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.

i want maus. tiger 105 . panther II
Why can't we just get a proper British light tank tech tree? The Crusader Mk. III should be a rank II with scouting for one. We're missing a lot of other light tanks like the FV101 Scimitar/Scorpion and FV721 Fox, we're missing so many tanks that we should have but don't. If you want to add this as a PREMIUM machine, give us a PROPER light tank line that we've been waiting for for years. Britain has had a lot of light tanks and armored cars from WWII to the present day. So where are they Gaijin?
Well, this looks more and more like that Gaijin game Star Conflict, Random battles, Premium super price inflated stuff and that's it. As much depth as a puddle of urine. I'd bet even that puddle has more depth than War Thunder. The game is meaningless, victories or defeats don't matter, you just unlock vehicles, then research their modules and that's it. I get even punished if I dare to carry a random match, after the first tank destruction I get less reward, so team play is highly discouraged.
I've been saying this for years: stupid component grind is not content. Now we have something like 1500 units. Imagine how many of them need Parts and FPE. Now new tech trees are coming out. What comes with new tech trees? New, sh*tty stock crews. Another year, another nation with overgimped everything. Ever since 1.37 came out, this game has become overgimped trash with a trash matchmaker. I never played a game that I was going backwards in research. Welcome to WT.

I see no problem with this being a premium. It's a prototype, with only one built, and none seeing service... Seems like it checks all the boxes for being a premium, anyhow. It would be nice to have it as a TT, but I don't think this is a major issue, personally. Stop crying, ya'll!
Stop with this pay-to-win already! Do you want to break the game completely?
Some british goodies I see, now for that EEL maybe?
I'm glad this vehicle is in the game, even if it is as a premium. I wish there were more british/commonwealth light vehicles on the brit tree, but i don't think they have that many.
Rooikat MTTD 120mm auto-loader when? ))))
Gib O-I please 😭
