Southeast Asian (ASEAN) Machinery Of War Discussion Thread

I think they didn’t necessarily mean it’s a subtree, but that it functions like one due to the separate PRC and ROC militaries.

While India isn’t exactly a good example, I still somewhat agree with the idea that China can very much get other subtrees outside of ASEAN, such as the often mentioned Pakistan, Bangladesh, North Korea, Iran, etc. That is why I think that at most China should receive Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia from ASEAN if needed, but not a full ASEAN subtree.

Nah, only singapore going to israel. Philippine to US and Vietnam to USSR. Or just cancel whole israel tree and merge it into US

This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.

just to hammer on this point, check out this comparison for the ground suggestions, left is Japan, Right is China

(the aircraft disparity is also present there but nowhere near as severe as the ground)

The worst thing is most of the domestic vehicles are inaccurate in their performance.

And due to the classified nature the job of having to prove to Gaijing of their capabilities all the more difficult.
Saw the ridiculously thick spall liners of PLZ05, hopefully one of many to come, hopefully.

problem is that its inherently a Gaijin issue, and can technically be solved, they just choose to introduce it as inaccurate as they were

but with Japan its more of a real life JSDF issue, and i dont think there’s many options left for modern-ish stuff, other than prototypes (I think)

Not my bug report, but there was a bug report made about the AV-8S’s RWR and I thought I’d post it here so it gains more traction so maybe it’ll be passed along soon.

Might as well put it here, here are some extremely rare images of the Indonesian Sherman, can anyone ID the gun there? its the M4A3E8 with the HVSS, but not exactly certain with the gun, it looks like a 105mm, can anyone confirm this?

Question for you guys.

I’ve been looking into the Malaysian CL-41G Tuban, and I’m asking if you guys know what armaments it had.

We are not sure about it either, there is not much about it available, which is why we exclude it in our ASEAN Aviation Sub-TT suggestion for now.

imo the gun looked stubby, so it’s gotta be the 105mm. Also, on the second image you could see a pintle MG for the loader. It looks like a water-cooled gun, and since at the time the standard rifle caliber for the Marines was .30-06, it could be a M1917 Browning. Obviously as a rifle-caliber MG, it won’t do much against ground vehicles and aircraft, but it’s still a unique modification.

EDIT: I saw an image of Indonesian Marines LVT with Vickers MG, so it could also be a Vickers MG. Tbh it’s hard to judge the model due to the grainy photo.

The CL-41G Tebuan could carry two 7.62mm gunpods and various bombs, napalms, and rockets.

Would be nice if there’s a Malaysian that could correct me here.

EDIT:
I also found this image of a Tebuan with what looks like a gunpod in the left wing’s inner pylon.

Spreading some love to our Timor-Leste friends, meet the NRTL Jaco-class Patrol Gunboat - serving with distinction in the Timor-Leste Defense Forces Naval Component since 2010. She is essentially a Type 062 class gunboat of the PLAN (NATO reporting name: Shanghai II) and is equipped with 2x 30mm Single Mount Guns and 2x 25mm in a Twin Mount (specific gun unknown). With a top speed of 30 knots, she actually has a different armament complement compared to the base Type 062 class gunboat.

Unfortunately, it seems that the 2006 East Timor Crisis left a deep scar on the Defense Forces and it seems the type is rusting away without access to crucial maintenance. Force 2020 still remains the blueprint and hope for the forces’ modernization to this day though.

They’ve yet to order them as far as I know but I’l include it in my Malaysian Ground Forces Sub-TT suggestion - We will also consider it in our future ASEAN Ground Forces Sub-TT suggestion.

Can the Thai F-16A also carry the AGM-65 triple launcher? I found a photo of a Thai F-16 (possibly ADF) pictured with what looks like a triple launcher
