I’d love to see both, I wrote a suggestion for the latter. However, they would be rather lacklustre in all fairness

In your suggestion, you mentioned two different lengths of the Type 98, L/70 and L/100. Depending on which one is already in-game maybe the other one could be added for more variety?

I’m pretty sure the L/100 has better performance, so just add that one anyway. Not sure which one we have in-game

Well my point would be that, if the Type 98 and Ta-Se already use the L/100 in-game, then there is no need for another vehicle with the exact same weapon, and therefore we could add a downgraded version for the sake of progression.

Type 01 LMAT being operated from HMV


Bonus LAV with M24 sniper rifle

Demining vehicle based on the AAV7, I believe this same system can also be fitted to the Type 96.

Some ideas for Type 93 upgrades, not sure if they’re still under consideration or not.

M2A2s captured by the Japanese in the Phillipines

Type 60 ATM with 4 missiles, likely used for training.

An SS-Ki I think, towing an artillery gun.

Rare photo of a Ho-I after capture by Americans.

In addition to the mineroller and T53 engine prototypes, there are two additional engineering versions of the M4A3 known as the Type 67 Bridgelayer and Type 70 ARV respectively. This makes for 4 modified Shermans in Japanese hands, athough I have yet to find one we could use in-game.

Type 92 turret, or something different?

And to round it off, here is a rare color photo of a JGSDF M19A1.

Ayo. they really planning on making this vehicle (the one on the left)? because it will be extremely useful for GRB around 9.7 maybe or 10.0 with the Stormer AD. Probably 10.3.

Off-putting, but the rear turret baskets of the TKX and TKX(P) in-game do not align with their damage model, and said damage-model is lopsided at the section where it meets the turret.

  • On a slightly-related note, Kawasaki unveiled a C-UAS laser system back in 2023.
    2KW laser mounted on a Kawasaki Mule Pro-FX. Source indicates the laser system is mounted on a gimbal with an IR system. Sources argue whether the effective range is 100m or several hundred meters. This was planned to be followed up with a 100KW laser likely mounted on a trailer-type vehicle.

  • At the same time, MHI also presented their C-UAS mounted on a MAV, as well as drones shot down using their system. Currently (as of 2023) only at 10KW but able to engage targets up to 1.2KM.

See the following video of the system at work:

What are the ranges and effectiveness against jets, helis and air to ground ordinances like cruise missiles? Or they only specifically designed to counter drones?

What’s the second vehicle from the left and the third vehicle from the right here?
