Honestly im more interested in the Ito 012 NASAMs II. Proper unique system. Sure maybe not good but definitely unique
As always heres the current list of Nordic SPAA made by your local Danish Cope main
Also i know its probably been mentioned here before but for the SPAA for Japan the Chu Sam, does it have the same radar system as the Tan sam kai? Honestly that radar hurts to use so much so im hoping for wither some fixes or a better radar unit.
Also is the radar supposed to be so slow? It feels like it constantly drifts off target
It’s a different radar, but it’s very similar in setup.
Chū-SAM radar vehicle
Prototype radar vehicle based on the Isuzu SKW 464 (a predecessor to the SKW 475 chassis we see in game). Here it’s much easier to tell the difference in size.
Honestly I don’t think the radar is an issue, it’s Gaijins implementation of it.
It’s missing the 110° ESA search/track mode, which would allow the radar to be manually pointed at a set direction, where it wouldn’t lose line of sight to a tracked target unlike with the 360° search mode we only have now.
It also only has TWS mode in game, no proper search only mode. This means to turn a lock off the entire radar needs to be switched off, making it impossible to properly use the missiles datalink and LOAL functionality.
If those issues were fixed, the radar might actually be quite good, and I think the Chū-SAM would be the same.
Sadly that means the radar might be pretty bad if it’s implemented like the Tan-SAM radar…
I noticed that the driver’s camera is on the opposite side compared to the VT-4 model in the game.
Another difference between the early VT-4 and the more recent demonstration.
the point is, stab is usually turned off when the tank is moving outside the battle, so the top speed wont result it stab breakage. And in battle, them tanks usually dont run top speed.
yeah…thats true the only thing hold it back is the reload time (The Fastest in Chinese Tech-tree is VT5 which is 5s but it doesn’t do very well in Toptier match imo)
Pakistani Oplot-M is probably a better comparison, M1A2T is still operated by the Republic of China in the China techtree (not just People’s Republic of China).
The issue is really just with how badly subtrees are communicated in this game, where a techtree can hold multiple nations but is only named after one (by default at least). The name customization helped a bit, but that also includes nations from one-off premiums and still doesn’t properly communicate what nations actually make a tree, and internally still keeps the single default.
I think if it was more clear that it isn’t just the Japanese tree, but also the Thai tree, then this whole issue probably wouldn’t be there.
At least Japan is the only nation that doesn't have one-off non-techtree customization options, so it's only techtree nations. But this doesn't make it any less confusing when all others customization don't just represent the techtree nations and the game still internally calls it just Japan.
idk, I spawn max of 3 times in battle most of the time (Type 10/TKX/AA or again tank if I see my team fighting hard).
About VT4 and Oplot: I prefer countries have their own vehicles
USA-Abrums
GER-Leopards
RU- T tanks
JAP-Types 10s
CH-ZTZ and VT4
etc
Thailand is the main operator of the Oplot, with 49 Oplot-T compared to Ukraine having only 6 Oplot tanks in service.
There were even some unique features developed for Thailand, with an APU right of the engine and an A/C for the Thai climate.
The VT-4 is similar, where it is an export tank that isn’t even operated by China at all. Again Thailand was the first export customer, though not the only one this time.
Still it would be slightly unique, since they only use BTA-4 rather than DTC10-125, so it would be a bit worse than the Norinco demonstrator or any potential Pakistani version.
They also used FY-2 ERA from out of order VT-4 tanks on FV101 light tanks recently. While this isn’t directly about the VT-4, it is at least very interesting and a unique domestic use of its parts.
China doesn’t even operate the VT-4 and Thailand use almost 10x the amount of Oplots as Ukraine… both versions Thailand operates are unique Thai variants.
This is like saying that Thailand shouldn’t get the Stingray because a US company makes it- despite the fact only Thailand uses the Stingray and the US rejected it.
