At least your bug gets looked at, mine is still open.
This is the third time ive had to ask a mod before one looked after waiting over a week. For posts that only have 2 people looking at them you have to talk to a mod for them to ever get them looked at.
My bug report on the Finnish T34s being historically wrong since in game they are the heaviest base T34s in game because gaijin add the add on armor weight to them while they dont have that armor and they are missing the track on the front plate, the track guards and fuel tanks. They should weigh less then them but i mean who cares right? Its not like its important/s

I highly doubt this is functional, I might be wrong but I don’t believe there is enough space in the turret for a 6pdr.
Iirc the Chi-Ha Indonesia has on display is also fitted with a new barrel (not sure if it’s a proper gun or not), so I think they are just doing it for display purposes. The general public might not see a tank with the Japanese short 57mm to be very impressive.
Me ;)

There have been many cases where packs were converted to GE. This should have been the case for Israel, which has few options. Another option would have been to replace it with a GE vehicle.
It’s clear they removed the 2D to force people to buy the 3D, which, in my opinion, is a very poor and convoluted strategy.
This has always been the treatment Israel has received and will continue to receive. This is how Gaijin treats Israeli players. And the silence of some only confirms this idea, which is becoming increasingly widespread among the players.

Yeah, looking at Malaysian trial tanks there’s really not too much interesting stuff. The PT-91M they ended up adopting is a very interesting tank as is.
Though an Obj 478DU7, another Oplot variant distinct from the Thai Oplot-T that we probably couldn’t get any other way, is an exception for me.

From what I understand the Chi-Ha is a mock up barrel, but is meant to represent a 6pdr armed Chi-Ha modification that may have actually been real.

Really now? Can the 6pdr breach even fit into the Chi-Ha turret? I can understand why the Indonesians would want to upgun it, but there’s a reason the Japanese had to create an entirely new turret to do so.

I’d say, while absolutely less practical, it does seem possible.
Here’s the 6pdr and the 57mm Type 90 respectively
Spoiler
Type 90 57mm
QF 6pdr
That’s a real issue though, since we don’t actually have any images of the real tank, if it even existed. The museum display seems to be a replica with a fake barrel.
This also means that the tanks actually modified might have already been based on the enlaged turret Chi-Ha Kai tanks. It is likely the museum just took what they could get, it doesn’t necessarily have to depict the correct variant.

Pretty sure it only happens when tanks are eligible for sales and fairly high rank. Stuff like the ZUT is still ingame after all.
It’s the vehicles DanPogan made on WTLive.
- BTR-4
- BM Oplot
- Yatagan
He probably just released them to Gaijin a few years ago and they remained as assets for later.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he was the reason behind the Ukrainian sub for Russia that RowieK keeps banging on about.
Sadly ukraine probs wont be touched in its fill capacity for some years now tbh…

Yep the only proper place for Ukraine would be Poland, but given how they somewhat abandon new playable nations for the time being. It won’t be for a good 3 to 5 years yet.

I really hope for japan to get a sub tree, they deserve and need it
and to be honest, I think it’s the only way to see ukranian vehicles like the Oplot the BTR-3 and 4 by this time but who knows
