look shorter than type 89, is it enough room of the soldier?

Now that would be a good addition, the gun is really the selling point for the Type 89 as the ATGMs on it suck since the ATGM rework and the many nerfs before it.

The power reading is in Kilowatts which is more acurate but that would mean that the HP reading is 568hp at 2100rpm which it wont take long to achieve because the engine is a long stroke design

Common translation error with the application saying its for a motorcycle its for some sort of car

This isnt due to rounding it is highly feasible that during the engine dyno test run that they achieved that number at 2100rpm the other test could of been done at a slightly lesser rpm

Excuse but what do you want to say here?

Idk how you got so bad translation

It is the same engines in fact and it should have the same power but the rounding is normal for this types of documents. Also in this doc engine mass is written as “not above 1.6t” but in fact it’s mass is 1.2t so many numbers here is approximatly and rounded

Hopefully we’ll get better ATGMs on it someday, when they retire the Type 79 in its totality

Yeah, you want to play the Type 89 for its gun, and thankfully it has the best APDS ammo of any IFV so the gun is more reliable than its ATGMs which is why the Type 89 is still enjoyable even after all the nerfs.

Also the recent change that allows for ammuntion replenishing while the gun is firing slightly helps it to reload a little faster.

Yeah, still not a vehicle I enjoy playing. I usually bring the Type 74 C instead, feels much more flexible.

Love it, it is actually a viable replacement for Ho-Ri just wish it had its range finder its the one thing keeping me sane with the unruly amount of case players I’ve had a 5 aircraft 7 ground units ground rb battle match we still managed to lose

But one thing I love is that I’m able to prevent multiple team losses during a match with the enemy having to leave the match because their plane spawn costed alot

Dont know how long Gaijin will leave it so effective kinda reminds me of the Ho-ri before it got properly nerfed

The Type 99 is not at all like the Ho-Ri bro. It only has HE shells and has paper armor

Ho-Ri is expensive to play and alot of tanks can kill it frontally and everyplane looks for you imediately after you get a kill because they know it can be strafed or bombed easily

This Type 95 Ha-Go wreck is supposedly located in or near the city of Miura, in the Kanagawa prefecture.

The fact that this vehicle is supposedly found on the mainland intrigues me, I hope that we will learn more about it one day.

You wont be when the UK receives the South African Gripen the spam will increase
South Africa fielded the Mirage aswell

what do you mean? UK already has a south african grippen

What i am hinting is to the addition of a swiss sub tree to germany and germany getting a trialed gripen to fill in gaps

Funny thing germany would get a mirage as well from switzerland
