In anticipation of the upcoming official announcement of the Pakistan subtree

Okay boys, its official.
Previously, Pakistani vehicles have only been added as Premiums and Event vehicles.

The current list of Pakstani vehicles in game is as follows:

  • Al Khalid-I
  • A-5C
  • Mi-35M
  • T-80UD/DU-1
  • JF-17A (Block 1)

There is a noticable lack of Pakistani vehicles in the researchable tech tree. Hence I would like to post this as an advertisement of what Pakistan can really contribute to China in game.

BEHOLD

If we are to assume there would be 1 line only,
Then we can start putting up suggestions for the best, most contributing options. Here’s my pick:

Ground

I’d like to see the Baktar Shikan box too, it’s odd to me that we still don’t have a ground vehicle that uses HJ-8s.

Spoiler

I’m also really hoping that if the Pakistani subtree gets an M48A5, it gets M833, it’d be interesting to play without the stabilizer but having that excellent firepower.

theres news of a new Baktar shikan which is an IR guided ATGM. so it could prove like a ground launched PARS considering how hard TOWS and HJ-8s (closest comparable ATGM) perform.

tbf it would be kinda like the one in the german tree with the L7 lol

Sweet! We could get two variants then possibly. Maybe they’ll even mount the new IR-guided one on the Viper IFV.

My thoughts as well, it’d probably be a slightly higher battle rating, but that’s a worthy trade off.

i recently got the opportunity to almost jump inside a derelict PA M-47 patton. I made sure to take a pic of the certified ammunition and this here is it:

Do we have a chance to get it?

The Oplot-P shall rise!!
PS. thanks for reminding. i can add this to the list

Tbh the PLA has better alternatives to this and the M113/CM-25 already fill the role of the APC single missile carrier, it would be cool to see it as a second reward on an event though
What alternatives you may wonder:
Img219674353
ZBF-89(already suggested) with 4 × HJ-8s it would be similar to the AFT-09
There was also another similar vehicle to this made in the same hull as the AFT and one prototype made in the Brazilian Piranha(Piraña in spanish) but of course all of this required actual effort to research which got adressed in the announcement from yesterday

Is there more information about Pakistan’s AML60-20? For example, how was it acquired? The model of the 20mm automatic cannon used, the ammunition it uses, and its rate of fire.

i beleive thats an older picture of the proposed tree since we later found out its an AML-60-12

only 5 of these vehicles were purchased for airfield defense

If I can get the JF17 without the miserable squadron vehicle grind, I’m happy!

As Chinese naval is always on list of ‘what would be next naval’, Pakistani would be a great help on naval. Actually, based on current Gaijin’s stands on 'naval would be limited to early to middle cold war ship with no FNF AShM, Pakistani ships would have bigger proportion of tree than China itself especially on bluewater.

plus all aspect MAWS. me like!

yep. i once made a list of Pakistan navy ships that can be added.
lemme see if i still have it

here you go

I’m definitely aware, trust me! I made the suggestion for the ZDF89, as well as its prototype. But since this thread is related to Pakistan, I included a Pakistani vehicle. There’s plenty of HJ-8 carriers that could be added on top of that, including ones mounted on the BJ212 jeep or vehicles with the SW1 turret carrying four HJ-8s and a 30 mm autocannon.

There is no precedent of trial’d vehicles coming to sub-trees.
And Gaijin even stated previously that trial’d vehicles are considered for home tech trees, which is why Mi-28A and T-80U are in Sweden.

And you say this because??

Oplot was mentioned in the post.

That specific oplot is purpose made for pakistan.
The Oplot P.
Unless you mean the oplot M which was also trialled and rejected.
In which case, my bad.

T80UD/BE-1?(T-80UD body+Oplot turret without ERA)
