It was never promised but only reported
Reports, even internal, can’t “promise” anything until there won’t be any special announcement about it by community manager or other official person
There is various bugs and issue’s spanning 3+ years that are set on “accepted”
Are they going to actually correct these issues？ Or will they just ignore it for 0 reason
I only said that your claim about “promise” is false and only this, I am not Gaijin CEO to know any dev plans

Well they did promise no top tier premiums and to not buy ur way to the top (meanwhile in todays day n age)
I was wondering if we had old photos proving it was a post war mod on a disabled tank if not this would be a cool event vehicle. I found some examples of rear mounted guns on working tanks.

Small buff for type 89.
Type 89— the ability to load another missile without shooting the already loaded one has been added.

Some changes regarding the Tan-SAM kai:
ARH missile
- lowered drag
- increased max range ( 10 km → 14 km)
Spoiler
Radar
- besides the normal 360 degrees search mode, the radar now has an area search mode (110 degrees horizontally), though it needs fixing as the entire radar antenna is rotating despite the area scan only being electronical
Spoiler
- the radar antenna supports are now modelled correctly
Spoiler
- the radar antenna doesn’t fold down when turned off - probably will be fixed in the future
- radar got TWS ESA mode
Launcher
- when operating the entire system from the TADS vehicle, only one launcher launches a missile, not both at once
- when operating the entire system from the TADS vehicle, you can choose manually which launcher you wan’t to fire
Spoiler
- you can change the missile type without having to fire all the missiles of the previous type
Spoiler
The are also some changes to the Anti-Air Interface, but that’s the case for all top tier AA.
All it needs at this point is to fix the above mentioned issues (rotating antenna in area scan and the radar antenna not folding when turned off) and IOG + DL and LOAL for the IR missile.

Bug report regarding the low visibility smoke that should be present on the SAM-1C missiles. There’s been a few reports already, but we gotta keep trying.

it just got fixed, it now has it’s proper 14km range
It looks like it got less drag but the motor itself hasn’t been changed?
What’s the vertical search angle now?
70 degree

Both missiles we have are the Type 81 (C) missile, just with lightwave and radar seeker respectively.
We don’t have any Type 81 / Type 81 (B) missiles yet that would have a weaker motor.

Very nice.
Beacouse it can’t function without radar

I don’t believe I’ve seen any photos of this tank without the 25mms yet, but the tilt of the guns tells me that it wasn’t attached very well.
In fact, the guns seem to be placed right on top of if not inside the engine bay, which is of course not acceptable for standard operation.

Because the Type 81 (B) (and the base model Type 81, since the missiles are identical) would be terrible 11.3s.
They’d have a weaker motor, beinging the range down to 7km (5km effective). Their seeker is also worse, being only a regular IR seeker with no optical guidance and worse IRCCM.
There’s also no ARH version of these missiles, so what you see is what you get and the range isn’t getting any better.
And as if this wasn’t already bad enough, the launchers aren’t a self contained system anymore, so if your FCS vehicle is destroyed, so are the launchers.
The launchers can still function independently (thanks Skultew)
It would not be a good 11.3 with this performance

From what i could find online the 81C ARH variant on top of the new seeker also recieved a motor upgrade in order to hit that 14km range
although gaijin has not implemented it
