull, in particular, looks as if most of it has been retouched with drawings. Of course, this vehicle could be a new one, but to determine that with certainty we would need other sources, not such an unreliable photo.
The cupola was also drawn over—more precisely, part of the cupola was redrawn. If you look at the original photo, you can see that there is nothing unusual about the cupola.

This is the production model of the Ho-Ro. You can easily recognize it by the rear ammunition storage.
