General Japanese & Thai Ground Forces Discussion HQ

Type 99 SPH uses Cluster ammunition, as well having a LRF+LWS (not ingame sadly)

VT-Fuse/airburst no, though its speculated that the CTWV’s have ability to use VT/AHEAD/Airburst Rounds

Where from is this information?

Yeah they get VT-fuse

Btw
If I hear another suggestion of the T-84 being added to Japan before their actual top tier tanks get added imma lose it.
No offense to you guys you guys are phenomenal. However we should absolutely be spamming gaijin and boycotting them over the Type 10 controversy. It’s horrendous

Will there ever be a ground event vehicle for JP

We will likely see a less common Thai vehicle or another ASEAN nation fill the event and premium slot similar to how Norway is for Sweden and Romania for Italy.

I’m actually curious as to how much of an effect Shtora has on the ATGMs irl

On March 18, 2025, a Shinhoto Chi-Ha arrived to Japan by container ship. This is the first time that this specific tank has been to Japan in over 80 years since it was captured by the U.S.

Interesting still is that the NPO apparently plans on visiting both Australia and the U.S. later this year to negotiate the return of even more vehicles; in Australia’s case I suspect this will be the Type 94 TK or 97 Te-Ke, but as for the U.S. I am not sure.

I’m surprised Japan doesn’t have a single example of their own tankettes. TBH, I’d rather they go for the Type 98 Ro-Ke in Australia…

To be fair the Ro-Ke isn’t nearly as significant as a tank such as the Type 97/94. Last I remember the only examples even close to Japan were the few Type 94 turrets found on Chichijima.

Are there any news abt Thai’s r600 platform with 120 turret.

Hopefully America doesn’t give away all of its Type 94s and Type 97s…

Well, it would certainly be interesting if something like the Ho-Ro, Ka-Tsu, or Ho-Ni I was brought back instead, but it could also be an American vehicle to represent one in former JGSDF service.

Chi-Ri I as well would be nice

we have Chi-Ri II but wheres Chi-Ri I?

You should check WT since last update
The tank we have always was Chi-Ri I but by mistake it was called Chi-Ri II.

Chi-Ri II is version with smaller hull and turret, no 37mm and autoloader and 500hp engine. This one was never built and was cancelled.

This is the Chi-Ri I as this was the first proposal for the Chi-Ri

the Chi-Ri II which is ingame is the 2nd configuration that almost fully built

Edit: Humors me you put the Chi-To Late as ur proof

I am talking about surviving Japanese military vehicles that could return to Japan. At most we could potentially see the mysterious Chi-To being dredged up from the bottom of Lake Hamana, but the Chi-Ri was scrapped long ago.
