Taiwan was never cleared to purchase AIM-9Ls though, they went from AIM-9P-4s to AIM-9Ms
Gravehawk, armed with AIM-132. For British anti air line. Range 10-15km due to surface launched nature.
SupaCat HMT chassis.
Currently in use only by Ukraine.
I reckon the black dingly donly just to right from the missiles IR seeker tips might be a radar as in different pics it can be seen facing different directions.

Won’t be added to the game, at least for now.
The thing on the mast is a E/O sight.

Olifant MK1B. Essentially the Olifant MK2 we already have in game, But without the 3rd gen Thermals.
But the same composite array, engine and suspension upgrades, and a extended range fuel tank in place of the Ammorack in the front of the hull (Something all Olifants have, But gaijin won’t Listen)

I really need more South African armour.
AND the Olifant Mk2 Prototype. With its Improved Composite array that was twice as thick on the front of the turret. Possibly even with the Home grown 120mm gun this variant of the Olifant was supposed to carry. The GT-9 120mm, which was developed from the 120mm/140mm gun intended for the TTD if it ever saw production

Is that on the South Africa variant of the Patria AMV? Nvm, it’s rooikat-based vehicle.
Have the necessary suggestions been made for all of these yet? If so, maybe link them?
Then we have their Experiment of shoving a Rooikat 105 turret on a Warrior hull, and i REALLY want it.

I believe one has been made for the Mk1B Olifant, And the MK2 Prototype, atleast on reddit.
But i believe the RG41 is just too new for the game.
Did you guys just called an RG 41 a Rooikat
And it has a suggestion Denel RG41 (T7)
So does the Optimum Olifant MK1B "Optimum" suggestion
Base 1B does not have a suggestion

Sorry, its a fat, Overweight Rooikat.
It is odd, that post mentions that the Optimum has a new turret, Everything i can find says its still the original MK3 Centurion turret underneath, just with even heavier upgrades than the Olifant Mk1b’s and such.
Optimum turret without the wedges

Huh. What do yah know, I saw that picture and i Honestly thought it was the TTD’s turret stripped down.
Very similar design language that is for sure.
Shame this turret hasn’t found use… looks quite chunky.
Once you look at things like mantlet and periscopes, you can see it is not a ttd
Doing more research here and i am seeing a few places saying that IS a Stripped down TTD turret. But it certainly isn’t one.
Probably where my confusion came from
I must say… its quite odd that a country would go through all that effort to design a brand new turret for a tank built in 1948, and not make a new hull to go with it, or atleast improve the composite package the hull received.
That is one thing i have never quite understood about the Olifants, the protection is just kinda… All over the place, the massive gaps in the composite on the turret of the MK1B and Mk2 are especially noticeable.
But well i guess when you are trying to squeeze as much life as you can out of what is basically a WW2 Era MBT. you do what you can.
