Thailand Japan and China have had very good international relations for a long time. We do business together. and negotiated business matters since ancient times Including in battle There are both Chinese volunteer troops and Japanese volunteer troops fighting with Siamese soldiers since ancient times.
Japanese volunteer troops in Ayutthaya Kingdom
Chinese volunteer troops in Thonburi Kingdom
As a Thai person I think your statement that Thailand is “vassal of China for hundreds of years” is an insult to Thailand’s dignity. which have been partners and allies since ancient times
I understand that many Chinese people are dissatisfied with Thailand’s alliance with Japan in this game. Due to military relations But speaking disrespectfully of others By using nationalism to destroy others. I view it as something that civilized people do not do.

Modern history is more important in this context, especially when you consider the time when Thailand operates these vehicles

Only that this has ended in 1850 with the Taipeng Rebellion. The only argument to be made are Chinese vehicles bought by Thailand in the modern day, which aren’t even necessary for a proper subtree. They are also not included in the suggestions and even Gaijin said they had no plans for those.
Japan on the other hand had a military alliance with Thailand in WWII and a comprehensive strategic partnership in the modern day. They also supplied Japanese vehicles to Thailand during their military alliance.
There have even been more Japanese designed vehicles in Thai service than there were Chinese. Counting 8 for the Chinese and 13 for the Japanese side (Though my naval list is very incomplete, so it might be more for Japan).
Another small thing to note here is context. With most Japanese vehicles being given to Thailand explicitly as a military ally, but the Chinese simply being exported for profit. There might still be political implications, but these are not as strong as the Japanese.
I somewhat understand the concern of Chinese vehicles in the Japanese tree, but Thailand in general just makes the most sense there.
And more than that China has other options, like Pakistan for example, which is a very popular subtree suggestion, as well as already combining two separate militaries (ROC/PRC) with separate procurement and development in the existing tree.
Sure, they sufferend a lot under the old consultant hindering development, but it does seem to be picking up steam now, with the current main concern being the often poor representation of vehicles performance that most, if not all nations in game struggle with.

Not that I am aware of, their Gripens are unmodified afaik.
According to the white paper published by the Royal Thai Airforce, JAS 39 C/D Gripen can be equipped with
- RB74,
- AIM9L
- MICA
- RB99/AMRAAM
- RB 71/Sky Flash
- RB 75 Maverick
- DWS 39
- KEPD 150 SOM
- Rbs-15
If you have more information on Gripen, especially the C/D variant, please feel free to share it with me. After all, I am not really that proficient in information regarding modern-high end aircrafts. ^-^

The chinese cope strikes again, Japan military relations with thailand it’s closer than china, Japan and thailand do military exercises often as well as discussing military tactics and relations to keep safe, from oh who china or North korea, using something as history that happened 100 years ago it’s plain and simply dumb as an excuse, idk why chinese mains want to have thailand so Bad when they have Taiwan and could still get other more plausible subtrees

Never heard Gaijin regard as Republic of China as a subtree of china
I searched Gaijin bring out the concept of subtree at Ixwa Strike but China TT comes in a much earlier update, Night Vision
Subtree or not doesn’t make it any different apart from name.
They still get vehicles from multiple separate militaries, with separate needs and procurement. Each of them needs to have their own, different vehicles to fill their respective roles. They are also quite different, with PRC being mostly eastern oriented design wise, and ROC being more western oriented.
It is debatable if this is a subtree or not, but it does serve the purpose of one.
Yeah, it do functionly nothing but I heard some voice like CN have Taiwan Subtree so dont ask for another subtree
As we see Gaijin (or Tencent when China TT comes out on China server) wants to make a united (PR and Ro) China tree, including these vehicles from pre-1949 and after-1949 RoC
Though i’m confused why gaijin put MBT2000 on ROC line
Some more pictures from my latest visit to Royal Thai Airforce Museum.

That’s a VT-4A1.
Standard VT-4 that Thailand uses would likely go.
Also Oplot.

If they gave it the flair box found on the AV-8A, then it would automatically become Japan’s best 9.7 jet lol

I assume that AV-8S Matador from RTN would be 10.0 for Air RB & Air SB

According to Thai news recently, Thailand will receive a new light-attack aircraft AT-6TH this June 2024.
I will be very excited if it will be added to the game.
In 2022, Royal Thai Air Force borrows an AT-6E from Textron for three years to develop software for the AT-6TH program, saying it will be able to carry IRIS-T missiles and other weapons used by RTAF.

Could it mount any guided munitions? It could bring some CAS to higher tiers.

According to the information, besides the various guided bombs, there are Hellfire and AGR-20 APKWS missile weapons that can be used.
