yeah it is the Type 16 engine then

Testing out the Type 4 new 500HP engine on the devserver.
Whether it’s an improvement or stays the same, I’ll let you be the judge.


Had to make video look crap because of the 4mb limit.

Can accelerate a bit faster it seems though you probably need to make a comparison of both clips on 1 screen to see it more clear. Good slight improvement.

looks like it can’t realize all of its power because of gear ratios
So the transmission data is needed…

I’ve updated the thread to reflect the recent developments, incorporating the discussion on the Thai ground forces in light of the Royal Thai Air Force F-5E FCU’s inclusion in the Japanese aviation tech tree as a squadron vehicle. With this addition, it’s reasonable to anticipate the emergence of Thailand as a sub-tree in the future.

It seems like everything is mixed up and prioritized solely on Thailand, but this thread from now on primarily focuses on the ground forces of both nations. This way, everyone can discuss IJA, JGSDF and RTA vehicles on the same page without the need to switch back and forth.
Although this thread will still mainly focus on the Japan as it always has.

Ultimately, it’s up to the people to decide which thread they want to discuss. I’m simply not restricting anyone from bringing in Thai ground forces into this thread. That’s all. :)

Some fews of more significant changes.

  • 75 mm Experimental Anti-Tank Gun Mod. II – Type 1 APHE penetration: 140.77 → 145.65 mm
    (This is a main gun of the Na-To. I heard the muzzle velocity got buffed).
  • Ho-Ro:
    • Grille above the engine – 4 mm structural steel → 10 mm RHA
    • Vertical limits – -10° / 20° → -5° / 30° (Nerfed gun depression)
  • Ka-Chi – vertical limits without the pontoons: -10° / 20° → -15° / 20° (Finally fixed!)
  • Na-To:
    • Grille above the engine – 4 mm structural steel → 10 mm RHA
    • Vertical limits – -8° / 19° → -10° / 20° (New hull down glass cannon!)

Why’d the Ho-Ro depression get nerfed?
