Southeast Asian (ASEAN) Machinery Of War Discussion Thread

A-7E has optic guide bomb and thermal pod. You can do a lot with that.

i tried using a7 when playing harimau and eeehh…its slow af like cheaper is bombing with phantom. atleast can dodge something. And A7 sits in 10.7 not a fun br bracket

there is also F-5A with bullpup

Thats like 9.7 to 10.7 choice. Havent seen people using bullpups at all in any Nations. F5 would be no differ. Hell even i wouldnt use them. Rather dump 1000lbs bombs…just making more complicated.

Thats because its currently the only vehicle at that BR.

There are plenty of stuff to add around that 10.3-10.7, stuff like the gempita, base leo2a4, rapidranger, thats already a solid lineup even without the harimau (IFV, MBT, SPAA).

Helicopters we got sorted with the Mi-35M (+ there could be others from TH/MY i dont remember)

aircrafts if we need mavericks there are options too (hawk 108/109 / 208/209, T-50is etc.)

the potential is there for sure

A-4PTM is questionable for me. 9.3 because AIM-9P? secondly why would i use it over alpha jet 9.0 which does have CCIP/CCIR…seems like slight overkill with br.

They appear to have set the pilot view camera for the A-4PTM too low lmao

it is set in the same way as in every other jet:
directly infront of the sight/ hud

Boeing AH-6i light attack helicopters ordered by the Royal Thai Army have been delivered.

Time for a suggestion post?

Still would be a great addition to the tree there are some light heli pilots in the game who heli rush the correct way with them. (take out half the team)

there was a guy made a bug report for PTM about bomb CCIP but the person lodged the report didn’t do it properly (like grouping up multiple report into one and then create a new one but redirect the source to the first report he didn’t do it in proper way)

An Indonesian Air Force book stated that among the upgrades, TA-4J received WDNS (Weapons Delivery Navigation System).

so, the budget has been presented, but no mention of new AShM heli in it or anything major. Mostly just mentions OpEx side of the budget, awaiting for the budget pdf to be drop soon to look in detail

I think the budget of this year will continued focus on the procurement of anti-air systems

that’s already known since it is in the long term plan starting last year and it’ll be 1 mid range battery per year, but we still didn’t know which land based mid range SAM to be chosen, last update I heard was a survey on their future locations to be based at.

There a rumors week ago that said it will be Turkey Hisar system as ASELSAN announce they got an order from a anonymous buyer and what the anonymous buyer brought is quite similar to what Malaysia had see and tested.
