I always thought Type 81 (C) ARH would be PESA like the search radar. But that was just a guess, it would be interesting to see more on the seeker
a different thing compared to other spaa is that it gets a sight view, IRIS-T SLM for example, but for the Type 81 its inverted and only works when ur in said vehicle
The bmp I showed had its 37mm removable and the gun was raised instead of directly mounted to the roof, for the ki mi I can’t tell since it’s too rusted. For the tilt the roof has rusted away and the gun collapsed. Lastly I did find some examples of the Ki Mi without the giant exhaust but still had the floats.

unfortunately this ka-mi version is fake
A bit more realistic than whatever the hell this is though

Well the the structure mounted behind the turret is just a hollow tower to allow proper air intake while in the water, so even with it removed the gun would still be sitting on top of the vent.
Not to mention the Ka-Mi was designed to be light for obvious reasons, so adding around 2,400 extra pounds at the direct rear of the tank probably isn’t a very great idea.

Out of curiosity how heavy was the floats?
At least according to the wiki page they added an extra 3.15 tons of weight to the vehicle
