The ever changing world...This is why you just can't submit a piece of equipment and forget about. I have many times in the past just simply posted a couple of refs. indicating that "X" country received "R" equipment sometimes a couple of years or more later. I have done so regarding this Indonesian tank deal. There was some comprise involved to account for the MBT chosen much of related to the fact most of the information we had pointed to the
LEO 2A6, specifically German
UNIT 033. Due to the political nature of this deal little information was out there, but, that being said,
German UNIT 033 did fit the bill for the upgraded
LEO-2RI,
because they received the
LEO 2A4+ which was/is brought up to the
2A6 standard and with the improvements on that tank the
UNIT 033 still works best.
This was submitted in
Patch Post #2 for the 2012/2013 Campaign 18 February 2013. It is in both the
Patch Post and MBT (Though at a later date.) Threads if further information is desired.
MBT Section/Item A3.
I hope the links are still good, it's late and I'm
under the weather right now and working still-
SO-really don't feel like checking that at this time.
I have only kept up on this issue as is provided from my files below and hopefully in the order I got them.

What is clear is that Indonesia
DID NOT chose all the options Associated with the
LEO REVOLUTION. The last ref speaks for many in that regard so by example you can chose to have
either the L44 or L55 MG. Again
UNIT 033 was
chosen because the "RI"
was to have the L55.
Everyone I'm spent right now so I have to leave it here. Have a Good Night/or Morning!
