  1. A few corrections/additions:
    The VN-1 has more than just a 30mm cannon. It also has a 35mm automatic grenade launcher and an HJ-73 ATGM launcher.
    Thailand has begun upgrading their M163s with the IMI Super Vulcan upgrade kit. This gives it essentially all the features of the Machbet, just without the Stinger pod.
    As a replacement for the Commando V-150 armored cars, Thailand has begun using the BTR-3E equipped with the Cockerill CSE 90LP turret. This is still equipped with a 90mm gun, but it can now fire APFSDS and features all the modern sensors and sights you'd expect.
    Thailand tested an upgrade package for the M41 from Germany called the M41GTI in 1986, but they did not adopt it. The GTI package added thermals, an LRF, a digital computer, a stabilizer, a new coaxial machine gun, a new engine (more efficient, lower horsepower and top speed), improved suspension, and sideskirts.
    The M425 is a Thai-designed SPH consisting of a locally produced 105mm M425 howitzer mounted to the bed of a Kia KM500 heavy truck.

    You can find suggestion posts for each of these vehicles with details on the forums!

  2. 4:42 Maybe, they could always do a Eastern European tree with the Ukrainian armor being added as a sub tree but that’s probably wishful thinking since Gaijin is more interested in copy and pasting tanks.

  3. I had an interesting dream once. It was about a book on the minor Axis powers of WWII that featured a tank Thailand had made before the war called the Type 86, which was a reverse-engineered Chi-Ha with a new, larger turret. The 57mm gun had long since been replaced with a tank gun based on the Type 90 75 mm field gun.

    The book had said that Thailand had built between 20 to 30 of these tanks before WWII started, and that they saw a bit of action along the border with Thailand and Burma (At the time part of the British Raj) sometime in June 1944. One was lost to a Matilda II and one ran into a river and was abandoned. The book also said that three were preserved: One at Bovington, one at Kubinka, and one outside the Parliamentary building in Bangkok.

  4. So for this video I decided to switch to a different editing software which is part of the reason this video took a little bit longer to make. I also added subtitles/notes in certain parts of the video, but they seem to have been removed during rendering for some reason which is why certain parts look a bit wierd. Hopefully the quality of next video will be good again, but for now keep with it, thnx
