There has always a huge demand for vehicles from South America, where ever it is Aircraft from Argentina or Ground Vehicles from Brazil. There are currently suggestions for Independent TT’s for Argentina/Uruguay & Brazil both on the old and new forums and they do show potential, however they so have some noticeable issues (one-dimensional gameplay style for Ground Vehicles or lack of Top-Tier Jets in the case of Argentina or the lack of unique Air Vehicles for Brazil). An easy way to fix this is to combine the two TT’s together since they compliment their strengths and compensate their weaknesses well. A few people have already prototyped the idea, particularly on the old forum, this is specifically my interpretation of the idea

The Fw-58, also known as the Weihe (Harrier) is a light twin engine reece, liaison, transport, training and bomber aircraft designed by Focke Wulf. Brazil brought a license to produce the Fw-58 locally starting in 1938. The Fw-58 saw action with various nations including combat roles, Brazil is no exception to this. The Brazilians however did do a couple of upgrades to them, firstly they add 2 additional hardpoints on the wings allowing to carry light bombs or depth charges, the second upgrade is changing the guns from MG15’s to 30cal Browning lmg’s (2 in the nose as well). Another thing to note is due to Brazilian Fw-58 being built domestically used local wood sources, because of that, Brazilian Fw-58’s are heavier than their German counterparts and performance (slightly) suffered as a result of it

Brazil primarily used them for Anti-Submarine and Maritime Patrol purposes until they were retired in 1952

Spoiler

The I.Ae 35 is a family of aircraft designed by the famed Kurt Tank. This specific aircraft fill various roles including an Ambulance, Light Transport, Light Cargo, Reece, Liaison and Most critically, a light bomber/COIN aircraft. The combat variant is designated as the “Huanquero”. Armament wise it is equipped with 2 forward firing M2 Browning HMG’s using Post-war ammo. Secondary weapon wise consists of 4 small bombs (up to 400kg total on the belly) and T10 unguided rockets on the wings. The I.Ae 35 was eventually phased out when more dedicated aircraft were put into operation service like the Pucara COIN aircraft & Cordoba Airliner.

Argentina brought a total of 12 Canberra’s (10 B.2’s and 2 T.4’s) in the early 1970’s. The B.62 and T.64 designations refer to the first set of refurbishments done in the UK, mainly to extended the lifespan of them. During the Falklands war, Argentina did a total of 54 sorties, losing 2 to a AIM-9L fired from a Sea Harrier and Sea Dart AAM respectively. After the Falklands war Argentina needed to obtain bombs from elsewhere and do modifications to make them compatible as a result from the resulting embargo of British weapons and weapon systems. The Argentine Airforce used bombs of Spanish origin as well as testing Soviet/Russian made FAB/OFAB bombs on them, Argentine Canberra’s can mount FFAR Mighty mouse rocketpods. Also as a result of Argentina’s experiences in the Falklands war, they were modified to carry countermeasures (flares only). They were retired in 2000 with some being on display

Essentially this was a design study on the feasibility of designing a domestically built armoured car. The Brazilian government greenlight this project primarily to be more self-sufficient in terms of weapons procurement. The Armoured car in question eventually became the VBB’s, 2 prototypes were built with the main difference between the two are different designed hulls. First prototype will be a Pack & GE Premium while the Second prototype will be a TT vehicle. Due to the nature of these vehicles, the VBB’s were never entered production, instead the lessons learned from them is critical in the development of Brazil’s later AC development like the EE-3, EE-9 & EE-11. This prototype still exists as a door guard at CTEx

VBR-2:

Spoiler

Brazil’s Second attempt and continuation at making a domestically built armoured car, learning the lessons from the previous VBB project. Like with the Previous project it shares a lot of the same features including an extremely similar turret. One thing to note is that the VBR-2 is the first vehicle to use the Boomerang Suspension, a highly inventive suspension which future Brazilian defense firm Engesa will be known for. Essentially how it works is that the four back wheels instead of being connected to the body or having 2 axels, both wheels on the same side are connected together to one central axel. This gives any vehicle with this suspension unmatched mobility, especially on rough terrain.

