It wouldn’t have said that since the F-15IA doesn’t physically exist yet.
You are probably thinking of the F-15SG from Singapore to Israel but even then there was only mention of some Singapore additions might be going to Israel, nothing about any specific aircraft.
The F-15IA is ineligible to be added until it’s actually built. It’ll be altered from the base F-15EX design, meaning only assumptions could be made about what it will and won’t end up including until we see a prototype or production vehicle made. Same goes for the Israeli AH-64E
When I played the Luchs the bus today, an AMX 30 DCA could not get me from 500m with all that shooting.
Which is unlucky for him. They really need to either give its APDS back or move it down to 8.0
Or read this: The 30 DCA was a prtotype around 1969-70, which used the same turret as AMX 13 DCA. And the latter was used till 90s, and definitely used APDS. We can pull a what if, because they definitely has APDS in 1960s (Because RARDEN had that by 1971) but assume it did not exist and appeared later on.
So we can have the 13 DCA at 8.7, worse platform and armor but APDS. And 30 DCA at 8.0, better mobility and armor but no APDS.
I would love to see the original FV101 Scorpion ingame aswell. There’s something about light, small and tracked HE slinger-type vehicles with short-barreled, low-pressure guns (like the BMP-1/Pbv 501) that make them the absolute best kind of rat vehicle.
I think we will only see 1 unique vehicle, with it being the Leopard 2RI.
I think the Harimau’s will be delayed or premiums. While the TT gets the Leopard 2A4, AMX-13 and Marder-3
They could even make those unique, for example the AMX-13s got Singaporean SM1 upgrades, the Marder 1A3 doesn’t use the ATGM and the Leopard 2A4 integrated DM11 programmable HE.
There’s really no use being so pessimistic yet, all that does is lower expectations and make it easier for Gaijin to get away with less effort.
I mean the Leopard 2A4s are Leopard 2A4+, so they won’t be complete copy and paste. Indonesia has a ton of AMX-13/105 variants so I wouldn’t be surprised if we see those along with French (+ Maybe Dutch) AMX-13/105s. It’s always a possibility!
Personally if I had to guess we will have Harimau MT and Badak FSV and probably some form of AMX-13 that’s likely upgraded because there’s 4+ unique ones to choose from, because these are the first that come to mind for Indonesian ground vehicles aside from the Leopard 2RI.
But maybe some lower tier vehicles could be added instead or alongside these, considering the right line of the tree is only rank 6+ right now and Indonesia does have a lot of interesting and unique options here too.
Leopard 2A4+ is also likely just because that would make for two 10.7s with the Harimau where there’s no lineup yet.
