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.
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.
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.
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…
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.
