It seems like the meaning of tree growth is a little different. I think it’s about increasing the number of vehicles, regardless of rank. With that in mind, I think there is a possibility that other countries’ land trees will expand.

I thought we were talking about top tier expansion, my bad.
With that in mind, I do believe that most nations still have a decent enough stock of options left for content that isn’t just straight filler, and there is no doubt that a subtree like Thailand for a minor nation like Japan will be of much benefit if done properly.

Has Japan canceled atgm on IFV since the Type 89? it’s too terrible when I take Japan’s light tank to BR 12.0.

Transit process of the Fredericksburg Chi-Ha Kai; February, 2025.
Spoiler
Final preparations include cleaning the interior of critters and washing the exterior
Apparently, a smoke grenade launcher was discovered inside

Arrival to the Port of Los Angeles
From here the ship departed on March 2nd, and thus is still en-route to Japan, so any future updates are pending.
The developments are speeding up, and a recent conversation between representative director Masahiko Kobayashi of the NPO and President Suzuki of FineMolds brings to light a lot of their ideas for the future technology museum they have planned.
I watched the whole thing, and it’s obvious that both men have great passion for these vehicles and wish to see Japan’s more historical armor brought to attention where it is often forgotten. Such things discussed include the possible acquisition of the Tsuchiura I-Go and Chi-Nu, the display of retired JGSDF vehicles such as the M24, M4, and Type 61 (in addition to whatever modern ones they can get their hands on), and even a brief mention of the future recovery of the Chi-To in Lake Hamana.
I also know that Kobayashi has apparently been interested in obtaining future pieces from the U.S., in addition to some possible American postwar vehicles to represent those that were fielded by the early JGSDF.

Japan has this, the Middle-range Mutli-purpose Missile launcher on a Toyota Mega Cruiser. I don’t know how effective it would prove, it has LOAL and can target both ground targets and helis. The range is probably too strong tho, I believe it was like 8 kms?

This T O Y O T A is so needed
The most needed vehicle for Japan tree…

It has the LOBL via IR seeker and LOAL via radar coordinates and then IR seeker work
The range from Kawasaki pamphlet is around 10km. But need to note that on this range missile will more gliding than flying. But it should has more potential energy than Spike LR

I’d kill to see it in game. It is also said to carry additional ammunition in the canvas part. Obviously it would also get the placeable ammo box.
Sadly, I don’t think we will evee get it. It could literally sit at spawn and target enemies in their own spawn. Probably not too fun to fight against in open maps.
It is not proved and only suppose. In standart it has only 6 missiles
But it anyway will be enough especially with ammo box
No? I mean, it is totally the same as Spike. Only different is with radar but idk will they realise it. So in game it will be okay
Didn’t really notice this bit initially. If they added it with only LOBL, it could work without breaking the game.
I’m really curious why Japan don’t install these on CTWVs

Guaranteed to be weight or size. Those missiles aren’t small.
Has there been something new about it? I thought any hopes were abandoned after the last search efforts only found mud or do I remember wrong?
The most capable flankers in service today were built in China and are in Chinese service exclusively. There’s only a couple places Russian technology in terms of military industrial complex stuff is superior to Chinese MIC still. The Chinese still don’t quite have anything as capable as a Ka-52 or Mi-28NM, and it’s looking like they’re gonna import Ka-52Ks.

We used to think about it, but now China is not going to order the Ka-52K. Because the Z-20 or Z-21 may be able to be used on Type 076 amphibious assault ships.

Ah, well, that’s a bit of a shame for WT purposes. Ka52s are really cool helicopters.
Nothing new, there was the funded search in 2015 that included professional divers and a magnetic survey, but nothing came of it.

Mr. Kobayashi here seems quite confident that the tank is still present, likely buried under the mud, but as of the moment he is much too busy to conduct a search.

Rather than getting one from the US they should just repair one of the many in the Pacific
There aren’t really any Shinhoto Chi-Has left for taking in the Southern Pacific, only those in the Russian-owned Kuril Islands.
