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

tbf if we look at the full list of vehicles theres quite a lot of domestic and unique variants for Indonesia
here’s the ratio of vehicles:
Copy Paste: 17
Unique Variants of standard vehicles: 16
Domestic Design: 17
so I would say relatively its not too bad, but Indonesia being combined with other nations (like an ASEAN founding members) is the best option i think

I personally really want to see the Harimau, Badak variants, and Cobra which are among the few purely domestic designs found in ASEAN and are not just unique modifications.

I agree, it would be nice if Indonesian tech tree is combined with asean. Because it feels too big to be combined with the Japanese tech tree. But we do still a sub tech tree to fill the Japanese tech tree. cuz my only problem while playing with Japanese tree is i don’t feel like the Japanese had enough vehicle on it’s tech tree, It just feel empty and have a potential to be filled with some vehicles from other country.

I too agree, Indonesia has a decent amount to offer but would definitely be better off as a major contributor in an ASEAN tree.
And Thailand will be an upcoming subtree for Japan ground, it’s just a matter of how badly Gaijin butchers it lol

Here’s another potential addition, the P6 ATAV: It’s essentially Indonesia’s answer to the VLEGA Gaucho. It uses either a 7mm Minigun or a 50.cal RCWS as the primary weapon. It can also mount LGR’s shown below. Also there are references of it using ATGM’s and AAM’s, which exact ones idk other than it can use them if the situation calls for it

the turret of the P8 was also recently fitted with a rocket pod, seems quite modular
not putting the image here just in case, you can check yourself on twitter though
they were planning on an MLRS SAM system for the tank as well, hopefully itll be revealed in June during IndoDefence

found some footage of the Army’s Alvis Saladin (pre-retrofit w/ foliage camo) firing & maneuvering during an exercise in the 2000s.
footage(s)
there are also other Alvis vehicles used in the exercise, such as the Stormer APC & AVLB as well as the FV Scorpion

Humber MK.4 Modification?
the standout thing is obviously the roof MG , is it a Vickers or a Browning? (honestly I cant visually tell the difference between the two)
but another interesting thing is it seems to be modified as the ammo for the MG also seems to lead to a new box on the front of the turret where the lamp+smoke shells would sit, the lamp is also moved to the right-hand side of the turret and the smoke shells seems to be removed,
there are also some inscriptions written on the tank itself, “Bung Karno –” something something and the bottom text is completely illegible to me

I’d say it’s a Vickers MG, because of the muzzle device and you could also barely see the fluted water jacket.

Water cooled Browning’s do exist though you are correct that it’s a Vickers MG

Indonesian Pandur/cobra 30mm sporting a new UN camouflage for the upcoming transfer to the INDOBATT in Lebanon for the UNIFIL mission there.
the Army seems reluctant to actually use it lmao. But it is a significant upgrade for our troops compared to the BTR-80As and Anoas that they have currently, so its definitely a positive

Amazing paint job. Does the UT30 have the option for ATGMs as well?
1 Like
it does! However I dont think Indonesia uses that configuration unfortunately. In essence it’ll function similarly to the VBCI-2 we already have ingame, but with an additional Airburst round, since it uses the Orbital ATK bushmaster variant

Whats Gaijin’s policy regarding UN camos? Would love to have em especially French ones which are ubiquitous in UN camo lol

no idea honestly, but it does seem strange that no UN camouflage are in the game when they’re literally one of the easiest to create and implement since its basically just full-white camo with UN markings
