here’s some more images of the 75mm AMX-13 in East Timor
AMX-13s of the Yonkav 8/Kostrad, before deployment to East Timor
Deployed around June 1976
More detailed look at “Limpung Alugoro” with the “sukarelawan (volunteers)” decal on the turret face

ABSOLUTELY HUGE FIND! Here are some very rare closer look of the M4A3s
Its definitely an E8, I think these images also shows its the 105mm version, but im not quite sure, can anyone confirm? Also is that Vickers as the roof mounted MG there?
for me it is the 105 because the gun its too big for 75, “bolty” bit beside gun mantlet, and the base end of barrel it looks like just big circular. for the MG i dont think thats vickers MG because the front end of barrel seems doesn’t have muzzelbrake / flat, i would say that MG is watercooled .50 cal / M2 MG.
I agree, and I think based on these images the late 75mm should be switched to the 105mm.
Switching the m4 would also help the tree since it would then be a rank 2 vehicle and not a rank 3, which has enough vehicles I think, and spreading the vehicles more evenly across the lower tiers
I also thought that it was an M1917 Browning, because the Marines service rifle back then was the .30-06 SAFN-49 and thus they have a common ammunition. Then I saw this photo of Indonesian Marines LVTs, which clearly showed them also using the Vickers MG

hey remember this? ^
Looks like its finished!
looks like the turret is the Dynateq 30mm Super Rogue RCWS with a slightly different configuration w/ smoke shells
Source:
nice, but is theres any specific gun they use ?, because its seems dynateq have 2 diff option for the gun, and from web description also probably their catalogue ? they offer 30mm Defa and 30mm Camgun.
source :
we dont know, considering the tank was revealed only just a few days ago and tbf the company themselves haven’t explicitly revealed this yet, it was shown by the government’s House of Representatives, so not a whole lot of information other than the basic ones we’ve already known
hell the turret could also be either Reutech or Dynateq, since they’re very similar (might even be the same).
although, theres a 99% chance we’ll get a better look at the specifications come January during the IndoDefence2025, since anything major would most likely be there (such as this).
see here: instagram
i think reutech and dynatech is the same company more likely the dynatech is company inside reutech group from catalogue description. but im not sure

heres another suggestion ( or not ) for low tier AA if you getting bored getting a truck with 50 cal how about a car with 50 cal
source:
also this will be off topic, because idk where i should put ( the aviation is closed, so i decided going to here ) and this could be unique vehicle. during seroja operation/ Indonesia invasion of timor, the airforce need another plane for ground attack / CAS role and the airforce decided to arm some of their available plane including grumman albatross, they equip albatross with 50 cal, bomb , and rocket. but there’s no more online detail about it ( i only know that its equip with 50 cal , and 4x 250 kg bomb), but there’s display plane at A.sulaksono museum that could be have more details about it
the source for this is in the “Operasi Udara di Timor Timur”, so quite a rare book.
the one in abd. Saleh AFB has some MK82s displayed alongside it
However the museum in Yogyakarta also has a singular UF-1 Albatross, this one is a part of the 5th air squadron the singular air force squadron that operates it. The display plaque only mention torpedoes and rockets, and i dont see any gun mounting for the machine guns, maybe the holes on the wing near the engine could be the gun placement, but again not sure.

But i think its not really needed since with its speed and size it would be a bomber trying to fulfill a striker role, and considering for the lower ranks we already have a good option for both of those types (T-6G/AT-16, Guntei, B-25J, Catalina)
so what i found rn, theres half detail information photo in the recent google map review of that museum ( wich i cant show you in here, cause someone is blocking the information), another information that someone from fb says that airforce have / show a photo about the mg but they show it in their hangar? during 80s.
well despite others low rank plane, i think we could still reconsider it, cause not many albatross really equip with cas/ ground attack armament and b4 someone say " An0tHer C0py P4stE "
sure, its just the information we have is extremely limited, it could also be similar to the AC47 Dakota gunship that we have where the brownings are side-mounted, again we dont know
seems fairly interesting for a low tier vehicle so ill put this here, can anyone ID this vehicle?
the gun im pretty sure its a 7.7mm Type89 dual Flexible mount commonly found on Aircrafts, but the vehicle itself i have no clue what it is
Looks like a Morris C8 Mk II/III artillery tractor to me, probably captured from the Dutch forces
+1, it sure have a lot of copy paste but at least it got original vehicle too, tough i don’t really mind the “copy paste” Vehicle cuz a lot of tech tree in the game are worse with only having one unique vehicle and same vehicle from the origin country without any difference, example: finland. And the indonesian tech tree could fill the Japanese ground tech tree, why japan? Because of Indonesian history with japan during WW2 and Japanese tree are pretty empty unlike the other tech tree.
some footage of the DM53A1 (and DM98 TPCSDS) for the 2RI
Slight difference of propellant for the A1 compared to the standard DM53
