Hello, and welcome to my discussion of the inaccurate removal of thermal sights from the BTR-3E1 in the Thai subtree in Japan’s research tree.
I am talking about this as I am Thai-Irish and it disappoints me that a Thai vehicle is getting nerfed, let alone artificially.
And kind of unrelated to this topic, but Thailand looked for a different vehicle to the T-84 Oplot-T due to delivery issues, and decided on either the T-90S, K1A1 and the chosen VT4, meaning that the Royal Thai Army could have operated Russian tanks, along with having proposed ordering Su-30s in 2004.
Instead of this nerf to the thermals, I would recommend changing the number of Barrier ATGMs from 6 to 4 based off official information from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence as shown below (circled in red):
