Personally I want to see wheeled SPAAGs soon, and wheeled tank destroyers. I’d prefer the MCV chassis, but AMV XP is good too

Again depends on if Japan puts anything aside from protector rcws

Until then I don’t see a reason to add a currently Finnish exclusive vehicle to Japan unless that’s not what you’re suggesting then I apologize. I only know that Japan so far only has the Kongsberg Protector RCWS on their Patrias and nothing else

I meant irl

Honestly depending on how infantry goes even a APC with just a 50 cal can be super dangerous. I honestly want vehicles like that for infantry if we get bigger maps tbh

I also want stryker with 50 cal apc

No more Indonesian vehicles this update according to Smin, sadge

Was mentioned we’d be getting “some” including the 2RI in the Community Update, but plans change (sadly)

Disappointing as hell ngl, Japan has plenty of top BR MBTs at this point (Type 10 + TKX (s) + Oplot-T), What it really needs is light tanks and support vehicles at most BRs outside of like 9.0-9.7. Indonesia could have plugged so many gaps (Harimeow at 10.7-11.3, AMX-13-105 at 8.0, Scorpion 90/Badak at 8.3 or 8.7 etc)

Guess I’ll wallow in depression in the corner

Without words…

Hopefully this means they’ll add even more later, I’d really love it if they actually bring a 10.7 BR lineup to Japan which it desperately needs with that 9.7 - 11.7 BR gap, plus other things. The real epic move would bring the rest of Indonesian ground vehicles in bulk + air branch in R2Y2 line, I would cream. It’s too optimistic though. By the way which rounds does the Harimau use? It looks like a nice 10.7 vehicle.

Standard Belgian 105mm export rounds afaik, probably more 11.3 range if it comes with those, (M1060CV is a spicy round). But knowing Gaijin it’ll be the standard selection of DM33/DM63 etc at 10.3ish like the CV90105, Patria CT-CV, & Boxer MGS.

The confirmed ones are M393A3-E HEP and M1057 TPFSDS, and possibly M1060A2 APFSDS. I’m sure they’ll just give it DM23 and DM33 like always though.

Thanks for the info, both of you, good to know, I’m more knowledgeable about aircraft than tanks.

50 indonesian vehicles next update /s

I really don’t liks when they do that, sometimes it doesn’t even make sense why they pick certain ammunition over historical selections.

For example the Thai Stingray used M735 and M426 that would be perfect for it in game, but Gaijin changed it to C76A1 and DM33 instead. It’s really not even a significant enough performance difference to justify the change.

Next update iirc was said to be two vehicles, I’d say Harimau is a pretty safe bet and the other could be something like a Badak or AMX-13 variant.

Really seems like they’re taking their time with Indonesian additions. I just hope they actually use that time to work out potential issues before release instead of how they handled Thailand.

i really wish we have light tank at rank 8 this update to be honest. don’t get me wrong, an armored tank is a welcoming changes to the line-up(looking at you Oplot-T). but i prefer a LT that can reduce SP of Su-30MKM so i can launch Kh-38MTE at BMPT abomination.
