I hate laziness, Gajin. They model the Type 91 machine gun in the Type 89 I-Go tank the same way as the Type 97 machine gun. It’s so bad, these guns differ quite a lot from each other.

They are old models
That doesn’t mean I can’t complain.

True Gaijin will get around to updating them when they do.

Is there any chance it will be fixed?

Type 90 as well. The mantlet is not a one-piece design.
Spoiler
The model for the left-side armor on the Type 90 is misaligned.
Spoiler
The M2 HB is supposed to have a 360-degree horizontal range and a pitch range of -10 to +60 degrees, but—though I can’t say this out loud—according to the specs on a certain website, it’s listed as -120 to +120 degrees and -8 to +60 degrees.
Oh, it was actually listed on Wiki.

Yea, I’d love to see a complete model rework for the type 90, especially because if the br it’s at.
Is there any information on the type 90s armor?
Is the possibility of the heavy tank no. 5 (japanese panther) getting added today basically zero? I was looking at the late-ww2 Japanese line-up and it was pathetic. Everything except 2 premiums is a cold war vehicle. Stuff like Chi-se and Ho-ri 2 seem off the table. Ka-to or O-I could be added, but it’s bordering on the same place as the Hungarian 44M Tas where there are only written sources of it being built. Knowing Gaijin, they will not add it.

Also speaking of ww2. Are there any suggestions yet on filling the Thai ww2 line? They had the ha-go… There’s going to be a huge gap here with nothing to fill it I feel.
You answered your own question. Ho-Ri (Historical), Ka-To, O-I, and Ta-Ha among others are all partially constructed prototypes that did exist in the (incomplete) flesh and are confirmed by official Japanese sources. While a bit on the nose, I think they are perfectly capable of being added within existing game parameters.
Sure, they seem a bit out of place in online discussion, but I think once people warm up to them and understand their legitimate place in history and the reasons we lack photographs and proper documentation, it will be totally accepted that they are the pinnacle of WW2 Japanese armor manufacturing in terms of armor and firepower and as such deserve a place ingame.

Not impossible, just unlikely. I think its more likely than other captured vehicles since Japan doesn’t really have an armoured option in TT at any rank.

Where is this pic taken place at?
Honestly, I do not know
A datacenter if I had to guess.
Everything looks off
not even sure what tank that’s supposed to be
Prop for the filming of the Japanese movie “The Fool on the Tank”, at least it’s what google gives me

I genuinely want them to fix the armor on the Type 10/TKX, and they need to add the Leo 2A4RI and Leo 2SG, def subfoldered, and they could easily slot in under the TKX/P in the TT
what info do we have access legally speaking ?
I know the Type-10 armor is not realistic, but I never got more info’s…
Probably the LFP, since it is abostly trash, being killed by a 30mm sovietic AP shell feels pretty much humiliating
Sadly not a lot. Basically we know it’s wrong in several areas, but not exactly how wrong.
For example iirc from armor testing it’s said that the UFP, turret cheeks and mantlet were tested against 120mm APFSDS from 200m using a reduced charge, and that these tests were considered successful. But this is missing important information like the type of APFSDS used, how much the charge was reduced and what a successful test would mean. It’s likely this would’ve been Type IV APFSDS (prototype Type 10), with a charge slightly reduced to simulate 250m distance, but aside from being educated guesses there’s no proper proof.
Same thing goes for the nanocrystalline steel, a type of grain hardened steel used in the Type 10, where we don’t exactly know how much or where it is applied so we are stuck with fully RHA armor in game.
Even the “easier” issues, like the orientation of the UFP armor or the weird armor holes for “track tension mechanisms” that are external on the real vehicle, can’t be reported because while it’s clear these are wrong, we don’t actually know what would be right instead. Gaijin don’t like replacing one guess with another that they potentially have to change again in the future, even if for the more modern vehicles that’s often all we have.
