Not all Post Yugoslav countries are neutral; Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia are in NATO.

The rest I can fully understand the dissatisfaction, but Thailand gave Japan some much needed CAS platforms.
But yeah most subtrees and any new tech trees need to either add vehicles/modifications unique to them or if they do use another nations vehicles, add ones not in game (E.g China getting the gladiator MK1 which doesn’t appear in the UK tree).

Fair enough. Still, they don’t exactly wage wars and are very diplomatically active on both ends of the world

China getting variants unique only to them fills up a lot…Unique He-111, Gladiator, modified I 15, some indigenous projects etc… as for Thai Subtree, now one of the Japanese ranks is mostly copy paste

As you say though, I also doubt any large Balkan player base would be against Yugoslav tech tree having Serbian, Slovene, Bosnian and Croatian vehicles.

I dount anybody would be against that. If you are from a former yugo country your only options are yugo tree or a soviet premium (which in itself is as stupid as it gets.

Players with a vested interest in yougoslavia can overlook the fact that most vehicles were not original designs. I just want it because it IS Yugo. It is part of my countries history represented in game.

Some, not most. A modification is still an indigenous design.

The problem is that it is NOT Yugo if it is Copy Paste… Same as it is not really China in Chinese tech tree

The Patria AMV XP, fitted with the brand-new Mangart 30 RCWS developed by Slovenian company Valhalla, was unveiled today during Slovenian Armed Forces Day. The turret is armed with a 30x173 mm autocannon, a 7.62 mm machine gun, and Spike anti-tank missiles. It is expected to enter service with the Slovenian Army alongside the Mangart 25 RCWS. The overall configuration closely resembles the Croatian Patria BOV-30L.

Interestingly I can not find Mangart 30 on Valhalla’s website. Fun new unique variant I suppose. Otherwise what Br you think this would get?

Their website hasn’t been updated yet, likely because the turret was only revealed yesterday. However, they did post about it on their LinkedIn profile. In my opinion, it would be placed at br 10.7, just like the Vilkas, as the two are functionally the same.

It looks very interesting. I would like to see something like this in a game.

What I find interesting is that they do not mention any missiles, I do not doubt that they can mount them but even on Linkedin they did not mention it.

You are right, I also couldn’t find any mentions of missiles or latest RCWS specifications. However the launcher on top of the turret indicates the ability to launch FnF missiles and considering that the Slovenian army uses Spikes they are the most likely candidate. Additionaly I found a Ministry of Defense tender from March 2024 that includes Mangart 30 RCWS and its strict requirements. Among them is the ability to launch Spike LR/LR2.

PS
I didn’t mention it in my post but the turret can optionally be eqippped with a modular launcher for four loitering drones which was shown next to the vehicle.
