Indonesian Sub-tree: Bhinneka Tunggal Ika!

+1 Add as Japanese subtree

I think there are many people who think that it is enough because it can be added to Japan with the Thailand subtree. However, in the future, many 4.5th generation or later fighters and 3.5th or later generation tanks will be added, but Thailand lacks the power to fill the gap, and the Indonesia tree that has them is necessary for the Japan tree.

thoughts on the KNIL ( The Royal Netherlands East Indies Army ) to be combined with Indonesia to bolster the lower tier vehicles? I might be wrong but I believe they are not the same as the Royal Netherlands Army

might as well make it a dutch subtree))

well I’m just throwing ideas out there, and to be fair some of their vehicles was operated by Indonesians as they ended up being captured by the Japanese which helped oversee the independence movement

maybe the Marmon Herrington MK III ? but it would perform really bad, like worse than the Csaba.

Dont know whether they are captured, but these Chevy trucks mounted with water-cooled 50cals could be a tier 1 SPAA too

oh but i meant indonesia as a dutch subtree lmao, who doesn’t love some drama

that would be funny but I dont think Netherlands’ vehicles suffice for a full nation unfortunately

With the Thailand sub-tree being passed to the devs I dont think Indonesia will become a sub-tree for Japan, unless they decided to make it a combination of two nations like @Mahiwew said here

But i can see it working by implementing only some, not all of Indonesian vehicles are implemented, as i mentioned before

no but a benelux tree (belgium + netherlands) does

well, add that to the list of nations that can possibly get the sub-tree, albeit quite a controversial one

that’s the fun part

@Yontzee are you also planning on suggesting the air vehicles in the forum as well?

I’m not entirely sure yet. I’m not the best at air assets but if anyone else wants it by all means.

yeah why not? then again the dutch are the weaker one in terms of actual military power, their power came from the deeply entrenched colonialism in the system.

ahh okay

well if someone wants to do that, feel free to do so. I already put the basic list of planes possible, but ill put it here again just in case:

Spoiler

the BR and some of the image is not accurate to the actual vehicles, they’re just placeholders

You forgot the Ki-51 “Guntei”, the only surviving example of which is on display in the Indonesian Airforce Museum

Also the A-4E’s should actually be A-4H’s since Indonesian Skyhawks are actually Israeli Skyhawks that they acquire via the United States

1 Like

oh yeah I forgot about them

for the Skyhawks, I’m not sure whether its A-4H/E. most sources that I read states that they’re A-4Es. But to be honest I don’t quite know exactly what the differences are between them

Spoiler

“…these were A-4Es and TA-4Hs from Israeli stocks.”

“Some of the Israeli built avionics were removed, but the A-4s retained the DEFA 30mm cannon
and extended tailpipes.”

“In 1982 an additional sixteen surplus A-4Es were purchased directly from US stocks and were refurbished before delivery”

“Indonesia considered buying TA-4PTMs from Malaysia, but acquired a pair of ex-USN TA-4Js instead. The TA-4Js were refurbished by Safe Air Engineering at Woodbourne, New Zealand.”

anyway, here’s the full list of planes that could be implemented for the Indonesian Air Force throughout the years(not including helicopters). Some planes I omitted intentionally due to them being early biplanes with no guns, for others I might’ve just forgotten about them
