I do understand your concern. As stated at the beginning of the discussion; If the representation of Chinese Vehicles in Thai sub-tech tree under Japanese tech tree is unacceptable and causes quite a concern for those who deem it as offensive, I won’t ask for those vehicles (Chinese vehicles) to be included under Thai sub-tech tree, but to appear in Chinese Tech Tree as its premiums.
I am grateful for your input and opinion, here is Thai VT-4
And why is it unacceptable?
Alongside Thai Sub-Tech tree, the Air Battle Over Lampang map would also be a nice addition to the update.
On December 11, 1944, 9 USAF P-51s and 7 P-38s conducted an Air raid on Thai-Japanese Northern airbases and supply lines from the Allied bases in Yunan, southern China, forcing the outnumbered Thai pilots to take off 5 of their Ki-27 to the fight above the sky of Lampang.
According to the Thai source, outnumbered Thai pilots were able to down around 4 P-51s. On the contrary, the US Source stated that there was only a single P-51 downed as a result of the raid.
I hope to see perfect trees in Thailand soon, but cars imported from China will certainly not be acceptable to some people. However, what exactly does it mean to bring up history and politics and deny it? Look at Finland (Swedish tree) and Russia, France and Germany. I’m just making a fuss about C&P (lol)
I think these vehicles should be just as acceptable as the Chinese Ki-43 is for example.
However under the condition that China also receives their own vehicles, ideally sooner, but if not at least the same update as Thailand.
I also think it would be strage to copy the best Chinese vehicles. So if, for example, the VT-4 would be added China should receive or already have the VT-4A1.
Other than that I see no issue with these additions compared to for example Russian vehicles spread to western trees like Sweden or Britain, or even the US vehicles in the predominantly PRC top ranks of the Chinese tree.
So as long as the addition is done fairly, the Chinese vehicles used by Thailand should not be an issue.
Which is irrelevant since these are export vehicles in service with Thailand. Why would export vehicles not be added when everyother nations export equipment is in other nations not to mention that China themselves use Japanese equipment why should they be special?
China should get those vehicles yes but if Thailand is added to Japan there is no reason to not add them as part of Thailand service equipment.
I really like this idea (including the Koh Chang Naval Battle). Let’s talk about many battlefields in Thailand that can be used to make maps as well, such as
Just the 5-hour Invasion of Thailand by Japanese alone can be translated into at least 3 maps already, 2 Ground maps and one Air map.
*Sky Over Bangkok
The Japanese air force attacked Don Muang Royal Thai Air Force Base, which was defended by the Thai air force. The Thais lost six fighter planes to a numerically superior Japanese force. -Wiki on Japanese invasion of Thailand
What about glorious American equipment in Chinese tree then? Besides China can get VT-4A1
I think when the bombing of Bangkok comes, we’ll definitely see a full team of ki-43 RTAF skins. 😂😂😂
I’m not sure about the weapons that are installed on the H-34 all the way up to the S-58T. because RTAF used H-34 and S-58T as a tactical air transport helicopter, used in search and rescue operations.
Thai air froce has it’s tha F-16A. Would that replace tha AJ in Japan air tree?
I hope not, because it would rob the opportunity for the newcomers or those who haven’t gotten the F-16AJ yet from obtaining it.
By the way, there’s one thing that I would love to know regarding Gaijin implementing new vehicle; Do they have to ask for the nations or the manufacturers for their consents/licenses? Like, Idk much about the inner working, but dealing with the governments must be quite a hassle, not including the “cut” some governments might ask for having their vehicles in War Thunder. Sometimes, I wonder if the reason why the packs/premium vehicles are quite expensive is because they have to share their revenue with the license owners or the gov’t owning the rights to those vehicles, albeit they might be the copy and paste from other tech trees.

Personally, it may not replace the F-16AJ, but the F-16A Block 15 OCU (Peace Naraesuan I,II) will be added to this line and will be in Br.11.7 due to the matter of AIM-7 with no information on its use. Jobs in the Royal Thai Air Force Therefore, there may still be an F-16AJ to compensate for this lack.
I just came here to show my support for a Siam-Japan tech tree and just a pinch of other SEA nations on there as well (like China getting Vietnam). Makes a lot more sense historically and honestly Korea should be a separate tech tree like Israel in my opinion (but only if the Siam-Japan tech tree gets going). It can be unlocked from rank 4 US, USSR or Japan and it makes sense, Korea only had tanks post-WW2.
Please make this work. And maybe we can just get the Kaplan
They should add an United Korea tech tree instead of adding both koreas as sub trees
Some pictures from Royal Thai Airforce Museum. I am planning to go there some day and might take a lot of pictures for the discussion and thread.
If I have made any mistake, please correct me (^^)
I believe you must definitely visit the Air Force Museum. And of course I’ll make your dreams come true (there’s The National Memorial nearby if you want to see more Ha-Go tanks, Vickers 6 ton tanks and more. I will also take you on a sightseeing trip.)
