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.

wow another top tier prem thats better than the tree version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And therefore has a higher BR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)
TinyTinkerTank, Imagine the Leo A1A1 being the same BR as the L44 for, well, a really really long time. Don't expect a better version of something to be higher BR, ESPECIALLY a premium.
How nice! Another high tier pay to win crutch vehicle for $60! Taken strait from the tech tree and made better in literally every possible way, including thermals! And the downside? "thin armor" ROFL, as if that even matters in War Thunder with how unrealistically APFSDS and HEAT post penetration damage is modeled. Less armor is more armor! Meanwhile the Soviets are still fighting 80s era tanks with 50s crap! I want a refund on the useless T-55AM-1 that i bought!
Let's announce the Apache gaijin. I don't want to see prototype premium packs
And you think there won't be a premium prototype version of the apache too? Oh you sweet, sweet summerchild :P
Aimless, Lol... It's allready announced in Xbox shop... AH64A israeli apache ;) I'm waiting for my british one.... Or longbow in regular tree :p
This should stay in the tech tree. And make Leopard C2 Mexas as the 8.7/9.0 UK Rank 6 premium.
Why premium? C2 should definetly be in the main tree, either GER, UK or US.
Why is it suddenly ok to introduce something better than a tech tree varient as a premium? is their going to be a later varient Rooikat for the main tree or is this just a pay2win powercreep attempt?
I usually don't defend Gaijin's business practices but what are you talking about? It's not gonna be in the same BR, it's a one-off prototype and there are other vehicles for UK that can be it's equivalent in the tech tree.
please gaijin, you have to raise the helicopter spawn points because it is not right to find 3 helicopters (almost always Ka50) already at the beginning of the battle. Remember that you have not only "customers", but also "players"
Premium.... well that's disappointing to say the least. Why doesn't the Soviet Union have any of it's fast scout tanks locked behind a paywall?
The Soviets have no fast scout tanks at all. Unless you shove a BT into high tier.
__JangoFett__, Non light soviet tanks are already fucking terrifyingly fast. Centurion is much lighter than the IS tank series and yet Centurion caps at 32 kmh while when I used soviet heavies I was looking at 35-42 kmh speed. And that's only WW2 era. These T-54s and more cold war russian tanks are even more fucking terrifying because they managed to up their both armor and engine hp while having literally the same weight to IS-1 (or was it T-44?).
up to know the hull break makes such kind of vehicles be destroyed easily, Is there any plan to solve it? you know even use apfsds hit the tires, these vehicles can be destroyed, it's not true (
If u want sell it, buff UK high rank tanks first
Will Russia also get a premium with thermal???
Nope. Russia needs to fight 80s era tanks with 50s crap! Because why bother reworking the crappy designed tech tree when you can make more money on high tier premium vehicles every patch.
If they do, I guarantee you still will find something to complain about XD
