Indonesian Sub-tree: Bhinneka Tunggal Ika!

here’s another low tier tank that probably can be add if we found more details history of it.

from Een buitgemaakte Japanse 95 Ha-Go lichte tank in gebruik bij het Nederlandse leger | Nationaal Archief
in detail photo it says that dutch use captured type 95 hago ( which is wrong is type 87 I-go) in dutch east indies / Indonesia circa 1946.

my speculation is possibly type 87 i go is being use by Indonesian army also.

also another vehicle that can be add on rank II is BM 14/17

What were they cooking putting it so low like that lmao

well idk why they putting low like that, and quick little update for history type 89 tank sorry not the type 87 that NL / KNIL use.
from what i understand is they capture from japan after WW II , manage to use few of them, and i only trace 3 type 89 tank as " friesland" 1-9 RI, “watermannen” 1-3 RI that latter transformed into forklift?, and the last one is probably as dummy target.
all those tank stationed in west java area at that time, and i assume their HQ is in Opleidingscentrum Der Pantser Troepen Bandung, after dutch NL left from Indonesia the place using by Indonesian army as cavalry training school and cavalry weapon Center. i still dont know more details from indonesia side about this tank but in wiki says theres surviving type 89 in Indonesia cavalry training school.

I was actually the one that edited that part in, sourced from the Surviving Panzers website.

I remember looking around in Google Maps street view but could not see anything, perhaps it is nestled among the buildings.

Ooh, nice job. The tank does appear to be “rearmed” with a 6-pdr in place of the rear machine gun rather than say, a pipe, but it’s probably for decoration as the turret is much too small to house both the breach and accompanying gunner.

clearer image of the DShK on the PT-76 with its tripod stand welded onto the turret as well as fuel drums (i think) on top of the hull

i know theres probably quite a few of photographs like these that are just sitting in some museums out there and arent published online, which is quite annoying

Photos of Indonesian Humber are indeed rare (at least online).
I’ve found some photos of Indonesian Humber AC serving as security details during the visit of Indian PM Jawaharlal Nehru on 12 June 1950 (from the collection of National Library, via Facebook page “KERIS reborn”)

More images of the DShK mount on the PT-76B, from the 1976 Indonesian movie Semoga Kau Kembali.

From that source there is an alternative angle for the humber

also apologies its not the humfox, its actually the humber (humber has those tow rings on the hull’s side near the fenders). I’m still searching for an actual humfox photo, because currently the only image i know is just the monument that i mentioned before:

actual humfox

EDIT: Finally found what looks like a humfox in a 1953 Indonesian Independence Anniversary defile

no ring hook

Keep it up brother, recently i heard about the Harimau MT only get DM33 and not DM63 even though it is the same as Boxer MGS turret and gun.

It does use M1057 training rounds, so it probably uses the live M1060 in some capacity as well. Likely the M1060CV specifically for the Cockerill 3105 turret

I think it would fit best for a Japanese Sub-Tree, since they will complement each other and China already has other nations that could contribute to it’s tree.

forgot to put it here, but PT-76 MLRS suggestion is up, feel free to check it out o7

quick question, aren’t badak and anoa fsv is a same thing ? like what i understand, development program for anoa with 90 mm cannon / firing support capabilities is called badak right ? or they have literally anoa APC with 90 mm cannon

it was literally just an anoa APS-3 that they slightly modified then slapped a scorpion 90 turret on lol

but there were some differences, the obvious one is that the scorpion cant fire apfsds while the badak can, and the overall hull layout is different

Anoa fsv on the top, badak on the bottom
image

on the anoa the engine is closer to the middle, whereas in the badak it sits beside the driver as well as some mechanical changes to the engine and suspension, etc.

but cant blame ya since the hull look virtually identical
