The document also states that the Type 94 truck weighs 3,400 kg.
The Isuzu Type 94 SPAA weighs 5.3 tons in the game, but I think it is overweight since the curb weight of an Isuzu Type 94 six-wheel truck is 3.4 to 3.5 tons and the total weight of the 20 mm Type 98 cannon including wheels etc is 430 kg. Maybe 5.3 tons should be the total weight with the payload loaded to the max.
In Enlisted, the Isuzu Type 94 weighs 5.3 tons even though it is just a cargo truck not carrying a 20 mm cannon.
We deserve the best Type 74 inside the tech tree.
Speaking of obscure Japanese vehicles, there is currently a crowdfunded project underway to restore a very rare Ha-Go variant: a bulldozer created postwar to aid in the reconstruction of Japan.
A living witness of post-war reconstruction, the Type 95 light tank modified bulldozer to the next generation! (Masahiko Kobayashi (Representative of NPO “Association for the Creation of the National Defense Technology Museum”) 2024/02/27 Published) - Crowdfunding READYFOR
The organization taking on this restoration is planning on opening a museum in 2027, in Gotemba City. Other vehicles that will be present in the museum include:
The only restored Ha-Go in Japan (complete with original Mitsubishi engine!)
Looks like the Type 95 Ho-Fu, an artilley tractor.
You can see the cable spool at the rear.
Wonderful. I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I hope the last surviving Type 98 Ro-Ke gets saved as well.
Pacific Wrecks - Type 98 Ro-Ke Prime Mover
The museum it was at closed down a while ago. I would imagine it’s only rusting away at this point
Surviving Panzers lists one at a memorial in Guadalcanal. However Pacific Wrecks notes this as being a Type 92 I-Ke Prime Mover. The link leads to a Russian website about the Kuril Islands, so it’s likely a mistake.
The Beck Military Museum vehicle is probably indeed the last of its kind unless another happens to be found in the future.
Also, it is worth mentioning the same Beck Museum Ro-Ke was offered to the Japanese organization I wrote about above, but they refused due to already having preparations for the bulldozer Ha-Go restoration. So perhaps it will be considered for the future.
ah, it’s great to know they are at least considering it!
I dont know where to post this but I would just like to revive interest on the old proposal for the Kayaba Ka-1 Autogyro developed by Kayaba industry and was extensively used by the Imperial Japanese Army for the ASW/Armed Recon roles.
Original Proposal: Kayaba O-1 - Passed for Consideration - War Thunder - Official Forum
Its armed with 2x 60kg bombs or 2x depth charges and was produced since 1941 but the prototype was built since 1939. Quite a lot of them were also built, with ~98 units estimated that were built. This wouldnt be the best for CAS but its got the meme potential and a fun CAS to have. Even if it was unlockable by Rank 4, the BR could be set to fight battles in like Rank 2 or something.
It was passed for consideration but its no longer in the Passed for Consideration list for Japanese Helis. If one could make an updated proposal for this so that it might actually happen, please do; anyways heres more pictures.
Here’s a video I found on the testing of its prototype the Kayaba Ka-Go.
They would be best at 1.0, with unlocking rank II being required to research them. This will keep them separate from the rest of the helicopter tree because, quite frankly, they would be utter crap aside from the meme factor.
All i see is a bunch of american prisoners lol
German prisoners*
The vehicle behind is the M41German Tank Improvement (GTI) evaluated in Thailand.
Am I the only one who noticed this? The composite armor on the right side is not fully modeled to match the armor cover like on the left side.
It should be little thicker to match the gunner side wall same as on commander side.
If necessary, I can write suggestions today
I just remembered I actually did report it two years ago, but of course, a reliable source is required, even though this whole turret armor is already created with the developers’ imagination in the first place.

Man i wish 🤣
Mitsubishi made 468 bricks for Type 74, just need to know their performance and how they would be installed on the tank 🤔
