Both of the images of M48A5T2s, easiest way to differentiate M48A5T1 and T2 is commander’s cupola; M48A5T1 has M19 Cupola while T2 has low profile cupola.
M48A5T1 Note the Cupola
M48A5T2
That is a Canadian Leopard not 1T.

Do you guys think Gaijin will take this serious and add it? i dont know much about them but as far as i know they usually dont give a shi about their community since they didnt make repairs and fpe free in game. if they add this tech tree i will sure grind it, i really want to play the modernized m48 and m60 and M113 modifications also the Altay and those FNSS lights look cool

Lastly, it had 700 thousand active Turkish players in 2022. This number is twice as much in War Thunder 2025 so it can be added

Well I should’ve posted Leopard 1Ts too, a little late but hey.

If this happens, i won’t grind the Turkish tech tree because i can’t wait :D I will pruchase all of those vehicles including air tree. I am trying to reach Gaijin admins here; Guys i know you mates are adoring to money, so i am telling you all of the Turkish players will buy toptier premiums no matter it’s cost don’t worry, i can swear but i can’t prove it until you guys bring all those spectacular vehicles.

7.0 sub-Vehicle maybe we implent a Azo-Kazhak Sub-Tree Like britain with its African mix sub-Tree
BMC and Roketsan make their modernization on this green one is BMC sand color is ROKETSAN and Turkish Army chose both’s good sides such as Roketsan’s easy re fit era solution and BMC apc with sensor kits and that is you mentioned is about final production program
its done and its on production

Eh we’ve scrapped Kazakh Sub-Branch since Kazakhstan went with Terrex 8x8 based ( which was not even part of tender) vehicle instead of Arma and likely Tulpar is out of picture. There is no need for Sub-Branch to include them into Tech Tree. Much of the vehicles which will be integrated into tree directly.
Only ROKETSAN’s solution were green lighted as emergency program for 81 tanks which later reduced to 40 tanks as Leopard 2A4T1; albeit BMC were awarded with Leopard modernisation there has not been any update and as far as I remember BMC’s deal were even before ROKETSAN’s, I doubt BMC is still in program.
I doubt that. Leopard 2A4T1 is the only solution accepted into service, later it is announced Leopard 2A4 included into TİYK Programme. Remaining 2A4 is likely to be the one @Flyexz posted with T1 Armor Package and ASELSAN sub-systems.
That being said, I actually would love to see Leopard 2A4 with T-Armor (Altay’s armor package), but from the looks of it, it will be T1. I expected remaining Leopards to be upgraded with state-owned firms without ant third part like M60T1.
Although we do not have exact information, this package seems to have:
- T1 Armor Package (Slightly Different)
- VOLKAN 200/120 Fire Control System
- AKKOR Active & Passive Protection System
- LİAS 400 Tank Laser Warning Receiver System
- GÖREN 100 or GÖREN 200 Driver’s Vision System
- KARTALGÖZÜ 200 Commander’s/Gunner’s Sight System
- YAMGÖZ 100 or YAMGÖZ 200 360° Situational Awareness System

South Korea is more logical, at least the player base is large

I would also add South Korea, as Turkey can produce the Altay (K2) and the T-155 Firtina (K9) from South Korea under license. These two Vehicles Are almost the Same but with slightly different optics and Systems

These statements are wrong. Altay has elements from K2 such as the main cannon and armor scheme, other than that it is completely built by Otokar & BMC. Same goes for T-155 Fırtına, subsystems such as fire control system and the auto loader are from K9, other than that is again a domestic MKEK product.

Wasn’t the Altay supposed to be the tank for the Turkish army? Why did a new variant appear? We were talking to some Turkish acquaintances and we thought that it could be the modernization for Chile as well, perhaps for both countries.

altay amt k2 panther is similar but its armor structure is very different also k2 panther is 50 tons while altay is 65 tons

That’s still the case, Altay procurement still continues but rather in slow fashion. Turkish Armed Forces is one of the biggest Leopard 2A4 for users, around 330 Leopard 2s in is service currently. 40 of them are in Leopard 2A4T1 configuration and rest in base model 2A4s. So it is only logical to bring them to moderns standard especially since the know-how is there.
Base Leopard 2A4s are showing their age as they’ve received zero upgrades during their service life and it become apparent in Syrian operations. Turkey has been planning to modernise its Leopard 2A4s since the procurement (see Leopard 2A4NG) and its finally becoming a reality.
Well it would be similar considering main sub-system contractor is ASELSAN for both projects. Phase I of Chilean Leopards are not planned to receive T1 Armor Package as far as we’ve seen, maybe it would be incorporated in Phase II. Also from what we’ve seen, Chilean Leopards are to receive different electro-optics, at least CITV is different.
That is not entirely true. Turkey indeed received technology transfer for both Altay and Fırtına, but they are far from being license produced vehicles. Both of the vehicles evolved from K2 and K9 but they are very much different, especially Altay. Altay is more of Europeanised version of K2 with indigenous systems; pretty much everything except for the power pack, this included important systems such as cannon, armor, electro-optics and fire control as well as “minor” parts such as Insulated Body Ammunition Rack, Tracks, Turret Drive System and Fuel and Hydraulic Pumps.
I would prefer a United Korean Korean Tech Tree to be honest. In a Sub-Tree you can have limited amount of vehicles thus you cannot really see the progress and evolution of unique vehicles. Instead of throwing lets say K2 to top tier, you could start from XK2 to its final form in proper tree.

Yet again, its been quite a while since we’ve update the Turkish Ground Forces Tech Tree but here we are with a brand new update but this time it’ll be a little different then earlier ones. Instead of
an updated Ground Forces Tech, this time we’ve come up with showcase of Turkish Defence Sector to show capabilities and flavour of possible Turkish Ground Forces Tech Tree.
In this update we’ve covered armaments that are relevant in War Thunder such as tank cannons, machine-guns and automatic grande launchers. We’ve focused on indigenous products and some license products that has been part of the production for quite sometime and used extensively. So let’s get into the Weaponry Section of Turkish Defence Industry:
