Oh hell naw not a premium
There’s waaaaay enough of them
Would be really unfortunate if they locked unique Pakistani vehicles behind a paywall only to then lack unique options for the future subtree

INTERCONAIR / the author misidentified/mislabed the vehicle shown here.
This is not a “swiss typhoon” chassis, this is the RU 362 chassis (prototype for the SPz Marder, 1966). The bundeswehr gave Oerlikon the RU 362 chassis to fit the turret for trials/tests
(aswell as a KanJaPz “Belgienausführung”, later named ET3/73 - This chassis was modified but the turret never fitted, due to the Bundeswehr rejecting the proposal after the GDD-A trials on the RU 362).
Such were conducted in early 1980, the vehicle was to have a similar tactical-use as the previously rejected Begleitpanzer 57 mm.
As such, after the firing tests/trials were conducted, the Bundeswehr once again decided against a Begleitpanzer (support-tank) proposal, as they did not see a immediate necessity or way to fit such vehicle-types into their existing structures.
RU 362 (1966);
RU 362 fitted with Oerlikon GDD-A turret (circa 1980);
Edit: I’ll probably make a suggestion for it soon’ish…
Update: Suggestion is now visible:

The WS-10B has a thrust of 140-144KN depending on source, not 135.
The second last image of the radar has no valid source linking it to any aircraft.
And the last one is supposedly the J-16’s radar from a 2012 research paper

Should have the new french army camos, it’s stupid how all modern french vehicles are dark green insread of having their real camos
I bet even when the Jaguar comes it will come in that ugly dark brown color that even the prototypes didn’t have

They better be giving us the option between 35mm and 50mm barrels (/ammo-types) as modification ngl.
They did something similar with the BMP-1’s atgm and given the code used (Which I checked for trying to make the Begleit’s I-TOW a modification, so you can have 3-4 ammo slots again), it should be possible easily.

Idk if it’s necessary honestly, I’d have to look up the muzzle-velocity difference etc.
Main other difference would be ammunition-capacity…
SPz MARDER 2 - Ammunition (35x228mm / 50x330mm CTA)
35x228 PFHE-TF — APFSDS-T /—/ 50x330 PFHE-TF — APFSDS-T
(As far as I can remember, the HE was basically a predecessor to AHEAD, being pre-fragmented and featuring an adjustable timed-fuze, might be wrong though. Regardless, it’s pretty clear that it’s the same HE in both rounds)
There are cutaway images of the 50x330mm APFSDS-T (CTA) aswell, but I don’t know if it’s the round for the Rh 503 and I don’t know for absolute certainty whether I can share the other image, so I won’t do so.
PFHE can easy turn into something unplayable by gaijin hand or become radio fuse, that would be really cool
I mean this doesnt have any arh missiles and only uses aim-9 variants for aa purposes it wouldnt be busted , it would bring m7ch needed cas for chinese tech tree because a-5 with 2 lgbs don’t just cut it
