General Japanese, Thai & Indonesian Ground Forces Discussion HQ

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.

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.

So, why BTR-3 can’t track air targets? Don’t have track system?

It has a sight system called “Track”, but no mention of target tracking iirc. I tried to make a bug report a while back but couldn’t find anything about target tracking.

That, and also more competitive IFVs

Going to be grinding out the Su-30MKM anything I should know? The hornet was rough with the radar being garbage. (F-2A was such a treat)

Yeah, same, only was mentioned about helicopters

Also, I now looking on specification on “Army Guide” website and there mentioned that it’s -5/45 for Shturm (module), not -4/60
