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.

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).

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.
Display Plaque and translated textImage
Translation
UF-1 Albatros (IR-0117)Country of Origin : United States
Aircraft Type : Amphibious
Factory : Grumman Aircraft, USA
Engine : Piston 2 ea
Wingspan : 29,42m
Length : 19,12m
Height : 7,7m
Empty Weight : 10.839kg
Max Weight : 17.010kg
Max Speed : 379km/h
Armament : Torpedo & Rocket
Crew : 7 plane crews
Year in service : 1957 - 1977
- A part of 5th Sea Reconnaisance Squadron Indonesian Navy
- Stationed in Abdurahman Saleh, Malang
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.

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
