yep hope they recognize all member states as an sub tree in the USSR tech tree tbh so we can get the oplot and other cool tank mods from other post ussr countries, also there is the alleged T-90M2 which is supposed to use a gearbox reverser like on the T-84 and T-14

Or giving them the T-80 just because they trialed it.
Trialed vehicles are BS, it’s like people get to own cars just because they had a test drive.
In my opinion, export vehicles should only be added if nations in questions signed a sale/lease/donation contract. Right now, Sweden’s T-80 is a fake vehicle.

Oh yeah, I’d forgotten about that one. Pretty absurd as well.

If it gets built, I bet they are going to reconsider this because it’s expensive or it will come in 2028
If it was just the Oplot-M I’d agree, but the Oplot-P (while not adopted) was made for Pakistan. It’s more akin to a prototype variant that wasn’t adopted.
For many non-major arms producing nations this is a sizable part of their unique vehicles, since unoque variants offered to their specifications by foreign countries are essentially their equivalent to the US/USSR idea of having a bunch of domestic companies compete with new developments or variants for a certain contract.
I can see how identical vehicles aren’t something you’d like to see, but for something like the Oplot-P I don’t see any place it should go besides the nation it was developed for.

Even the Thai green camos look different than this, so I think (hope) it’s a placeholder
Thai unicolor camos, darkest to lightest (might have missed some, but these are the common ones)
Sadly so far we’ve only seen them copy over Russian green for the Oplot and US green for the Stingray. At least for the Stingray it could just be the camo for the US tree but I’m not very confident in that anymore after seeing the Oplot. This would also mean the US Stingray uses the Thai model, so at this point I’m not sure if it would make it any better

Oh god, it’s going to be the JGSDF camos all over again.
for context Gaijin got both the Japanese OD and dark green-brown camouflages wrong for years

I looked at the stingray devblog again and it seems threres actually two different unicolor camos shown.
The one in the preview video also seems a lot closer to the camo seem on the leaked Thai Oplot.
What this means now is that the Stingray shown in most images of the devblog is meant to be the US Stingray, despite just being a copy of the Thai variants 3D model instead of any of the previous US based demonstrators.
But even beyond that this still means the Thai camo is inaccurate, being somewhere inbetween these two camos.
To me it seems like they made an overly saturated and slightly too bright version of the dark unicolor, which is surprising considering they also made a unique camouflage based on it that’s completely black.
Maybe they mixed up images of different camos as well, or they just didn’t want such a dark camouflage like their excuse for the German grey tone being so light.
I was told I’m looking into this way too much. My new guess for what it’s supposed to be is the regular Thai unicolor green that’s just slightly off the way WT camos are. We probably aren’t getting the dark one at all.
As the USA are also going to get the Stingray, i would assume that the green one is the US version, while the Video shows the Thai one.

Only 1 person ruined it for others, but we can’t discuss that here.
You’d really not want the Vt4. It is a very bad tank. Gaijin should actually make a real Vt4 instead of making up fake bad stats
China should get the vt4b if it is added
