Hold up thats screen from game? I thought Ho-Ni has only 10° depresion in game. Even tho irl it has 15°.
This is from the devserver. They are buffing the Ho-Ni I gun depression in the upcoming update.

Cool. I was always saying it has greater depression irl. Tho why not give Ho-Ro back its -10°? It literally has gap for it.

Another recently buffed TD was the Type 5 Na-To that i think many people missed.
It received slightly more penetration to its APHE and -3 degree more gun depression (from -8 to -10)
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.

Lovely. How so they will listen to you tho?
worth a shot.
I just realized that O-I is some what bigger, taller than Maus. I cant even imagine the fear of the enemy forces (if O-I was putted in service).

Not sure if this is the right thread since the JGSDF uses helicopters, but I wrote a post about the AH-2

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.

Just for what reason vehicles act different in test drive than matches? Why do they have separate files for those?

I honestly have no clue why. It’s just such an odd issue to have and I don’t even know why they would have separate files for them.

Well, yeah as i expected this thing blows up easily from a turret shot. Yeah, this is useless, completely defeated the purpose of what unmanned turret is supposed to be for…
