I looked it up the photography style was definitely taken by a newspaper with some sort of fisheye lens or something.

Would be great to have in game as a SPAA also does it have any AP round.
Looking at Chaiseri they have many special vehicles I hope we get them in game.
Like this car would be great for infantry

I’m going to cry man. Only a turret basket nerf???
It is M230LF which uses same rounds as Apache so as AP it uses HEAT from AH-64 with 51mm penetration
But it has lower fire rate - 200 RPM
holy crack… is it joever?
no just dont get hit you know like before
Still viable especially if it can get that time fuse ammo that is new for anti-drone work
It doesn’t have time fuse ammo but HE-VT one

Before you could maybe tank a hit, now definitely not
Better would be a great suggestion.
Nah it only has HE-DP
It uses 30x113 mm chain gun or Northrop Grumman M230LF Bushmaster, a ground based version of the Apache’s main gun so its primary ammunition against ground targets is M789 High Explosive Dual Purpose (HEDP) with 51mm pen at pointblank in the game.
But as a drone hunting vehicle or SPAAG it will be using the XM1211 Proximity (High Explosive).
A specialized round designed for Counter-UAS (drone hunting) . It uses a sensor to detonate near a target, making it highly effective against small, fast-moving drones.
Could definitely be something we could use to fill upp the SPAA branch.
Let me know what those four radar things on each side are if you do know. They also appear to have different shape than the one that shown during Cobra Gold which are rounded rather than square shaped
Anyway, the Ho-Ni I got one extra crew putting a total crew member to four like Ho-Ni II.

Insane amount of firepower from Thai BTR-3E1.

I’m doomed… It is realistic.
at least more than for Leo’s that almost only have an empty metal basket.
I wonder how much time we’ll need to see a buff for NATO tanks, and I don’t even think we’ll get something as that for ex-USSR tanks.

Royal Thai Army and U.S. Army launch “Hanuman Guardian 2026”(Mar 9–20). About 1,000 U.S. troops are training with the Royal Thai Army, and 17 Stryker armored vehicles will be transferred to Thailand after the exercise.

The problem is that Gajin is just looking for any excuse to nerf NATO/Western tanks. Damage to the turret basket doesn’t disable traverse, unless the motor or gearing itself is damaged

Yeah, I really don’t like how they do the new modules. They’re nothing more than an unrealistically big target for spall to hit in a damage model that is already unrealistically empty and suitable for spall to spread.
Instead the module should probably be split into multiple parts, the actuators that are actually part of the turret drive and vital to it functioning and the basket itself that should provide an additional obstacle for some spall to catch on. Also when there’s backups they should be separate, we don’t need an “FCS” type situation where the entire control for the gunner is also taken out because the commanders screen (that should be optics, not FCS anyways) was hit.
