DCBY, do you think you can create proper bug reports so that we might one day get to see a properly working Tan-SAM?
Also find it insane that someone pointed this out back on the dev server but it’s still not present in game.

forgot to mention that unless the target is way up at altitude, if you try to fire the missiles while controlling theTADS, the missiles will very likely just hit the ground (and possibly damage or destroy the TEL as well) because they are fucking stupid and giving the launchers some basic logic like aiming 15 degrees above is too hard apparently
but at this point we are lucky our missiles at least work, look at the poor spyder lmao

Meh, we really could have gotten the chu-sam at this point instead of researching a type 81 with radar for 400k rp

Honestly i wish we got that instead
The tansam is so ass right now because of its radar
I ended up just playing a different nation for now because the radar is so terrible i was getting frustrated using it
Half the time it follows a false track
Other half it just straight up does not work
I didn’t see any others, so I’ve gone ahead and created a dedicated thread for the tan-sam. Please check it out, and put your vote in the linked bug reports for additional visibility. Thanks!

This is difficult because sometimes it just doesnt want to lock what your aiming at or the radar decides to pick something else (e.g. locked a F-15E flying 7km high up, and it decided just when i was about to fire to lock a drone thats not even being locked. thus unable to shoot at what i aimed at )
Don’t forget the Type 11 Tan Sam that’s 100% coming anyway, so that’s a 800k roadblock before you even begin to research the Chu Sam (1.2 million RP in total to actually get it)

Does the Type 11 even provide any significant improvement? The range is the same. Only plus I can think of is possibility to get them on Toyota Mega Trucks.
And Toyota version has disadvantages as it can’t be operated without radar at all
Unlike in reality, the disadvantages seem to outweigh the benefits in the game. The launcher’s elevation is limited, its rotation speed is slow, and the ammo capacity is likely reduced. However, since the side mounted missiles are gone, there’s less risk of hitting trees or buildings. :)
Are they nerf the mobility of the type 10? It’s engine feel so underpower right now
Is this the new sound effect or bug?
It’s intentional, don’t worry.
yeah its probably new sound effect
need this to complete the rat recon vehicle fun

Was the Heavy Tank No. 5 even a thing? The panther with the flat turret checks and a Japanese gun.
I’m working on a Chu-SAM suggestion, if you guys have any usable sources (mostly about the missile and the radar) or videos of the thing firing, please either send them to me directly or post them here.
Yes and no.
Japan did buy a Panther D, which by the same naming as the Tiger would be “Heavy Tank No. 5”, but this tank wasn’t able to be shipped to Japan, just like the Tiger, so even if there was plans to modify it (not sure if there was) it couldn’t get to that point. Instead all German tanks Japan bought were rented back out to the Wehrmacht as it was clear they couldn’t be delivered.
