African armor / War Thunder

Many people believe that African countries aren’t exactly on the forefront, when it comes to innovation in armoured warfare. It’s not 100% true, of course, but most powers of the region do rely on older tanks and IFVs. Not so, South Africa, - this nation has a great many locally-built high-tech vehicles that we’re going to discuss today!

A couple of serious corrections. 1) The Ratel began production in 1975 until 1993, not the late 1960s. 2) The Ratel was employed against SWAPO and FAPLA, not UNITA which were South Africa's allies. 3) The Eland 90s role as an escort was given to the Ratel 90 as the Eland 90 got stuck and couldn't keep up with the Ratels. 4) The Olifant upgrade took the form of the Mk1B in the mid 1980s and Mk2 in 2004.

Hey Gaijin, glad you added ZA tanks to the game! Was thinking on how to expand on the tree and want to voice them. New vehicles could be but aren't limited to; The Rooivalk (Attack Helicopter/Gunship), G6 Rhino (Mobile Artillery/Anti Tank) and two potential ATGM Carrier variants of the Rooikat. Seen other comments mention low rank ground stuff and even jets, so there's probably even more options. But I really think the Ratel's suffer the most out of the entire line, and it would be nice to see them buffed. They currently don't have 4 man crews, fixing that would be a nice start, but maybe filling the rest of the seats in the back would help a lot for survivability (swapping out crew). Also, on that note, adding a crew share feature to all APCs in game, similar to the FPE assist for light tanks, would be neat! These are just ideas, don't expect them to go anywhere.

[@mikezog1030]

The jets include the Cheetah which was an upgrade to a Mirage that was very similar to the Israeli Kfir fighter. In fact I think Israel stole the plans for the Mirage from France and then shared the tech with SA.

There are quite a few different dialects of how South African vehicles are called, just as there are in England, and I only offer generic South African pronunciations, which might well not do justice to your language, but I try! 🙏🏻
