OK,that’s right.
However, I really can’t imagine what use the VT4 could possibly have - its performance in the tech tree of its country of origin is already bad enough.
What does it have to do with China? If it comes, it should go to Russia, not China

The VT4 in Thailand has a weaker engine and it’s optical systems are inferior to the top-tier configurations of its country of origin. Furthermore, it lacks APS, and its explosive reactive armor is FY2 ,not FY4.
Okay, that’s why the battle rating system exists. It would just be a lower BR.

But sometimes, it’s quite amusing to see tanks from the 1990s battle against those from the 2010s.
Okay? Historical matchmaking is not relevant to the topic of this thread.

Another thing is that if something is very dominant at a low rating, it will soon be moved to an excessively high rating in the next update, with the original lineup disrupted.
This is likely happened on vt4.
Yes that’s how the battle rating system works for every single vehicle in the game, what’s the problem? And you just made the claim that the existing VT4A1 performs poorly and that the export Thai VT4 is inferior in several key aspects so why would you also believe that it would be uptiered? You’re contradicting yourself.

It definitely should be added to the Soviet tree as well.
How about a compromise? The Thai VT-4 isn’t added to either the Japanese or Chinese tech tree. Instead, the Japanese TT receives an Indonesian or Singaporean Sub TT on top of the Thai one, providing extra MBTs such as the Leopard 2RI or the Leopard 2SG. Might even solve the issues that’ll show up if the VN-1C gets added.

Just add the VT-4, but Japan still could get a second sub tree your right

Except this screws over Thai players who just want to play their vehicles.

Just like how Britain can get both South African and Indian, Japan can also have multiple nations to complement it.
Perhaps another ASEAN state with close ties with Japan? Their vehicles would complement Thai and Japanese vehicles such as the T84 and VT4.
Even with Thailand I doubt the vehicle count could rival the major nations so more seems welcome.

And adding the M1A2T to the Chinese tree will ruin the experience for a lot of people too.
Hell I think there are also Russian players who’s experience is “ruined” by Japan getting the Thai Oplot while they aren’t getting the Ukrainian one (not that I care much about them, but that is a different topic).
You can make a whole list like that.
Absolutely, I think there’s a good case to be made for Japan having a few Sub TTs. There’s a lot of neat ASEAN stuff floating around that would be cool to see added atop the Thai vehicles. Help balance out lineups and fill gaps.