Again like with the VBB, the VBR-2 never pass the prototype phase for a lot of the same reasons. The Boomerang Suspension is implemented on all of Engesa’s 6 wheeled Armoured cars

Sherman Repotencidao (IC & VC):

Spoiler

This is essentially Argentina’s upgrade program for their Sherman Fireflies akin to the Israeli M-51 Ishermans. Both the Repotencidao and the M-51 used the same family of Gun, the CN-105-57 with the main difference being that the Repotencidao’s Gun is licensed built in Argentina as the “L44/57” while the Isherman is brought from France. That is where the similarities between the Repotencidao and the M-51 end. First Major difference is Israel primarily used Ex American, Italian and French Shermans and the variants they use (75 & 76mm Shermans) while Argentina exclusively used Fireflies for their upgrade program. The second difference is the engines, the Ishermans used Cummins diesel engines while the Repotencidao used a Poyuard engine, a FIAT engine was proposed for the Repotencidao as well. The final difference is the Repotencidao program started way later than any of Israel’s Sherman upgrade programs.

There will be 3 variants, one on the Hybrid chassis, one on a Welded Chassis (the welded chassis will also get access to a dozer blade) and a Composite Chassis with a Mine clearer as a Premium vehicle.

CCL X1 “Pioneiro”:

Spoiler

The CCL X1 is Brazil’s first attempt to upgrade the M3 Stuart to stay relatively competitive with modern armour as well as to modernize it starting in the 1960’s. It has gone through several modifications including the following:

  • a completely new turret sporting a 90mm cannon
  • the turret can mount secondary M2HB Browning HMG
  • a brand new engine from Scania
  • altered suspension system for better ground pressure

Out of the 400 M3 & M3A1’s Brazil operated, at least 52 & a prototype vehicle were upgraded to CCL X1’s

This is a proposed variant of the EE-9 Cascavel with the 25mm Oerlikon KBA autocannon, intended for the Iraqi Army.

T-55 TENSA: Upgrade package by Argentina (Argentine Firm), intended for the Peruvian Army (never accepted into service/cancelled)

Spoiler

In 1991 the Peruvian army was looking to upgrade their stock of T-55’s, they eventually set up a proposed contract with Argentine firm Talleres Electromecánicos Norte S.A. (TENSA). The upgrades were intended to be done in their Lima factory with the prototype done in Argentina. TENSA was hired for this contract due to their experience modernizing other armoured vehicles, mainly vehicles operated by the Argentine Army but they did modernization/upgrade packages to other Latin American countries on occasion. The upgrades consists of the following:

  • replacing the D-10T 100mm with a L7 cannon, the same one found on the TAM
  • replacing the old Soviet Era engine with a new engine from MTU (most likely the same engine family that the TAM also uses)
  • a brand new Infra red light
  • new 77mm smoke launchers
  • rubber side skirts

The upgrades remind me a lot of the upgrades that the Egyptian army is doing to their T-54, 55’s & 62’s. Ultimately the project was cancelled in the engine mainly due to various internal issues in TENSA with the sole prototype in the premises of the TENSA Lima factory. Peru never pursuit the idea of upgrading their T-55’s again until 17 years later with the T-55 Leone’s in 2008

Ti-67:

Spoiler

Uruguayan designation for the Tiran 5Sh. Uruguay purchased 15 Tiran-5’s from Israel in 1997. The Tiran-5’s went through various upgrades including, replacing the original Soviet guns (main cannon, co-ax & roof mounted) with western analogues; the D-10T 100mm cannon is replaced with a 105mm M68 cannon, both the co-ax & roof mounted SGMT & DSHK’s are replaced with M1919A4 lmg’s. The engine and transmission systems are also replaced. The main difference between Uruguayan Tirans and Israeli Tirans is that the Uruguayan Tiran, inspite having mountings for Blazer ERA, never mounted them meaning that Uruguayan Tiran will likely not have any ERA. Inspite of this the Ti-67 is the most well armoured tank in the Argentine/Uruguay line

