All unique vehicles.
That’s like saying 2A7V is copy-paste of 2A4.

The stingray is fine, but the M60 is needlessly copy pasted.

There is no evidence of M60’s model for Thailand at this time.
And TTS makes the 9.3 lineup Japan has stronger.
Or 9.0 if you don’t have the Type 74G.
Let’s be honest, do you truly expect Gajin to put any more effort than an M60 with new skins?
It’s not about what I speculate, it’s about what is and isn’t to me.
Speculation causes more stress than benefit, so I tend not to speculate.
Oplot 🙏
Please let it be Thai modified. It could be TIFCS or even just get WERA as a modification if they want to keep it as TTS

One of my favorite Nations & BR ranges to play is Japan 9.0br-9.7br
These additions are exciting.

They’re disappointing
They could still save them
Stingray and Oplot are interesting as-is and both M60A3 and M163 have unique Thai variants they could add. We won’t know what they are for sure unless they show them, so there is hope.

The stingray looks fun imo.
Yeah but, copy paste
The M60A3 may end up being a modified version. We will see. The Stingray is a new vehicle, even if two trees are getting it at the same time I still think that’s a win.
Imo the stingray getting added to two tree wouldn’t be bad if there wasn’t already so much copy paste.
Fair. But it isn’t even close to the worst case of C&P.
Remember this is Gaijin. At least one of them is completely new to the game.

It won’t be bad if they go for the national variants
The Thai one specifically got a 550hp engine and higher top speed of 71km/h compared to the initial Stingray demonstrator alongside some more visual changes. It’d also likely get newer rounds with M426 being used by Thailand.
I just hope they actually do add these distinct variants, but they did specific “Thai variant” in the devblog so there’s a good chance they do.

M60A3 TTS is not interesting for me, Type 74 (F) already does the work better with better silhouette and ammo at disposal. The Commando Stingray is awesome, though is just an oversized XM-8, I’m afraid it’s just an downgrade when compared to its other ‘brothers’.
Out of topic, if the T-84 BM Oplot is indeed being implemented to the Thai sub-tech tree in Japan, I have more than reasons to switch it with the Type 10 (P), hopefully similar mobility or even better with better overall armor.
By the way, the XM-8 and TCM AGS could have this awesome black camouflage:
The Thai camouflage might also end up as black in game.
Gaijin have shown off this digital Thai camo in the devblog, which uses a full black base color.
The real camo is applied over the standard unicolor camo, which is a very dark greenish grey tone. So if Gaijin is representing it as full on black for the digital camo, the base color would be black as well.
I don’t think it should be as black as Gaijin made it, but it’s still a very dark camo. I hope Gaijin actually decide to represent it and don’t just give it the generic US default color shown in the devblog
As much as solid colors camouflages such like beige and as well black looks cool, the digital camouflagee shown seems to look more futurist and out of the place.
