Indeed.

Whoever thought that the IRIS-T SLM and the Tan-SAM kai (or CLAWS, or CS/SA5, etc etc) belong in the same BR deserves a damn medal.

When they say “not enough info” they should let you put more info rather than just closing the report

in the Fire power exercise 2025, you can hear the host mentioning “ni-go shiki” 25式 meaning Type 25

‘‘no source in the report’’
too hard for them to copy and paste the names into google?

Gaijin once again ignoring official stuff from Japans Mod.go

That’s not how bug reports work lmao. for better or for worse the burden of proof is on the person making the bug report.

If it’s not too hard for them to copy and paste names into google, is not too hard for you to copy and paste the results of that search into the bug report?

The Japanese localization already has the Type 24 RCV named correctly in game, is it too bold to assume they do have the proof then?

We might get it 2 year after Russian get S-400, because Russian bias…😅

AFAIK the Japanese localisation is handled by DMM, not Gaijin. And again, you made the bug report, you need to provide the sources. It’s really that simple.

Not always, I filed reports of incorrect translations and theres still no change (e.g. Type 79 ATGM in JP should be 79式) but its Type 79 still

Type 24 ICV is there, Type 25 RCV as the designation was a late bloomer being granted early this year.

Well, according to MaiWaffentrager, if you believe half of what she says that is.

On a sidenote I also stumbled upon this comment of hers, to which I really have to ask where she sources some of her information from because I have not once heard of any Sherman being properly captured by the Japanese during WW2.

At least one T-37A as well, although judging by this text the Japanese may have mistaken it for a T-38 instead.

Oh nice, does that mean that both got accepted into service, not only the ICV?

Yes, the RCV, the ICV and the mortar.

Correct, The Type 24 MMCV and Type 24 ICV, now the Type 25 RCV

Here’s hoping that one day they will put ATGMs on the ICV. Maybe Type 01 or maybe even MPMM?
