XCB-01 - BMP-1 Vietnamese's brother.

It be more of a event vehicle to China or USSR, it wouldn’t matter if they needed it or not, it simply doesn’t fit in Japan, that’s all.

well Thailand either uses Japanese equipment from WW2, or mostly western equipment in the Cold War, so it makes sense for Thailand to be a subtree of Japan more so than for Vietnam

By that logic, the Viet Minh also used captured Japanese equipment during the First Indochina War. Currently, Japan is also one of Vietnam’s most important economic and strategic partners.

Man, I understand your logic, but HELL NO! XCB-01 is not suitable for Japanese tree play style. I rather put IN ASEAN tree or even USSR/China tree. Japan tree is only for Thailand and S.Korean vehicles. From a Vietnamese perspective. And this vehicle just the first stage prototype, its data has not been public yet. And the info you give just a guess.

Honestly i don’t expect gaijin to added it to the JP tt either, but that will probly be answered when they added the T-54M3, heck they could even make an ASEAN tt. Regarding this being a prototype, yes ik and i will try to keep this page updated as more information got out.

Phong Kong T-34 already in China, so Vietnamese vehicles probs go to china.

Soviets already have a lot of vehicles. Also the one in Sov tree is premium

+1 But i don’t think this is a vehicles for Russian or China.

  • China has a lot more interesting stuff then this and the relationship between them is not “warm” like Cambodia/Thailand so might trigger parts of player base.

  • Russia in other hand, too many vehicles.

  • For Japan, sure, it’s can be an option since Gaijin said more SA vehicles will came to Japan.

  • Another option is Israel as a niche option.

Either for Japan or USSR

Historically Vietnam and China has never really like each other so adding a Vietnamese tank there isn’t really good, the Phòng Không T-34 is an exception i guess since it used NORINCO type 65 and a Soviet T-34 chassis hench why they added it to both of the tech tree.
Yes ik that Soviets alr have a bunch of vehicles, that why i also added an option for an ASEAN subtree in JP

Well its just me who wants to play this vehicle. I play Chinese tree but not japanese, so I wont be abot to play it if it is in JP tree

Theres already a Vietnamese vehicle in China, it should go there.

That vehicle is also made out of Chinese produced weapons and chassis.

Vietnam sub tree samsung hyundai kia perfect

Yes but mainly because the Phong Kong T-34 is a modification done by the Chinese under the behalf of North Vietnam

I understand, but as I said I just wanna play this vehicle without grinding through the JP tree

NOT TRUE.
Fact:
PHONG KHONG T-34 was a derivatives of the T-34 tank. And it might come from Russia and Chinese didn’t touch it.

P/s: Funny enough I will wait for gaijin to add the T-34-85 with the S-60 57mm. :D

Would make a great squadron vehicle for China. i don’t think it fits in TT due to niche origin and TT saturation. Alternatively event vehicle or BP is 2nd best option.

The Phong Khong T-34 uses twin Type 65 autocannons, Chinese license-built versions of the Soviet 61-K 37mm AA gun. If this vehicle was Russian, it would’ve used the original 61-K guns instead. This means that it has to be either of Chinese or Vietnamese manufacture, not Russian.
