After 2 years Type 10 and TKXs can now* pivot with one track.
But the bug that makes vehicle want to drift when driving forward and turn, it still not smooth as other MBTs but they did labelled as fixed in the bug report. ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

Missing the vertical frame it seems
There would be no point of arming it with a weapon, as it is clearly purpose-built for riot control and never intended for the armed forces.
Refer to the image I posted in the suggestion for this vehicle, the better quality image shows us the actual turret shape, which is identical to the other photos. The gun is the same size when you compare the photos, your perspective might just be off.
Pretty sure this tank was just for trials, so it wouldn’t have been modified with something as signifigant as a 13.2mm MG. I recall seeing another Japanese image of this vehicle somewhere in which it kept the original 8mm.
I assume this was taken at Aberdeen Proving Ground after both vehicles were captured by the U.S.

Type 74 Red Star ★ ,The first uparmored Type 74 in the game!
More armor has been added in the latest dev server, including the rubber flaps, but the small wooden logs on both sides provide no protection like Soviet logs.
The dummy applique armor is about 5mm thick but offers reasonable protection against HEAT-FS at certain angles, especially from a direct frontal attack.
I honestly have no reason to buy it, especially since I already have the Type 74G.
Although, I kind of want it just because of how cool it looks.
Well, if they lower the Type 87 RCV to the same BR, I will seriously consider getting it because then I would have a really fun lineup with the Type 74C, Type 87 SPAAG, and Type 87 RCV.

Ditto
but I’d have a hard time recommending it just because of how awful my experience was spading the Type 74C
Type 74 is horribly hit or miss imo. I cant tell if i hate it or find it bearable because every match is decent or bad. Probably just my crummy luck.
I don’t need it, but I want it. There is something about tanks without sideskirts, I really wish they would give us a toggle for them.
I posted a discord link.
Here it is, everything translated and posted as photos in the discord

Chaiseri has unveiled the new First Win ARV, which, while still based on the First Win platform, is noticeably lower than the standard model. This reduced height enhances concealment while maintaining standard armor protection and the ability to mount a remote-controlled weapon station (RCWS).
Reports indicate that this project was developed to meet the requirements of a foreign client for an international competition.
Praying for some big boom sticks on it.

It got a turret traverse upgrade irl, I wonder why we don’t have it
What turret traverse update?
What is different about this chassi? But it would be cool to add, Type 16 is kinda lonely at 9.7
I hope one day Japan will look into a 120mm gun on a wheeled platform, that or develop a better shell better than Type 93.

The suggestion is here, but TLDR, not much. It’s a slightly improved for the crew Type-16, Think Type-90 vs Type-90B, but would allow for a 2nd Type-16 without direct C&P.
I doubt that’ll happen unfortunately, the whole idea behind Type-16 is island hopping and being relatively light and mobile, the added space and weight of a 120mm does somewhat defeat the point etc.
They probably are, but I haven’t heard about anything.

I think the Type 74 is one of the most nerfed MBTs, it lost it’s 400+mm god mantlet, lost it’s reverse gears, the poor sound balancing of it’s IRL recorded audio easily makes them some of the loudest MBTs in game while moving, the 1st order ammo changes placed a big ammo rack in the back of the turret and I’m pretty sure it’s turret drives got nerfed at some point as well.
The later 74s got railgun ammo but the 74C sits awkwardly between the Turm III/T-55AM and doesn’t have a whole lot to show for it. This and the Turm III or the only vehicles stuck with DM13/M392A2 above 8.0, at least the Turm III brings a 5 second autoloader and has half a Falcon strapped to it (and it’s faster), I’d really like to see the 74C get M728.
