General Japanese & Thai Ground Forces Discussion HQ

I get that, and it seems easier to build than what the Germans did with blocks that fit into and Infront of the breach. But I still wonder why they didn’t go this route seeing as they could take them out and replace them.

It’s mentioned the breach has bolts for mounting of additional armor. This may be the reason

The breech area is visibly large, nearly half of the turret face belongs to it.


Armored turret face in yellow, breech in red (Sorry for the bad phone editing)

Just for comparison’s sake, here is the 2A5 breech. The moving part is almost entirely limited to the barrel, with two large blocks of armour on the left and right of the moving barrel to fill the empty space left over from the 2A4. This is all hidden under the wedge, something like this design could have been potentially useful on the Type 10.


Blue = Moving gun
Yellow = Cheek armour
Red = Extra armour

my bad

Do we have anything like this on the type 10

A picture under the wedge? Afaik no (good chance its not allowed to be public), but you might be want to ask tanuki or maus

I have an idea. Also thank you for that advice I’ll ask

On a different note, the esport skins are out.

What kind of Thai ground force vehicles can appear in War Thunder?
Do you have any lists or suggestions?

They really do just keep making amazing skins for my different lineups on Japan, just need a cool camo for my Type 89 and my life will be complete

No point adding Thai ground force equipment. The Japan can have 8 top tier vehicles if they modeled their tanks correctly

Except 1.0-10.7. That’s where that statement changes

having thai BTR-3E, T-84, Commando Stingray ( somewhat not copy paste) would benefit top tier.

I’d much rather then fix the Japanese domestic tanks first. We are also scheduled for more declassified documents on the Type 10 as well and that includes the diagrams for the additional armor array. Which currently no one, not even the crews of the type 10 know what they look like cause it’s never had to be fielded with it. Once we get the type 10 and TKX fixed we can move to the Thai top tier ground.

It’s actually the Prototype Type 3 Light Tank Ke-Ri. The Ke-Nu seems to be a modification of the Type 2 Ke-To. This is all a recent revelation, so there is still some confusion.

I don’t think we have the parameters on the Type IV APFSDS

We don’t, that’s why I want Gaijin to release what they consider “proper” Type IV so we can just use that and Gaijin can’t argue against it anymore
