Dragoon did a Bug report for that and the excuse was balancing issues

Yea, I know, but maybe they’ll buff it a bit to keep it strong as more nations get beefier tanks/lineups.
I want to write an article about the production variant of the Type 98 Ke-Ni A, but I’m having some trouble differentiating it from the Type 2 Ke-To.
Someone wrote a suggestion on the latter, but I suspect that the images they used for it were actually of the Type 98, not the Type 2.

Anyone have any info?
They went with the Fuji Armored instructor.
Camo nets seem to be removable. But why it is just called ‘‘Fuji’’ can’t they be more specific about what the unit this Type 90 belongs to ?

Germany got a fake SPAAG. We might aswell get the Ta-Ha at this point, at least the Ta-Ha is built but unfinished.

The German SPAA 100% fake like like just blueprints with no mock ups and such? or how far did it progress?
On the english stream i believe they said it was never built. I think only the gun existed.

lmao that thing does look amazing. I love how they mounted stuff on the Panzer IV chassis; they even mounted a Flak 88 I think
Apparently they built at least one prototype, but documents are very unclear on the matter. If they’re are going to allow more ambiguous vehicles like this in the game, they should allow the Ta-Ha. “Paper” vehicles should be enriching a smaller nation, not just Germany.
Also it seems to me that the model we have in-game is just the guns without the turret
The only fix i have seen so far is the turret of Ka-Chi is now modeled under the gun mantlet like the Chi-He turret, so the armor in this area is 75mm instead of just 50mm [the red and orange armor is now overlapped].

For your reference.
According to Mitsubishi’s explanation, this is the Type 98 Ke-Ni. However, it has a large cylindrical turret and looks like a Type 2 Ke-To. Should we call it the Type 98 Ke-Ni production type or the Type 2 Ke-To prototype?

“Type 98 Ke-Ni Light Tank”
“Manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., Tokyo Engineering Works in 1941”
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. Company History Editorial Office. 1954. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. History Photo Collection. p.437
Airborne tank unit officials testified that they received a Type 2 Ke-To, the newest light tank, to be carried by glider. However, the one pictured with the glider appears to be a Type 98 Ke-Ni prototype.
Spoiler
“Type 2 Ke-To for loading onto a Ku-7 glider. The fuselage of the Ku-7 glider is shown behind this tank.”
“The airborne tank units were equipped with the latest light tank, the Type 2 Ke-To. This tank is capable of airborne operations and weighs 7 tons. The armament is 1 x 37 mm gun, 1 x machine gun, and 3 crew members. This photo was taken in April 1945 when the emperor’s brother inspected the airborne group. Bottom right is a running Type 2 Ke-To.”
All-Japan Airborne Comrades Association. 1982. Airborne Forces Photo Collection. pp. 51, 55
It has been pointed out that the 37 mm Type 100 tank gun that the Type 98 Ke-Ni was to be equipped with was not mass produced (limited production of only 40 guns in 1942). On the other hand, production of tank guns for the Type 1 37 mm tank gun was 600 guns. I believe most of the Type 98 Ke-Ni were equipped with 37 mm Type 1 tank guns in wide cylindrical turrets instead of narrow conical turrets. I’m not sure, but is the only difference between a Type 98 Ke-Ni and a Type 2 Ke-To the placement of the return roller and suspension?

The thing is, I don’t think there are any photos of that modified return roller layout, this might just be a mistake on the author’s part

they might still have stuff more internally. AAM-3 came out of no where when there was no indication it was being worked on.
Lets hope, but it is gajin we are talking here so I seriously doubt anything other will come for japan.

I feel like that is what we are basically getting, 1 maybe + 3 ships and botes, AAM-3 for air and 70 euro Type 90 for ground.
But surely there got to be more stuff for air and ground trees, surely.
