It’s understandable if you have reservations about trusting the information, but asserting a categorical ‘No’ regarding the presence of spall liners in those tanks seems to be more rooted in presumptions than factual evidence.
Would not it be betterif you could share a source or reference that supports your statement. Even if it’s from Wikipedia, I don’t really care, as it allows me to cross-check the information by examining the sources cited in the article later on.

Currently no, the most powerful 105mm in active service is the Type 93 105mm APFSDS
But it is planned to improve the Type 93 APFSDS. This is from 2021.
Proposal for improving the power of armor-piercing ammunition for MCV.
It seems that the plan is been forwarded in 2023.

But will take sometime before we get to know more.

Btw did you know that there is a Chi-Ha with Chi-He turret perseved at Indiana Military History Museum in USA ?
I actually wanted to make a vehicle suggestion for this in the past but upon learning that the modification was done by the Americans after captured this tank, i felt it was not possible.
Eitherway the Type 1 Chi-He is partly still exist today. A turret is in the US and a hull is in Japan (Type 3 Chi-Nu).

how about giving the type 93 it’s realistic performance. it says that it can pen up to 414mm of armor at 2km. dunno how that translates to close ranges however. probably same or better than DM63 of TAM2C ingame?

No APFSDS shell in the game has historical penetration. All of them are nerfed down version of the real shells. Giving Type 93 its historical pen means every single APFSDS will have to go through the same buff included the DM63. It is not like if Type 93 recieved historical pen but DM63 remain unchanged except it would also have even higher pen than it is currently.
I’m pretty sure it is done intentionally to prevent the top tier from being completely broken than it already is.

Very great picture!
SS-3 is actually been suggested in the past but it have not been passed for consideration. If noone wants to at least modify the old suggestion and creat a new suggestion on the new forum then it will dissapear forever because unfortunately i believe @Tasty95215 is no longer around in the community…
Before he's gone he also made suggestions for all other SS prototypes aswell. None of which had been passed yet.

Btw the STB-1 turret is really ugly knowing what the real STB-1 actually supposed to look like.
Spoiler
STB-1 turret is roughly the same dimension as Type 74 turret but they messed it up, classic Gaijin.

I realised that something’s off when I saw the mantlet damage model doesn’t match the visual model. Btw the tank got renamed to stb-2? Is that correct??
That’s insane, I did not know that the Chi-He turret still exists. Hopefully the lost Chi-To can be found now too.
I thought I would like this here if anyone is interested

Both the STB-1 and STB-2 both had a semi autoloader IRL. The difference is the RWS and some of the lifting lugs. Based on the model in game we have the STB-2

Making a suggestion on this for the US Would be dang on amazing.

i don’t mind if the US players want it but i think gaijin doesn’t accept vehicle modified for museum otherwise they would have changed the Panther II to equip with a Panther G turret.
Yeah that is why i don’t play the STB, i can’t stand looking at it especially how much the turret ‘‘neck’’ is exposed.
Yes they renamed it in the last patch and i believe it is correct. The STB-1 doesn’t have the lifting ring above the gun mantlet. The STB in the game does which makes it a STB-2.
Btw i 'd like the STB-1 model in WoT, way more detailed than ours.

Yes. It is also written in the ARMOR MAGAZINE published by the US army armor school July-August 1970. By Tomio Hara.
When i discovered this article a few years ago, a person made a bug report for the night vision device for STB-1 used this as a source of reference and it was succesfully added into the game as modification.
We know that this is only a assisted-loader and not fully automatic but there is no information regarding its RoF. Personally i believe this is the same type of auto-loader found in the ST-A 3 and despite there is no information on how fast the ST-A 3 could reload but Gaijin gave it 6 second, same could be done for the STB.
