+1, India has many unique vehicles and enough modified ones I think it should be added as a full tree

Some of the 8X8 armored fighting vehicles from past, though BTR-60 was only limited to air defense units since they came into service with import of Russian air defense systems, while OT-64 saw combat in 71 war, both systems are retired in 90s.

Have any of the Indian OT-64 equipped with ATGM’s since Czech and Polish OT-64’s/SKOT’s were equipped with them at some point
No, they were retired too soon …

I want to know something not much related to ground forces, but i might try asking you.
Its regarding HF-24 marut, and top speed of its variants
There were main 3 iirc
- Mk1 - with 2 non afterburning bristol engine
- Mk1R - with 2 afterburning bristol engine
- Mk1BX - with first 1 bradner and 1 bristol, later 2 bradner (e300 engines)
Out of these, Mk1 top speed is 1112 kmph, mach 0.93 at sea level (wiki is most likely misleading saying it never went supersonic, at altitude it definately went supersonic). On the other hand, Mk1 BX went mach 1.1 at unknown altitude (most likely also near sea level, but not comfirmed).
Do you have any speed values for marut mk1 at some altitude? speed value of mk1r at any alitude? and also mk1bx at specified altitude?

460mm LOS, at 60°, 2000m
And ingame, its 470mm LOS (235mm vertical), at 60°, 2000m
So pretty close ingame.

Definitely, all that really matters is making sure what are vehicles that saw service and which ones are just exhibited vehicles
Other than that, ill be sure to check them out!
Something I found, idk it’s credibility

Pretty sure it was 1112 kmph at sea level, even wiki now says that. the mach 0.93 number is also gives speed in 1100 - 1150 kmph for speed level
Here it also states that it reached 1149 kmph at sea level, which translates to exactly mach 0.93

When are we going to get more Indian vehicles ffs. They claim it’s a sub-tree but there’s very few things in the tree. Still hoping it becomes an independent tree though. Give me that Arjun Mk. 1A and Bhishma Mk. III.

R-R armoured cars, Calcutta Presidency Battalion Auxiliary Force
" Outside Karnal (80 miles from Delhi) Grand Trunk Road".
Karnal is in Haryana. Three armoured cars in convoy.
In 1923 Crossley supplied a number of chassis to Vickers at Crayford to be fitted with armoured car superstructure. Completed vehicles were sold to India (approx 100)
1915 Napier Armoured car in Punjab. Notice the absence of a gun turret. The vehicle appears to be chain driven.

+1 The only downside is lack of battleships but the rest of the vehicles in all branches make up for it.
