Depends. The Leopard 2RI would be a decent 12.0 option, not amazing with bad thermals, no spall liners and a bit worse armor than the 2A7s still, but still well armored with a good round.
But what I’m saying is just a copied Leopard 2A4. Gaijin love doing these as premium anyways, and it won’t be missed too much in the tree where you’d rather want more unique vehicles. It’s also easy to make now without having it planned, only needs a camo to work.
Just realized I misread. Yeah, Singaporean Leopards are a bit better since they get actually good CITV and turret spall liners. I’m just suggesting Indonesia because it’s far less controversial and has proper connection to Japan while Singapore only works alongside a general ASEAN theme we don’t have. Chances are Singapore would end up with Israel instead because of this.
As your fellow neighbour, I would rephrase that, it isn’t the chinese that defeated Japan, it’s the Americans that pushed Japan to the negotiating table. (also because the sovjets were preparing to invade the main islands).
To clarify for those who have not read the the article already. In the next major update, we won’t be adding a VT-4 to the Thailand sub tree. Other vehicles are planned to come to this branch in this update as detailed within the community update news.
