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.

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

Wait? A tracked vehicle capable of 105 kph top speed?
generally thats the consensus, would it hit that speed? probably not, do I think its feasable? ehh… maybe.
I mean it could be, since its mainly supposed to be for recon, it’s very light and relatively small compared to its contemporary +the rubber tracks as well, and it’s supposed to be airdroppable

the company is also known for making really light vehicles, like the P6 ATAV, so i would say this area is their specialty

@BalticSAS fsir enough got deleted cause ground talk in air thread.
U got any sources for a 2a8 in Singapore?
Because until it happens it is not set in stone.
Look at italy ,everyone expected them to get 2a8s, just for it to fall into water and them getting KF51s instead.
You missed the point, I was speaking about the potential of their vehicles in a future subtree and there is a hugely mysterious amount of contradicting evidence, half claims they did receive 2A7 standard tanks and half claim otherwise, however they are in talks with KMW to purchase more of the 2A8 spec regardless of if they received any 2a7s or not, and italy declined the 2a8 because they got too greedy and wanted to make huge changes to it.
Back on topic I still believe that Malaysia and Vietnam/myanmar belong in china, as a bare minumun for as far as southeast asian nations go, the rest can go to japan besides singapore, which is a black sheep. Although my overarching opinion is that ASEAN should be divided between china and japan so then neither side misses out
sooo you dont got any sources but just rumours etc
and italy wanted to keep capability to build tanks and to have parts from their own country / knowledge transfer. It is not greedy. Norway gets to build theirs as well.
It is that the overall planes werent able to fit together.
Still end of the day right now overall thailand propably is a better addition compared to SG.
While SG has a lot of great stuff, it still has potentiell left which isnt proven
I’d actually say Singapore is the most clearly “western” ASEAN nation next to maybe the Philippines.
They only operate a single vehicle with easzern tech, that being their own modernized M113A2 with license produced Igla missiles.
I hope so as well, though arguably China has options outside of ASEAN as well, such as Bangladesh, Pakistan and North Korea.
So I hope Japan would receive the 5 founding ASEAN nations, while China can still receive other ASEAN nations like Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar.
