The only user of Type 01 should be Komatsu LAV. More lovely cars in War Thunder is needed
Is it ?
Type 96 WAPC has three versions.
Type A equipped with Type 96 40mm AGL.
Type B equipped with M2 50. cal.
Type II equipped with applique armor plates.
These could be added as different modifications, switching between a machine gun or a grenade launcher and even with additional armor upgrade.

I know, know, that Type 96 can use it, but I am waiting the Komatsu LAV much more.
Honestly with the same weapon LAV will be more effective because of small sizes and better mobility but probably Type 96 has more missiles
It is not necessary to having just one when we can have two, there is nothing to lose.
The LAV can be placed in the light tank branch, and the Type 96 in the tank destroyer branch.

Ngl having a vehicle firing a shouldered-carried weapon is funny, but poses some questions. How will traverse and elevation work, for example
One aspect they’ll need to address is implementing a new mechanic. Since a person aims the weapon, they should be able to rotate much faster than a turret that relies on a traverse mechanism. I guess you could calculate the traverse rate based on the average speed at which a human can rotate 360 degrees. This would provide a realistic estimate for the rotation speed.
To calculate the elevation and depression angles accurately, place a crew model of average Japanese size inside a Type 96 or LAV model and assess how far it’s possible for him to aim the weapon up or down within a reasonable range.

I’m a bit upset Japan never made a specialized launcher for the Type 96. Seems like a missed opportunity tbh

I decided to translate the Type 10 video that was filmed from the inside.

do they change/buff the ammo repenishment for ready rack?
i feel it was a bit faster.
edit. meant to be the type 10 ready rack, sorry.
Yes.
Any type of missile now will be reloaded for each one, not the whole ammo rack.
If you in the cap, every weapon will be reloaded, netraul steering also count as stand still
Moving while in the cap or outside the cap will “pause” the reloading process, either you stop the vehicle and in the cap zone, back to reloading.
ah sorry, i think i didn’t explain as clear as i think
the type 10 autoloader-rack replenishment i meant. i felt it was faster than it used to be.

A nice premium addition for Japan would be PT-91M Pendekar. It would be a copy and paste, but it is incomplete because it is a very deep modernization of the T-72

I wont be able to test it, but iirc the “old” time to replenish the entire 14 shells in the autoloader was 5 min and 40 seconds with max crew and ace.
so it’s around 24 second-ish per round.
definitely a nerf then, right now is 30 second per round, so 14 is 7 min.
oof, yea that’s not good. It should be faster, especially as there is a hatch for the gunner to load from the inside. :(
I wouldnt suggest adding Malaysia first when Indonesia is right there with a lot more unique stuff to offer.
You couldve suggested actually locally built designs like the ACV-300 Adnan or the wholly unique AV-8 Gempita which is being built by DefTech that has one of the more comprehensive partnerships with Thailand through Chaiseri Metal & Rubber Co.
The Pendakar could be good but the Japanese TT doesnt need it.
I only suggested it as an interesting addition (soviet stong for japan) :)

No, they didn’t change anything, Both Type 90 and Type 10 always had this 30 second auto-loader replenishment since they were introduced, at least for the TKXs and Type 10.
And i do not believe aced crews affected replenishment time.

The worst thing they did was removing the reserve ammunition stored inside the hull.
These four rounds back in the day used to be reserve ammo, when you get ammo rack in the turret or ran out of ammo in the auto-loader magazine, one of the crews will be able to use these four rounds as emergency with a reasonable reload rate. Although these four round are still a weakspot in the hull (iirc) but this mechanic no longer exist, who knows why.

The Mitsubishi AL with supercharger that produced 510hp was intended for only the Chi-Ri II (and maybe a type of Ho-Ri). There is seemingly no mention in Japanese sources, primary or secondary, that it will be mounted in Chi-To. The US document’s wording is strange because they conflated the two engines. It may have required additional space for engine equipment only present in the slightly larger hull of Chi-Ri II over Chi-To.
- Chi-Ri II is not the tank called “Chi-Ri II” in game, rather it is the small and simplified Chi-Ri which remained a paper project that looks like Chi-To. (The tank in-game should really be renamed ‘Chi-Ri’)
Also, due to the devs using specs from the US document, the engine RPM is too low.
