Thank you for the clarification! So is there a more permanent mounting for live-missiles? I’ll see if I can find pics
btw the article states it can fire live missiles.
Honestly it can be in WT ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I believe it’s entirely possible since it’s a genuine weapon modified for training purposes. However, I highly doubt it carries any actual missiles on board, given that it’s solely used for training and not intended for operational use. Therefore, it’s unlikely that it’s been modified to accommodate missile storage.
If it were to be added to the game, the missile racks would likely require some creative interpretation, as they wouldn’t exist in reality. Ultimately, it would be up to Gaijin to decide how many missiles to include, leaving players at their mercy in terms of armament configuration.
Personally, I’m just hoping for additions like the Thai M113 TOW, Humvee TOW, and M901 ITV. These would greatly address the Japanese tree’s lack of ATGM carriers and provide some much-needed versatility in gameplay.

Thai VN-16, interesting…
Also Humvee TOW firing.
If you look closely the missile resembles one of those TANDEM HEAT projectiles.

Actually true. I’m not sure of any vehicles in the game where Gaijin had to make up the armament storage. Hopefully we can get the Komatsu LAV or Thai vehicles as you mentioned

I wouldn’t discourage anyone from making suggestions if they want to. After all, the Type 01 has already been suggested, even though it’s a handheld weapon and details about the missile racks are unknown aswell.

I’m not quite sure either, but I’ve always wondered about the way the Type 60 APC carries the Type 64 ATGMs. Maybe some more modern vehicles with lacking sources, like the Type 10 that somehow doesn’t have the wet ammo storage similar to the Type 90.
If that’s the case, they’re going to export a lot of vehicles, and they have. Just as the US, USSR/Russia and Germany among others have done.
Just don’t be surprised if said vehicles then show up in other tech trees.

Chinese players when their export tank gets exported
Regardless of if it gets added however, the vt4 really doesn’t seem like that good of a tank

A lot of people complain about a lot of things in this game, yet Gaijin still does them. In reality, ROC/SK/JPN teaming up in this day and age would be far more likely than any of the aforementioned and CN, regardless of any grudges they hold from 75+ years ago.

From what I understand there are still quite a few bugs to be fixed.
Honestly having it in more trees seems like it might even help push it up on Gaijins priority list. Seems like a win for China in that case even.

I feel like a vehicle should be repaired to the way it should be, not by adding more tech trees
Correct you for the last time ROC full name REPUBLIC OF CHINA, its still is China

Does somebody have more info on that attempted native Thai APC? Wished it had gone ahead and finished. Am not talking about the recent DTI AAPC, but the older one that looks like an that 50s German APC
This ?
Thai modernized FV 101 Scorpion light tank.
New thermal sight system from SELEX Galileo.
STAWS is fully integrated with assisted-aiming fire control software, providing the Scorpion with modern direct fire capability 24 hours a day, under all battlefield conditions.
Now aiming through a display monitor instead of the old separate day and night aiming sights.
Note the zoom in and zoom out levels, also laser range finder
New Cummins diesel engine replaced the Jaguar petrol engine.
Seems to be a Chinese company that carried out this upgrade.

It obviously should, just like every vehicle. But it is logical that vehicles present in more trees would get prioritised for pleasing a higher number of players for lower effort.
This is probably why something like a Leopard gets fixes done much quicker than a VT-4 or Type 10. Though I’d assume popularity of the tree and specific vehicle also plays a role in this.

It was still designed Type 89B, despite all those changes?
By the way does anyone happen to have Japanese source about Chi-Ha’s weight? I don’t think it should be the same 14.8 tons for each turretted variant.

Chi-ha (normal) is 14.3 tons.
Chi-ha kai (47mm turret) is 14.8 tons.

I submitted a bug report that should change the sight of Chi-Nu II, Chi-To, Chi-To Late, Chi-Ri II, Na-To, Ho-Ri Prototype, Ho-Ri Production to 6x magnification and 8 degrees FOV.
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/TkrAKWQNKqti
Currently they all have generic variable sights of 1.9x-3.5x magnification, except Ho-Ri, which have correct magnification but a different FOV (I was told FOV might be ahistorical for gameplay reasons):