Brazil

Air:

  • P-40E
  • A-29 Super Tucano: This aircraft is intentionally hold off due to balance considerations (i am already pushing it with the addition of the IA.58C), once a solution is found it will immediately be added
  • P-95B “Bandeirulha”: Twin engine Maritime Patrol aircraft, can equip rockets, bombs and depth charges, other armaments are currently unknown
  • EMB 145 MP: Proposed Anti-Shipping and Anti-Submarine variant of the P-99 akin to the Dassault-Breguet Guardian, no prototypes were built
  • EMB-312H: Prototype EMB-312 prototype for the JPATS program similar to the Pampa 2000

Ground:

  • CRM: Pre-production EE-9 Cascavel Mk.I as well as a test bed for various turrets and cannons
  • CV-9040: Brazil trailed the earlier CV-90’s back in 2000, it never passed the trial phase
  • CV-90 Mk.IV: Brazil is trialing the CV-90’s again in 2023 partially for a new IFV but also to replace their stock of aging Leopard I tanks by using the same turret that the Centauro II used, because of that Brazil may get 2 variants (CV-90 Mk.IV & CV-90 MGS)
    *VT-4A1: Brazil Trialed at least one VT-A1 to replace their Leopard I tanks

Great job, this looks amazing.

I would quickly like to suggest the VCLC and TAM SXXI.

You could also add TH-301 as an event/premium.

I dream of having the EE-18 Sucuri II, the Osorio and the TAM in the same lineup

Hello. In general, it is a well-executed work.

Some general recommendations I would give are:

  • Add an illustration for each vehicle.
  • Add the nation to which it corresponds.
  • “Río de la Plata” in general refers to Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. “Rio Uruguay” is the one that crosses Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay but it is completely anti-marketing xD
  • Correct “Nauhel” to “Nahuel”.
  • Add the Brazilian “M4 Repotenciado”.

Some queries:

  • What is a “Nahuel (E)”?
  • What is a “Repotenciado (W)”? New suspension?
  • What is a “TAM (211)”? TAM S21?

I don’t agree with certain things:

  • TAM-2IP has no way of being better than a TAM-2CA2, just by having some additional ceramics as armour. Both the TAM-2C and TAM-2CA2 are technologically superior by decades.

If you need help with the naval and coastal vessels of Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay or Latin America, let me know. Right now I will share this article with you: “Argentine Naval Technology Tree for Warthunder’s Bluewater”. There you can find an extensive PDF with lot of details.

With the TH-300 and TH-301 I have terrible rejection. They are ultimately the designs and prototypes made by Germany and that should be in THAT researchable tree.
On the other hand, their Argentine equivalents are respectively the TAM-A (or TAM-1), the first prototype, and the TAM-4, the series production model. These must be taken from Germany and put on a Latam researchable tree.
The differences between these are few, but they are more established in the German TH-301, which evolved better than the Argentine serial TAM, at least until the modernizations of TAM-S21.

It’s simply a suggestion. The first prototype came with skirts, NVD, fuel tanks and snorkel (let’s say, with its accessories).

I remember reading that the first prototype came with a marder engine (less HP) and stabilized on a single axis, it could be a TAM with a lower BR.

TAM-4 I’m not sure, I think it is the “superior” export version sent to Thailand, without success, for testing, but there is a lot of ambiguity here and there are no clear sources on the matter.

TAM “211”, is a unit of RCTan8, which in an urban combat exercise used a different appearance. A TAM with cosmetics, as a premium, just like M1 KVT and other tanks with accessories.

Spoiler

TAM 2IP you are referring to, I assume, is a TAM 2C+IP. In short, IP is not a vehicle, but rather a shielding package designed to be applied to the TAM.

Spoiler

TAM+2A2

Many of us asked a long time ago (something similar was already done with the Ariete) to see a TAM that combines the technological solution + the armoring solution.

Edit: I would like to add that the 2CA2, and this latest version with improved protection, should fire LAHAT (clarification: the EA will not tell us if they have missiles or not, but the tank has the ability to fire them).

