Can we chill out what is wrong with you
This one is really needed for enlisted… because Chi-He doesn’t have it and it is almost impossible use commander sight for comfort moving

Great information. It seems like the Chi-Ha and Shinhoutou Chi-Ha mostly used the Type 97 Periscope of 10x magnification, 4.5 deg fov, based on photos.
Chi-He had a periscope installed next to the cupola as well, which appears smaller.
According to the US document ORD TIR 21, this is a variable commander’s periscope from 2x magnification, 25 degree FOV, to 8x magnification, 6.25 degree FOV.
Further, it says that the gunner has a periscope like the US Army M6 periscope. I guess this means that the gunner had a port for mounting a 1x magnification periscope.
Perhaps there is a port about there.
For Chi-Nu, it says that the commander and gunner both have periscopes. For Chi-Nu, it seems that there was no dedicated periscope, but instead mounting ports for two “M6 style” periscopes.
for Chi-To: mount for commander’s periscope only, spec unknown.
for Chi-Ri: mount for dedicated commander’s periscope only.
I would guess that the Chi-To and Chi-Ri commander periscopes were probably to be the same type as Chi-He’s variable one. In photos of the prototypes they are not installed.

not a copy paste vehicle this time, due to the new engine and transmission, Pendekar actually can reach the western standard at mobility. It like the T-72B3 buffed.
Does it actually have a reverse gear this time?
The czech and polands upgraded T72 have new transmition so it has batter revers speed then russian counterparts
Yes, reserve too speed had reached not 4km/h, not 6km/h, but 23km/h!

Talking about that; I’ve created a suggestion for it and multiple other nice things, here is the list

Here is a Type 94 truck, similar to the one in-game, except armed with a Type 2 autocannon instead of a Type 98. Due to the higher fire rate and accuracy of the Type 2, I feel that this vehicle would be a good foldered upgrade under the current Type 94 AA, as the Flakpanzer 38 is to the Flakpanzer I in the German tree.

I believe the So-Ki should have the Type 2 as well

Indeed, I enjoy the So-Ki currently but it’s a tad bit dissapointing to me that it doesn’t get its historical armament.

wait , what historical armaments? Is it missing an ammo type or something?

As Noveos said above, the So-Ki actually used twin Type 2 cannons instead of the Type 98s it has in-game. If I remember correctly, the name of the tank is actually just derived from the twin cannon mount which was called the Experimental 20 mm anti-aircraft autocannon So-Ki I.

…There can’t just be good things happening to the JP tree in War Thunder without a monkey’s paw curling…
Is the A6M5 Ko to go to 5.7 as a result now, or R2Y2 to 8.3? :P

What kind of nonsense is that. Spall liners are found on literally every modern MBT, by modern I mean 1970+. It’s not even an add-on thing, this is what is expected for a modern MBT to come with as default. Is it called a liner, or is it integrated somehow else, but all modern MBTs have means to reduce spalling. There isn’t a single MBT in service that does not have that and it isn’t necessarily mentioned anywhere because as said, it is expected, a default, just like electric car windows aren’t mentioned on any pamphlets or technical specs anymore, because they are considered default in 2024, while in the '80 & '90 they were heavily advertised if they came with that feature, because they were not standard at that time for many cars.
