Hopefully, I think for now we could settle for both version’s of the Type 11 (11式短距離地対空誘導弾), that being the Toyota Mega Cruiser + Isuzu Type 73 6x6 Truck

Could have Mega Cruiser without radar platform and Isuzu 6x6 with radar platform (given multi vehicle is being added)

British 105mm SPH’s have HESH, while the ammunition handling between UK & American 105 howitzers is different (2 part vs semi-fixed), I’m pretty sure Gaijin would be happy to slightly fudge the ammunition for the sake balance. Would be 127mm of pen, so not terrible, 5.7-6.0 would be fairly reasonable.

At that point just don’t add it. Not all SPGs are feasible in-game and that’s okay.

JASDF Type 11 (Mega Cruiser) can’t operate without separate radar vehicle, only JGSDF Type 11 (SKW 475) can.

So it might be two variants of JGSDF Type 11, one with and one without radar. The JASDF Type 11 only works if they allow separate radar instead of just a towed system like IRIS-T SLS, but it can’t be added completely without radar.

Besides that, the Type 11 on Isuzu Type 73 is cooler IMO

IMO both look cooler, imagine just a Type 11 zooming down the map

SLS Prototype for sweden had a radar…

Yeah, but it’s also a two-part vehicle with the launcher towed. So the same configuration as a theoretical JGSDF Type 11 FCS radar vehicle with the launcher on a towed flatbed trailer.

how far do the type 11 missiles go?

From what I could find; 15km

thats kinda my guy…

Please don’t swear

Best we can get from Japan, unless we consider Type 03 with over 50km range. Then there is also VL MICA from Thailand, but I doubt thats coming soon.

Another option is the SPYDER-SR from Singapore, but thats about it in therms of mid-range SAMs even if we consider any of the ASEAN founders Nations.

15k just… really doesnt feel like a step up needed tbh… nations like russia and china have 18 and 15 respectively and with china getting what looks to be a spaa with 18k missiles and a apds slinging chaingun … idk man that doesn’t really feel like an upgrade…

I don’t see why we can’t just give the 81c it’s ARH which have a similar perfomance while without the need of having to grind 400k more RP

There is nothing from Japan nor Thailand that could fill the large gap between Type 93 and Type 81(C). Its best to keep as it is and move it back to 11.0.

Twitter artists understand Japans autoloaders better than Gaijin

Note how it’s not too flat to for the motors that are supposed to sit under the ammo…

…or too long to actually fit the tank…

…or physically can’t even cycle the ammo…

…or somehow has a separate ammo rack below the first that’s also physically unable to move instead of it being one revolving rack.

yeah good luck moving it back down, Type 81c being 0.3br below the Pantsir is a sick joke only enabled by absolute incompetence.