Thanks you for the clarifications.

TAM-A prototype. It’s like you say.

TAM-4 prototype, or pre-serie. The TAM-4 is the prototype that was serialized as it. In Germany it was called TH-301. The TH-301 with modifications was the one offered to Thailand and others.

For those who read this and do not know, between 1976-78 Germany made a technological transfer to Argentina, but since their local production had been rejected by the Argentine Army, then as a product of experience the German companies developed its tank in parallel.
Thus, the Argentine TAM-1 prototype (or TAM-A) is equivalent to the German TH-300 prototype and the Argentine TAM-4 prototype is equivalent to the German TH-301 prototype.
The issue is that Argentina stagnated and during the 1980s/1990s Germany continued working on these tanks for export, in turn competing against Argentina. During those decades both nations offered a similar tank; The Argentines sold it cheaper and with the basic technology and the Germans sold it more expensive and with improved technology (engine, protection, etc.).
The Cold War, the economic and financial crises, the blocs in the negotiations and the Governments finally meant that none of these countries completed a serial sale.

TAM-211. Nice to know!

TAM 2IP I mean this:

Spoiler

If the author of the tree refers to this version, then it is worse than a TAM-2C and a TAM-2CA2, because in the real world it is only a proposal for a slight improvement in protection capabilities. And nothing more.

2CA2+IP Now, the proposal you have is very attractive and I support it. Be it a 2C+IP or 2CA2+IP combination, it would be a fantastic vehicle. And now that I think about perhaps the author of this tree was referring to this tank as top tier instead.

Lahat. THAT would be fantastic.

I also imagine the same thing. There is no way that the 2IP is at the end of the line, it is a common TAM, with the Israeli armor.

Interesting to know! I always thought that the TH-300 was the German prototype of the VCTP.

I like the idea of a combined tree. But perhaps as you mentioned, the name chosen is not entirely representative.

Some general recommendations I would give are:

  • Add an illustration for each vehicle.

I will add illustrations as soon as i add a couple of more vehicles and change and/or move some existing ones around

  • Add the nation to which it corresponds.

I will do that as well, even though i attempted to place all the Argentine & Uruguayan vehicles in one line and Brazilian vehicles (at least Light, Medium & Main battle tanks for ground and fighters for air), there is some overlap

  • “Río de la Plata” in general refers to Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. “Rio Uruguay” is the one that crosses Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay but it is completely anti-marketing xD

If you have any ideas on a better TT name, i would like to hear it

  • Correct “Nauhel” to “Nahuel”.

Thanks for pointing that out, I’ll will fix that error

  • Add the Brazilian “M4 Repotenciado”.

Brazil never operated the M4 Repotenciado, only the M4A1 variant. Paraguay did operate the M4 Repotenciado however Paraguayan Repotenciado’s are identical to their Argentine counterpart so it will not be added due to redundancy

  • What is a “Nahuel (E)”?

It is a early variant of the Nahuel (it lacks a view port and has hull mounted lmg’s)

  • What is a “Repotenciado (W)”? New suspension?

It mean’s welded, however i am going to change it to “VC”, the (H) will be reclassified as “IC (Hybrid)”

  • TAM-2IP has no way of being better than a TAM-2CA2, just by having some additional ceramics as armour. Both the TAM-2C and TAM-2CA2 are technologically superior by decades.

I was referring to the TAM-2CIP prototype but what you stated is also correct. Because of that i will specify it is the TAM-2CIP, it will also be moved before the 2CAC & the regular TAM-2IP will be added as well, foldered with the 2C

Also i was wondering, can the VLEGA Gaucho mount a ATGM and/or AAM?

Bolivia was largely due to Bolivia’s close ties to Germany. As for the Latter, all i know that it was most likely Ex RAF (and/or Ex RNZAF) Avengers since the sole aircraft carrier that Brazil operated during the time the “Minas Gerais” was originally first a Royal Navy aircraft carrier the “HMS Vengeance” via the Royal Australian Navy
