Not fair😤
Where does 8.8x come from? Why can’t it be 1.9x, which is the lowest in game?
“Just because”
I don’t understand why they can’t do it. Tbh the policy with sights is weird in WT

Apparently Chi-To Late’s ammo racks are going to be fixed in the coming big update and there are hopes for some others as well. So far we have managed to report Chi-Ri, Chi-To Late, Chi-Nu and Chi-He. Strangely enough Chi-Has have proven the most difficult.
Perhaps some document or book somewhere contains a proper drawing, but so far we haven’t found anything like that. Instead I’ve been scraping together photos and some parts from video. Any help would be welcome. Below is what I found about Chi-Ha Kai. The original 57 Chi-Ha is even more difficult.
The turret racks in game are almost like they should be. Only the right side ready rack should be for 3, instead of 5.
In the hull the central rack by the gearbox is correct. Also the 8 round rack by the wall is kind of correct, but it should be by the right side, instead of left.
Large portion of the ammo is actually stored at the left back corner. I found two photos of it from two separate tanks, but neither of them show it fully. It should contain about 30 rounds.
So far that’s about 87 out of 100 rounds, depending on how many exactly there are in the rear rack.
Rest of the main gun ammo was probably stored in the two boxes on the floor. Then again they could as well be for machine gun ammo. In either case it’s too difficult to estimate their capacity.

Thank you for your hard work. I’d love to contribute somehow.
I can contribute knowledge for vehicles not yet in the game))

According to Type 90 (B) specification, the lowest magnification of gunner’s sight is 1x.
That of type 90 was not archived.

According to this table, the commander’s sighting periscope has 3x zoom low mag system and 10x zoom high mag system.
The gunner’s sighting periscope has a 1x zoom observation system and a 10x aiming system.
I couldn’t find whether the low/high mag system and the observation/aiming system can be switched continuously or not.
There is also a 12x zoom aiming telescope that can be used by the gunner.
The thermal imager may have a software zoom function, although the magnification itself is not shown. There are 3 FoV modes: wide view of 7.6°x10.1°, narrow view of 2.7°x3.6° and magnified narrow view of 1.3°x1.8°. The magnified narrow FoV mode has approx half the FoV of the narrow view mode, so it has twice the magnification. Assuming that the narrow FoV mode has a 10x zoom like other high-mag modes, the magnified narrow FoV mode has a 20x zoom.

Type 89 ifv armour hole! Found holes above the gun and sides. This means you can die from the front from 7mm.

According to US reports, the Type 97 Chi-Ha carried 121 rounds of 57 mm ammo, however, Japanese sources state that it carried 114 rounds. The Chi-Ha’s hull held four 57 mm ammo boxes divided into 40, 36, 21, and 7 rounds, while a 10-round rack was installed in the turret.

“The shells are stored in aluminum alloy ammunition boxes. Due to space constraints inside the vehicle, they are divided into four boxes containing 40, 36, 21, and 7 rounds respectively. Additionally, a 10-round ammunition box is mounted on the turret side plate, bringing the total to 114 rounds.”

Knowing the ammo counts of each rack is a big help. Sooner or later we’ll definitely find some photos or drawings to confirm their location and shape.
