But I also fear that the addition of the Type 03 Chu-SAM, or even the kai variant, wouldn’t be good enough. mach 2.5 or 3 ARH missile would be too slow to get to the target before it goes evasive.

Please give japan thai mica vl…
AGM-114L is vastly superior to all of those.

Would be a nice upgrade for the new top tier environment
needing a sustained lock for an extended period of time when an iris-T or any other AA to find you and send you straight back to the hangar
even that would be a bit too low compared to current spaa
Eh depends on if gaijin decides to implement it correctly. Right now 3 nations could get MICA VL. Spuld be better than what those nations have currently.
Yeh but problem is the MICA would be a bit lower in range to what we have now… a bit ago yeh but now launch range has broken 100k Type 03 Chu-SAM would be the next best thing
Whats its range cause still means its likely better than the 8km one nation has lol
50k
Yeah then its still better than most of our SPAA lol. Some nations would take anything that could hut at 15km lol. They really need to adress SPAA again.
does have a AESA seeker lol
I heard about Thailand (Japan TT) and France but who is 3rd MICA VL owner?
Denmark

I mean we just had a leak for the first vehicle for an update that isn’t even out yet. With the focus on Thai ground for Japan this update, I doubt we are going to see anything that hasn’t already been leaked, so the Mi-35P is probably it for this update for ID vehiclese. In the future though, I think we will see a lot more Indonesian vehicles, but we will have to see in what form.
From worst to best case scenario:
- Norway style: Relegated to a couple premiums and event vehicles that really restricts the number of vehicles we could see
- India/Denmark style: Mostly premium or event vehicles, but the occasional TT addition to fill major holes.
- Benelux (specifically air) style: We get a mixed nation line across all tiers to fill in lineups
Number 3 is obviously the most ideal as Indonesia probably has an equal amount if not more vehicles that could be added as Thailand with a lot more domestic additions too. With the Mi-35P being a TT vehicle and not really a gap filler it also has me a little confident that we will see more regular tree additions than just the occasional premium. Add onto it that Thailand is going to be it’s own separate line in the tree which allows it to become an actual ASEAN line rather than just seeing misc vehicles scattered through the TT. I also hope we see something similar for the air TT with the single and multi engine bombers being consolidated into a single line opening up TH/ID to be it’s own line in the air TT.

Part of me is slightly worried there’s gonna give Indonesia the India treatment, but at the same time Indonesia operates Scorpion 90, so the CVRT lover in me is somewhat desperate for it ngl.

For air there’s a line empty from rank 3 onwards directly after the B7A2 since the R2Y2s were removed. That’s pretty much the ideal point for Indonesia to catch on.
For ground I’d say a BeNeLux style line for TH / ID seems most likely.
There are still early enough vehicles like the Cavalier Mustang II that would make the jump from the B7A2 a little jarring. If you throw in things like the Thai Hawk 75N or ID NU-22Xs it makes it feel even more strange. I think its pretty easy to move over the single engine bombers as the B7A2 is really the only big outlier of a single engine bomber being higher than many of the twin engine bombers.
I think there are a handful enough of domestic TH/ID planes to fill up the early ranks instead of just putting a bunch of fighters after a line of dive bombers. It would also fix the current situation where the heavy fighter/interceptor line ends in some of the smallest and lightest 3rd and 4th gen jets/ground attackers. It’s a 180 switch in roles.
