The Rooikat 105 is a further development of the South African Rooikat armored fighting vehicle, developed in the mid 1990s with the intention of upgunning the design’s base model. Soon, War Thunder tankers will have the chance to add this South African gem to their in-game collection, following its arrival with update 1.97!
Briefly: An upgunned version of the Rooikat AFV, featuring improved firepower thanks to the presence of a larger 105mm main gun.
Rooikat 105, tank destroyer, premium, Britain, rank VI
Pros
- Perfect combination of mobility and firepower
- Thermal vision
- Premium bonuses
Cons
- Lightly protected
- Rooikat 105 tank (Rank 6 Great Britain) - available after 1.97 update;
- Premium account for 15 days;
- 2000 Golden Eagles;
- Pre-order bonus: unique "Caracal" decal;
- Pre-order bonus: unique “Iron Claw” title.
After the Rooikat 76 entered production in the early 1990s, South African engineers continued developing the vehicle in an effort to further expand upon its capabilities. As such, the engineers decided to, among other minor changes and improvements, fit the Rooikat with a larger 105mm cannon, thus creating the Rooikat 105 in the process.
Development of the Rooikat 105 was completed in 1994 and a single prototype was built. However, after demonstrating the vehicle to the SANDF, the military decided not to procure the improved version of the Rooikat, given that they were already more than content with the base model of the vehicle.
As a result, the Rooikat 105 was subsequently offered on the export market in an effort to secure orders for the vehicles. However, despite its 105mm cannon and compatibility with most NATO rounds, the Rooikat 105 failed to attract the interest of any potential foreign customers. In the end, only a single prototype of the Rooikat 105 was constructed, with the vehicle never entering production due to lacking demand.
In War Thunder, the Rooikat 105 will be a new rank VI premium vehicle, available for purchase to British tankers, following the release of the upcoming major update 1.97. Being in essence a response to tankers who weren’t impressed enough by the standard Rooikat 76, the Rooikat 105 takes all the qualities from its predecessor and combines them with a larger and punchier 105mm cannon, while earning your more rewards for each action in combat thanks to its premium status!
As already mentioned, the most notable difference of the Rooikat 105 as opposed to the Rooikat 76, which tankers had a chance to familiarize themselves with since the release of the previous update, is its larger 105mm GT-7 cannon. Comparable in ballistics to some of the other nations’ counterparts, the GT-7 is capable of firing most of the common 105mm NATO rounds, ranging from various sub-caliber to chemical rounds.
However, all these upgrades do come at somewhat of a price, unsurprisingly. For instance, due to the mounting of a larger gun and slightly increased dimensions of the hull, the Rooikat gained additional weight, while its power plant remained the same.
As a result, tankers won’t just have a bigger cannon to shoot with, but also a greatly expanded ammunition selection with the Rooikat 105, as opposed to its predecessor. Furthermore, aspiring owners of this machine may look forward to the addition of thermal imaging sights on the Rooikat 105, which will make target acquisition in both day and night-time conditions easier and will open up more tactical options in combat.

So will this be at 9.3 like the Type 16 & Centauro ROMOR, since it is quite the same to both with the depth of technical detail we have in the game, or will the Brits get another handout like they do with stabilizers at 6.7? 105mm gun, thermals, faster than both, about the same armor. So, I hope this is 9.3, or that both the Type 16 and Centauro ROMOR get dropped down to the Rooikat 105 BR.
I miss the 3d decals that came with preorders
Game developer spends 2+ years and millions of dollars in development to release a new, unique game for $60. Gaijin: screw that, let's release 4-6 "premium" pixel vehicles 3-4 times a year for the same price. All we have to do is copy technical info of vehicles that already exist as much as possible, rest we can fudge, so that new vehicle can be OP for a couple of months (read: incentive to buy). We can hide behind the "IT'S FREE TO PLAY" excuse. Yes, very creative.
Comrade, don't forget to buy premium account as well.
Another patch, another P2W vehicle. At least at this rate with all the modern stuff Gaijin keeps adding they will run out sooner rather than later and actually be forced to go back and fill in the gaps in the tech trees...
Remember when premium packs used to be $10-30? Looks like that more modern premium stuff will have to cost $100 LMAO.
Why bother to fix the game and the grind when you can release 4-6 premium packs for the price of AAA games every 2-3 months? Don't forget, get your premium time today. Gaijin, when was the last time you even looked at your trash matchmaker and tried to fix it (or is everything just peachy)?
59.99. The greed is staggering. Who can you put this out there and not feel ashamed? I've put a lot of money into this game down the years but I've stopped putting any in now. You can buy something like the whole of Dead Red Redemption 2 and have change in your pocket for one premium vehicle. Just stop it.
I mean premium tanks are just moving more and more towards being better and not so much just different. You can buy a Type 74, or buy a premium one that's better, or a Leopard A1A1 or a premium one that's better.
Oh boy! More premiums that are superior to tech tree counterparts! How exciting?
Will the M1A2 get an upgrade modification for the commanders M2 browning on a high elevation remote controlled stand?
Stop adding new vehicles and start fixing the game.
