Can confirm that does not work lol, not unless speed also effects it. Had my first round veer left on my first shot.

It’s wrong and it was corrected based on a CAD drawing released by the Japanese MoD

Hello is there any information on the 48 ton version of the Type 10 or any similar version that was ever built ?
Nope
But there is a new type 10 upgrade in development which will add 30mm RWS and most likely (very highly likely) Iron fist APS this will increase its weight closer to that.
But the specific version your asking for at least I’ve never heard or see the 48 ton version shown in public is r what it consists off

thank you

Gaijin needs to add the Type 90 prototype with the 135mm gun
The Type 10 with the mitsubichi aps
The Type 10 with iron fist and 30mm rws
And the new Type 10 with the extra roadwheel

These would be really meaty at top tier. Extra roadwheel is a bridge to far
Here is the upgrade package if no one posted about it.

Research on the Active Protection System (APS)
Main Description
In international peacekeeping and cooperation activities, rockets and similar weapons pose a serious threat. We are conducting research on equipment that protects armored vehicles and personnel from such threats. By using radar and optical sensors to detect incoming rockets and other projectiles at long range, and intercepting them with countermeasures that minimize collateral damage, the safety of armored vehicles and personnel can be ensured.

Bottom Text
Technology that protects the safety of personnel is one of the most important technologies for the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF). To ensure their protection, it is necessary to develop technologies that are equal to or superior to those of other nations.
The purpose of this research is to neutralize the threat posed by enemy warheads while also reducing the damage caused by our own interceptor projectiles. We aim to minimize this damage by making full use of Japan’s advanced materials and precision manufacturing technologies.
As a prototype, we are researching and developing the essential components of the system, including:
- Sensors capable of detecting incoming rockets and verifying their trajectories,
- Interceptor projectiles to evaluate the effectiveness of reducing collateral damage,
- Launchers capable of rapidly firing interceptors toward the target.

At the same time, examine configurations that allow:
- installation of both the APS and RWS/RWS radar simultaneously,
- installation of only one of the two systems,
- or installation of neither system.
c) Participate in the live-fire verification tests identified as GRD-Z000981.
Participation shall consist of two personnel.
Except for support relating to testing within the test range and entry into government facilities, the contractor shall arrange the transportation, lodging, and meals necessary for participation.
Further details shall be coordinated with the Development Division.
d) Give the highest priority to ensuring the safety of personnel operating the equipment on the vehicle.
e) If additional items requiring consideration arise during the work, they shall be adjusted through consultation with the Development Division.
f) Submit the results of the studies listed in Items 1–3 of Table A.1 as the System Design Report.
The System Design Report shall serve as the final report, and its detailed contents shall conform to Table B.1.

Pictures with APS tests with that pictures with 3D model is NOT related to the documents you posted
That pictures are about closed APS project from 2010s while this documents is about new APS project for Type 10 started 2024

interesting
Well that’s all I have on my hard drive concerning anything related to Japanese APS projects
Yeah there are two of them the pics (first ones) you showed was an earlier development of Japan trying to make their own APS.
But as of now there is a newer development where they will instead use a foreign design and a 30mm rws

If we get proof of the 30mm and if it gets of hard hitting rounds / maybe a time fuse for quadcopter drones that type 10 is going to be beloved by players. 30mm ap for light tanks time fuse for infantry mode.
APS is sort of a mature technology now cold war APS was kind of raw for what you where getting. Makes sense for Japan to get there hands on some though Quadcopter drones don’t seem to be effected by APS at this time so the value may be mixed.
What do you mean with “if we get proof”?
We have documents (which was posted by you also) that they plan to install 30mm on Type 10 - so it is needed to wait until they do it
From same documents we know they will use HEAT round (same as Ah-64 gun) and Proxy fuse ammo
It is the reason they place 30mm gun on tank

This is more of a does Gaijin provide it with the needed rounds / systems in game to make it work.
I hope one day we see the test vehicle with the APS and 30mm so Gaijin goes alright and give it to us.
Well I think we need to maybe not add somuch vehicle that are so close to others. Maybe the version with the extra roadwheel a modification, or the Type 10 APS or the Type-10 with the Mitsubishi APS.
And as for the type-90 130mm I vote yes with both hands
The document are seeing a possibility to add those.
It is written :
- A.2 Services*
- The services provided are based on Table A.1, with further details as follows.*
- a) Examine the installation procedures for APS, RWS, and RWS radar, as well as the connection procedures for the vehicle-side systems.*
- b) Consider the necessary modifications, including weight and power enhancement measures required to install APS, RWS, and RWS radar. In this process, consider whether simultaneous installation, installation of one or the other, or non-installation of APS, RWS, and RWS radar is possible.*
- c) Participate in live-fire verification of GRD-2000981. The number of participants shall be two, and the contracting party shall make arrangements for travel, accommodation, and meals necessary for participation in the live-fire verification, excluding assistance for entry to test sites and government-related facilities in the country where the verification will be conducted. Details will be adjusted in consultation with the Development Department.*
- d) Prioritize ensuring the safety of personnel operating the vehicle on which the system is installed.*
- e) If any further items or issues requiring consideration arise, adjustments will be made in consultation with the Development Department.*
- f) The results of the examinations listed in Table A.1, numbers 1 to 3, shall be submitted as a system design document. The system design review will then submit a final report, with details as shown in Table B.1.*
So it say that they are studying how to add them in an efficient way, and if APS and 30mm are compatible.
Here are the documents if anyone want to see them without looking too much around.

I did some general looking around on APS concerning drones what I figured out is yes they can stop a drone that is clear the issue is not shooting down every bird and radar glitch.
The 30mm is better at the whole job of stopping a drone at range though you would still get overwhelmed if your swarmed. This is reason why USA is experimenting with a mini gun and other weapons on tanks.
Who knows if this will work but that’s the whole idea
