Personally I think those tank that lose the tender or concept vehicle shouldn’t added as tech tree vehicle but the premium or squadron vehicle

I am against trialed vehicles, unless trailed tanks/planes/ships in question were built specifically for Malaysian military, e.g. Object 478DU8.
Thus something like CV90105, Wiesel and so on that were not designed/modified for Malaysian use specifically shall not enter the game because the very one (and last) exception was Sweden with its Mi-24, AH-64 and T-80U.

I think those also shouldn’t be exception
Agreed, I’d say those should be disabled for research/purchase like devs did R2Y2 and replaced with more appropriate stuff once it becomes available, like Norwegian/Danish tanks/helis that were actually in service.
The Wiesel is an interesting example because Indonesia did get a unique variant of it made for them, the BTM 208. The only issue with that is that the 12.7mm armament wouldn’t be enough for the game.
This is why I’d see the Wiesel 1A4 that was planned alongside it would be a reasonable stand-in for this interesting bit of history (and the closest the Wiesel got to export success). Personally I still wouldn’t see it as a techtree vehicle, but it could be nice for a battle pass or event.
Something historically interesting that brings unique gameplay to the tree, but also won’t lock players that miss the event out of playing it since it’s already in the German tree.
Either that or a BTM 208 at 1.3 (faster M2A2 with better turret setup), but I’m sure people might not want to see such a modern vehicle this low.
personally I think its fine to be added if it fills a gap, im also fine with it not being added because the AMX-10P Marine does the exact same job, and that thing was actually in service

Sounds like a nice folder material to SUB-I-II, actually looking forward to it
probably gonna be a full next step vehicle rather than a folder since its a full 1 BR above the SUB
if anything this’ll probably be a folder
SBS LT w/ 20mm rh202
open top, manually operated, limited traversal

I wouldn’t say the same considering the Wiesels main thing is being a much smaller and faster scout vehicle with access to high quality thermals at 7.3, which is something the AMX-10P is far less specialized for.
I’m surprised the Wiesel is even classed as SPAA in game when its closest equivalent in role, the XM800T (with better elevation), isn’t.
Still I’d agree it’s probably more of an event or premium vehicle option than something that needs to be in the techtree. For the techtree I think it’s best to set it up with actual service vehicles and more unique developments instead.

A more unique alternative would be the Anoa PK20 Prototype
The only thing lacking is its size, but its a rapid light tank w/ thermals capable of scouting targets and gtfo real quick
Gun is the same as the Ratel 20, the Denel GI-2 (can be seen from its flash hider/muzzle brake)
sub par armament, decent mobility, great optics, probably at 6.3-7.3?

I’ve seen it before but I didn’t notice it had thermals. This does seem like a far more interesting option for Indonesia considering it’s actually an Indonesian vehicle.
For the BR I’d say maybe 6.3/6.7 without APDS since it would be missing the ATGMs compared to the 6.7 Ratel 20, but also gain thermals and have a more mobile chassis. If it gets DM63 belts I could see it being placed at 7.3

There is this thing Malaysia had received for testing by the Germans:
It would be nice too see in the sub tree + Germany.

Pretty sure this is fake though sadly…
Also when the Harimau comes out, I hope we can get to see some Philippine livery when they presented it to the Philippines for our Light Tank Acquisition Program (its also literally just green all over so its easily doable). For context, Mt. Apo is the highest mountain in the Philippines. They also sent an Anoa 6x6 APC as well.

Not sure is it a concept or something that really being built, because our government really like to keeping those document secret (maybe there are many undertable trading a.k.a corruption during those evaluation process)

Antasena Tank Boat has seemingly changed hands from the Indonesian Army to the Navy, and they brought with them genuinely one of the worst looking color palette ive ever seen to grace an Indonesian Navy vessel
even the desert camo it had before looks nicer than whatever this garbage scheme is

how cool
A technology tree formed by a multi-country alliance seems like a good plan, but Gaijin still needs to carefully consider the possible political sensitivities.
