The Stingray, also known as the Commando Stingray, is a light tank developed by Cadillac Gage (later Textron Systems) in 1983, originally as a private venture for export. After the first prototype was completed in 1985, it was sent to Thailand the following year for trials to find a suitable replacement for the M41 Walker Bulldog in service with the Royal Thai Army. The trial proved to be a success, and the RTA ordered 106 Stingrays between 1989–1990 and remains the only user of the Stingray. The tank saw combat during the Thai-Cambodian border skirmishes in 2013–2014 and is in active service to this day.
The Thai Stingray was introduced in Update "Tusk Force" as part of the Japanese ground tech tree. Much like its identical counterpart in the American tech tree, the Thai Stingray is an archetypal light tank: fast, mobile, and armed with a sufficiently powerful gun. The Stingray features a 105 mm gun with powerful APFSDS shells, a two-plane stabiliser, and a laser rangefinder, allowing it to accurately hit targets at range. While the Stingray's armour is quite thin, the front is angled enough to resist autocannon rounds, though one should never rely on it. The main drawback of the Stingray is its poor reverse speed, which makes it difficult to get out of sticky situations.
