Perhaps the most vaunted establishment of the Japanese Armed Forces is its Navy. The modern-day JMSDF has a rich and illustrious history and is ranked amongst the best in the world. However, it would be difficult to separate its history and collective expertise from its predecessor, the Imperial Japanese Navy. Like its modern-day counterpart, the IJN was also a force to be reckoned with, easily competing with other great powers of the time. Thus, I would like to create this topic to consolidate …

Type 4 Ho-To, Tank Destroyer, Japan, Rank 2

The Experimental Type 4 12cm Self-Propelled Gun “Hoto” (試製四式十二糎自走砲 ホト) was a self-propelled gun developed by the Imperial Japanese Army towards the end of World War II.
Development began in the 19th year of Showa (1944), and it was purportedly completed in May of the 20th year of Showa (1945). Its exterior resembled that of the Type 4 15cm Self-Propelled Gun Ho-Ro. It involved removing the turret and front…

Has anyone suggested the Type 4 Ka-Tsu? I would love to see it as a rank 1 premium vehicle.

the chi-ha short barrel and long barrel are naval tanks just like the ka-mi and ka-chi so I see it as a ground vehicle
It’s a ground vehicle with no cannon for ground battle unlike all the IJN tanks you’ve mentioned which are equipped with tank gun or naval gun.
What can you kill with two torpedos in the ground battle ? Personally i don’t see the point in making a suggestion for it, at least as a ground vehicle.

its main armament is two 13 mm heavy machine guns and torpedoes were added later in preparation for the American invasion

I think within the framework of modern realities they will lack armor penetration even for a reserve position. You can, of course, make an ersatz SPAAG out of them, fortunately, among other things, these machine guns were intended to protect the vehicle from air attacks, but I’m not sure how appropriate this would be

from what I found out, the Type 93 13mm machine gun is already in the game and according to the sources I found, it had a penetration of 20mm at a distance of 500m

ホ式十三粍高射機関砲(ホしき13みりこうしゃきかんほう)とは、昭和8年(1933年)に大日本帝国陸軍が準制式制定とした口径13.2mmの高射機関砲。原型はフランスのオチキス社が開発したオチキス Mle 1929 13.2 mm 重機関銃(en)であり、同機銃を起源に持つ火器として大日本帝国海軍の九三式十三粍機銃がある。
陸軍では大正9年(1920年)7月22日付の第三九八号兵器研究方針に基づき、昭和3年(1928年)に高射および平射に使用可能な口径13mm程度の小口径対空火器として、イギリスのヴィッカース社よりヴィッカース.5インチ クラスD重機関銃(en、12.7x120mm弾を使用)を「ビ」式〇.五吋D型機関砲として購入し、試験を実施していた。しかしその弾道性並びに機能の成績が不十分であったことから、昭和4年(1929年)4月に「ホ」式十三粍双連高射機関砲(オチキス13.2mm双連高射機関銃)の仕様書を提出するに至った。同年12月に現物を入手し、翌昭和5年(1930年)1月より伊良湖試験場で射距離1,500m以下の地上射表および高射射表を得た結果、概ね良好な成績と認められた。同年3...
The Type 93 13 mm heavy machine gun (Japanese: 九三式十三粍機銃 Kyū-san Shiki Jū-san Mirimētoru Kijū), known to the Imperial Japanese Army as the Type Ho 13 mm AA machine cannon (Japanese: ホ式十三粍高射機関砲 Ho Shiki Jū-san Mirimētoru Kōsha Kikanhō), was a license-built version of the Hotchkiss M1930 machine gun used by the Empire of Japan during the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II.
This article relating to machine guns is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.
Look out for French reserve tanks, or just about any tank with a 2.0 combat rating. They are all simply invulnerable to this machine gun. In addition, the Ka-Tsu will have no advantage in armor, no advantage in size, no advantage in speed, or any other advantage over its counterparts.
therefore, a premium interesting vehicle of the 1st rank, for example anti-aircraft.the first m2 also has little armament, which is only the browning m2.
sorry for the crappy english

Type 3 Ke-Ru, Light Tank, Japan, Rank 1
[result (1)]
The Ke-Ru is a vehicle designed to enhance firepower by equipping the Type 97 57mm tank gun, similar to the Ke-Ri, on the chassis of Ha-Go. However, in reflection of the Ke-Ri’s difficulty in operating the main gun due to the cramped turret space, caused by mounting a 5.7cm tank gun in the same turret as the Ha-Go, the turret ring diameter on the Ke-Ru side was increased to 1,350mm (compared to the original 1,000mm of the Ha-Go). The mo…

[438433a6e3b8e3f2b5cdc3d8d6fb4afb (1)]
The challenges faced by Japanese tanks during the Pacific War against American counterparts necessitated a strategic shift towards developing vehicles with potent anti-tank capabilities. Japan’s limited national resources prevented the mass production of powerful tanks, leading to the adaptation of existing vehicles for this purpose. Drawing inspiration from German innovations, particularly the Hetzer tank …

they look funny i want them
Although it may make for an interesting coastal vehicle, I’d rather seen other much more wanted/need additions first, like the Ke-Ho for example
I bow to you 🙇♂️
Did you think the the Ha-Go with the Type 98 would be worth it?
Type 98 is installed on late production Ha-Go which are the ones we have in the game.
I have already reported on the Ha-Go having wrong gun, they just wont fix it.
