Southeast Asian (ASEAN) Machinery Of War Discussion Thread

its classified as an attack aircraft though, would it get the bomber treatment?

Su-8, TIS MA and Tu-1 got it, so I don’t see why it shouldn’t.

And so far Gaijin classify it as bomber (afaik), and most of the B-26s are bombers as well.

EDIT: it is strike aircraft indeed as per Gaijin, but the point stands the same. It’s especially funny because the aforementioned planes have insane armament and are premiums

forgot to mention

Ive made a bug report for the B-26B, specifically about the SURA-D rockets

feel free to check it out here:

so, the current model also show too many pylons? seems like it can only carry 4 per wing, instead of 14

Theoretically it could carry more if you remove the gunpods

it seems it wasnt posted here yet, in case any of yous missed it, we have a much clearer look of the new Indonesian Mi-35M

Notable things :

  • different armament caliber and layout
  • smaller wing which results in reduced weapons pylons
  • fixed landing gears (non-retractable)
  • better targeting sight (with infrared)

This heli presumably came from Belarus, since the sensors suite are the same as their new Mi-35ms from a couple of years back.

Interestingly its sensors is not the same as the one in-game. In fact it seems to be a more modernized variant of the already modernized Mi-35M, seems very similar (or outright the same) as the Mi-24VM-3, which includes the L-370 DIRCM. This countermeasure system is also found on the in-game Mi-28NM

could also just save it incase they wanted to make it a premium

would be a good option for the barren rank 5 since it doesnt get missiles

Is there anything interesting of note about these two planes?

It is unfortunate that the Indonesian decals did not make it to the live patch

shafted as usual, no biggie

but maybe they just want to wait until there’s more ID aircrafts, since its the requirement to use said decals

(we only have 2, both is a premium, one is now limited-purchased only)

I quite surprise to this update, I thought the Harimau will be good but it turned out is just a trash; I thought Ca-27 is just another Sabre but it turned out is a more superior version of the Japan Sabre. TBH the Harimau is really a joke, a reload rate nerf light tank that shooting slightly better round and the armour can be pen by .50cal on side is 0.6 br higher the Type 16? Damn, I better use the Type 16…

I had a guess they might add TNI-AU Sabre as to complement or replace the F-40 JASDF? because now people realize the CA-27 were miles better than it

they fill the same role really, a light tank option for scouting in the top tier, but my main problem with the Type 16 was primarily its mobility , so having a tracked platform is real nice for gun stability and all that jazz

yeah survivability isnt that great but its a light tank, but its par for the course

its closest analog would be the 2s25m, and me personally, i love the sprut

yeah most probable i think, it has a good cas loadouts, and they love putting cas capable aircraft as premiums nowadays

Yeah, if they all staying at 9.7 then maybe I would use it, but it is 10.3 and already loss the 5s reload, then I don’t really think someone will bring it to 11.7 or just rise whole 9.7 to 10.3 just for it.

One thing I was wondering, the A-4PTM doesn’t have the Naval Aircraft role in game and therefore can’t spawn on carriers, did the A-4PTM irl lose its carrier capability (or didn’t have it in the first place) or is this just smth missing in game?

iirc they are Denavalized and they are basically refurbrised A-4C/L
The same thing with Indonesian A-4 which is basically Israeli Ayit
