At least 5 of the late version were produced as evidenced by the factory photo, but it’s entirely possible that more had been or were being constructed by war’s end as I believe that a quota of 50 units was actually ordered.
Don’t quote me but I recall that 3 of the early version vehicles were sent to the Philippines, but only 2 of them actually arrived (or?) saw combat. Allegedly 12 in total were produced, although some original documentation to confirm this would be nice.
Regarding the Ho-Ro, if it was changed then surely someone made a bug report to it ? And if that was the case then it means it was backed by references which would make it a historical fix.
Although i haven’t found that report.
According to the US intelligence investigation of the captured Ho-Ro, the elevation angle of the gun was from -5° to +30°, but the original blueprints of the Ho-Ro indicate an elevation angle of -10° to +20°.
Why would blue prints for it say something else than a captured thing?? That makes no sense. Even if that was the case I would belive blue prints more as there are bilion cases of allies simply using captured Axis vehicles and weapons wrong and then calling it bad and unreliable for propaganda purposes.
I requested the technical moderator to adopt the Japanese document regarding the field of fire of the Ho-Ro, instead of the US report. The elevation range will probably be changed to -10° to +20°. However, the traverse range, which is ±5° in the US report, is noted as ±3° or ±3.9375° (±70 angular mils) in the Japanese document, so it will be slightly narrower.
ICV is currently bugged with the same no-fire zone as the RCV in live matches and custom matches, but oddly not in test drives. Given it lacks the observation poll and SATCOM in the back, this is obviously incorrect, and someone has made a bug report about it. https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/qvtSEsfrD0y9
