This ammo rack positions can be seen on your photo. Rounds are missing and because of it mounts were tilted up for more space

Thanks! I was wondering what they were.

You should make a Machinery of War thread for these

A lot of vehicles have gun optics purposely incorrectly modeled. Per Gaijin’s own reasoning, it would be “overpowered” if tanks could have both null (1x) and high (8x~) zoom.

x1 is mostly not aiming sight and just for overview
I created a new topic.
Thanks! I replied to you in the new thread.

Been messing with the camouflage localization a bit which has made me actually look into Japanese camouflages.
Are any of the in-game disruptive camouflages actually real? The blot is clearly fake, but both the brown-yellow and the brown-olive-yellow lines also seem to be fake. They look like they’re supposed to be the post-1942 camouflages once they were actually standardized, but neither of them match the specifications I have found and I haven’t been able to find any photographs of these patterns.
The brown-yellow lines almost seem accurate, but the karekusairo yellow should be tsuchi kusairo instead, and the tsuchi kusairo is found on the brown-olive-yellow lines but in that case the karekusairo shouldn’t be included since it was supposed to be discontinued by 1942.
I also had trouble figuring out what willow green actually is, but it looks like there were two variations of kusairo? With the willow green representing a far more saturated form of used in some of the Pacific islands, while normal regulations called for the kusairo present on the standard camouflages of Imperial Japanese tanks. Though, this then makes me confused about what the early winter is supposed to be, because while I have found the photographs of the Japanese tanks in Manchukuo with the improvised white camouflage, I don’t get why the willow green kusairo is the base instead of the normal kusairo.
The only camouflages that seem at all accurate as the standard camouflages, the warship gray, which I think is supposed to be called silver grey (shirubaagureeiro?) instead, used on SNLF vehicles, and the brown which is just tsuchi iro.
Also the winter camouflage is actually a postwar camouflage but I already knew that.

Am a bit late to the party,
Afaik the AAM-4 has never been seen equipped on the standard / deployed F-4EJ Kai’s.
To my current knotits avionics does not support the necessary equipment to use and guide the AAM-4 Effectively.
There are a couple sources (albeit very similar in what they say) is that an F-4EJ Kai from the ADTW (Air Development Test Wing) squadron have tested th an (X)AAM-4 from an F-4EJ Kai
Although my personal thoughts, I tend to believe that an F-15J or an F-2 was used for the testing the (X)AAM-4 an the F-4EJ Kai was used as an chaser aircraft to record the tests.

I submitted a bug report regarding the Type 60 ATM’s rocket motor performance.
The sustainer thrust is too low, and if the in-game Type 64 corresponds to the B variant, the booster thrust is too high.
| in-game | Type 64 (original) | Type 64 (B) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booster thrust | 1606 N | 784 N – 1960 N | 784 N – 1470 N |
| Booster total impulse | 1,284.8 Ns | 1274 ± 196 Ns | 1274 ± 196 Ns |
| Sustainer thrust | 37.98 N | 88.2 N – 186.2 N | 78.4 N – 176.4 N |
| Sustainer total impulse | 949.5 Ns | 2156 ± 294 Ns | more than 1862 Ns |

If this report is accepted, the maneuverability during flight would improve slightly. And if the booster thrust is reduced, the minimum controllable distance would also decrease.

Are the Malaysian armored forces really that small? I’ve been trying to make a list of them and I can’t find more than 20 vehicles that would be applicable in-game.
Malaysian Vehicles
- Armored Cars
- Daimler Mk. II
- AML-60
- AML-90
- Fire Support Vehicles
- Scorpion 90 (differs from Indonesian Scorpion 90 by lacking roof SM3 machine gun and using Cockerill Mk. III instead of Cockerill Mk. IIIM-A1)
- Armored Personnel Carriers
- Condor (identical to Indonesian Condor, from what I can tell)
- Infantry Fighting Vehicles
- Stormer (w/ FVT 900 turret)
- ACV-300 Adnan (w/ Sharpshooter turret)
- SIBMAS AFSV-90
- AV8 (w/ Sharpshooter turret)
- AV8 (w/ LCT 30 turret)
- AV8 (w/ LCT 30 ATGW turret)
- Main Battle Tanks
- T-84 (Object 478DU8, failed Malaysian export)
- PT-91M
- Multiple Launcher Rocket Systems
- Astros II Mk 6 (w/ SS-30 & SS-40 rockets)
- Anti-Tank Missile Carriers
- Mercedes Benz G-Class w/ Metis-M
- ACV-300 Adnan (w/ Baktar Shikan)
- Surface-to-Air Missile Systems
- GK-M1 w/ Starstreak LML (either solo or as multiple-vehicle system w/ ForceShield, TEL for TG MIL TGS w/ CONTROLMaster 200)
- VAMTAC w/ Dzhigit “Igla-S”
- VAMTAC w/ Starstreak MMS (either solo or as multiple-vehicle system w/ ForceShield, TEL for TG MIL TGS w/ CONTROLMaster 200, identical to Indonesian VAMTAC w/ Starstreak MMS)
- TG MIL TGS w/ CONTROLMaster 200 (as multiple-vehicle system w/ ForceShield, TADS for GK-M1 or VAMTAC w/ Starstreak LML/MMS, identical to Indonesian TG MIL TGS w/ CONTROLMaster 200)

It has the worse Mark 3 gun, rather than the Mark 3 A1 of the Indo Scorps. The Mark 3 A1 allows firing of APFSDS
Yup
I tried my hand at it a while back as well. There’s not a lot, but what is there is generally very interesting.

Question:
I am doing some digging concerning infantry though this is for ground forces I am looking for post war equipment 1945 to 1955 give and take that where used by security / police services (aka the early not a military military) I am formatting a squad suggestion so the equipment does not need to be like a tank.
For example the use of the Japanese Civil police Ha Go 1950 plus Morris C8 truck
post war Ho-Ha
this poor thing
They had bazooka
some Type 100 submachine gun
also some Arisaka rifles
This will basically be a National Safety Force/National Police Reserve though this will be a bit of a chimera and be sort of like my police (SWAT TEAM Squads idea “other thing”)

I can’t find the upgraded Condors with a 20 mm. Do you have a photograph of it? The only ones I can find are a “c-pattern” with a 7.62-mm gatling and a “n-pattern” with a 7.62-mm machine gun.

Yeah the 20mm armed variant wasn’t based on the Chaiseri / DefTech variant, just the normal Condor.
At the time I got some information wrong and misinterpreted it as also being an N-Pattern variant because it lacked the distinct LFP add on of the C-Pattern. I disregarded the basic N-Pattern before actually looking at the differences.
This one?
This one is sadly just a basic Condor. It’s very lightly modified only because the Malaysian one adds more smoke launcher coverage.
The Chaiseri / DefTech upgrades essentially changed the whole vehicle with new engine, suspension, upgraded armor, etc. but also (what I missed making my old list) they specifically added new open turrets for either an M134 or M2 .50 cal. There was no 20mm option. At the same time there was also an upgraded Scorpion presented that used the 20mm cannon instead, likely intended to replace the 20mm Condor entirely.
But all of this was in 2017, and I don’t think any further Condors were upgraded at aside from the UAV carrier also shown off alongside the others.
What are the chances that the Japanese M24 will get a remodel since the M24DK was added?

low gaijin will likely not do that. Very little money in that
