Just want to share my proposal that was finally approved. This is a Thornycroft 65ft CMB that was a unique upgrade of the 55ft CMB that was offered and licensed produced in Thailand as well.
Afaik, only the Q-111 ‘Luzon’ was the only boat that got to serve that used this specification as it was quickly replaced by larger designs.
I was hoping that this could be a good sidegrade for the 55ft CMB present on tier 1 of the proposed Siamese Coastal Fleet Subtree.
Q-111 ‘Luzon’ was refloated and served in the IJN as Patrol Boat No. 114
Royal Thai Navy Thornycroft 55 ft CMB that was licensed produced in Thailand as Hanhaksattru Class or No.1 motor torpedo boat Class

Basically, nope. AS550 C5 of RTA is a recon/light attack helicopter with armaments only including 20mm gun pod, 12.7 gun pod, 7 and 12-tube unguided rocket.

Any info on the loadout for the AH6i theyre gonna be buying?
If I’m not wrong, the loadout of AH-6I for RTA will be.
AGM-114R Hellfire with M229 Launcher. (might be 4 Hellfire/Launcher/Side)
Advance Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) and Hydra 70 with M260 Launcher.
M134 7.62 Minigun and GAU-19/B .50 cal Gunpod.
note: this loadout might change after RTA receives AH-6I and adapts loadout to different roles in the army.
Any guesses on how the Japanese air tree might be organized to fit a sub tree like Thailand? Currently there are 3 lines that are totally underutilized right now, and we already have 5 lines so all sub tree additions would have to be woven into the existing tree, or the would have to reorganize and merge one line so they have the space to add a whole new Thai line.

I think the Original Japan tech tree will just move to the right side and fit a whole new line of Thai tree, just like other sub tree.

Well they would have to reduce it down to 4 lines, so they would need to reshuffle atleast one line of planes currently to make that happen. They have made it clear that the will never go past 5 lines for a tech tree
In that case, first and second fighter line might fused together. I kinda have no idea about this.
I’d assume they’d either take the dive bomber line and split it between the bomber and interceptor/attacker lines, or spread them thoughout the tree by the same ruleset Japnese planes are spread and only start a dedicated line from rank 5 onwards.
Considering we have gotten subtree planes and original nation planes sharing lines I don’t think either of these options is unlikely, and even think the most likely one is the second option.

Okay so I just found this obscure beauty, this is the Mitsubishi Ki-30 Ann which was a competitor to the same program that brought the Kawasaki Ki-32 where both were accepted into service and production orders for both were placed. Thailand received about 24+ units of the aircraft and used it in the Franco-Thai War.
I mean its not probably new to some of you guys but I just found out about it. It was probably not added because the Ki-30 and Ki-32 would be functionally the same in the game but now theres a reason to add it specifically for Thailand. More CAS for Japan!

Was digging around and wtf, how did Thailand acquire 2 units of this supposedly secret German aircraft where only a total of 4 were ever built. Any more info on this Heinkel HD 43?

Maybe, but think similar to the American tree, they will want to keep the F-15 and F-16/F-2 line separate. And then at the very least have a third line for the Thai fighters, which could just be added after one of the 3 lines that currently aren’t being used beyond mid ranks

I wounder if they will ever do something to finish off the Japanese bomber line. It looks pretty sad just sitting there doing nothing:(

For ground it seems pretty straightforward tho. We have only 4 lines, so they can easily add a whole Thai line to the game without having to reorganize anything.
Personally, this is my point of view when writing feedback. I think Airtree should be inserted into the original research tree. To be able to research according to the type of aircraft in the line
Lineup from suggestion (There may be corrections in the future)

This is also a possible solution, but I’m still not entirely sure because it still means that two tree are still pretty pointless to grind if you look at where they end. Also where might the Gripen be added? In some ways it might be a side grade to later F-16’s, especially for CAS
Also don’t forget the late F-5’s Thailand has, in my opinion they deserve there own line basically
Oh, and the AV-8S and T-50

1930s Thailand has purchased a new fighter aircraft with a production patent. To replace the old fighter aircraft from the 1920s and to develop knowledge and abilities in aviation, maintenance, and construction of the Thai military. It has procured and purchased these aircraft to assess its ability to procure new fighter aircraft. which consists of
Bristol Bulldog
Boeing 100
Heinkel HD 43
Hawk2
Hawk3
Later, additional Hawk2 fighter aircraft were purchased and Hawk3 will be selected and received a production patent to enter mass production in the Royal Thai Air Force. Other fighter aircraft have been transferred to fighter training aircraft at the Royal Thai Air Force Flight School.

I hope it’s where they’ll put maritime partrol aircraft at some point P2V/P-2J, P-3C and P-1 all seem like they could finish up the line nicely.
I forgot that one was passed to devs not to long ago…
I don’t know if this is the right place for this question, but does anyone know if I can submit submarines as suggestions? I would be happy to file an I-400 or I-19
