Today was checking info about Type 93 again and here is photo of FCS panel
So, here is button which I understand as “Multi targets”.
So can it be for this?

👍 yup
The console confirms it, and the TRDI 50th Book also mentions multi-target engagement, so I believe it’s possible as long as the targets are within the field of view.
Here are also “Rapid fire mode” or something in the left of Multi-target button so maybe it is also part of this mode? Looks like all of this should be added to the report as for me

You’re right. The TRDI 50th Book states, “Confirmed rapid-fire capability against multiple targets,” so I’ll make the correction. Thank you for pointing it out.
On second thought, should this be treated as a separate feature and submitted as a new bug report instead?

Tbh hard to say. It should work as TWS in new SAM but for IRST? I don’t know are here mechanics for this but report anyway can be created because it is real feature. Interesting how it worked. Automatic? Or SAM automatic switched to another target and you manually push to launch?
What is more interesting as for me - is there any type of IRST on Type 93’s camera? Because it would be nice to get possibility for automatic image scanning and target locking for this vehicle.

What’s the story of this thing?
The I-Go has a prototype that could be added, that would probably be a bit better considering it’s using a higher-velocity gun taken from the Vickers Mk. C that they imported as a reference for the I-Go.
The Ha-Go has four distinct prototype phases. The initial prototype, the second prototype modified with a lighter weight, the third prototypes modified with the distinct side “bulge” and commander’s cupola, and the last prototype with the rear machine gun turret installed which made it indistinguishable from production versions. There’s also the Ke-Ri, which was an attempt to place the Type 97 5.7 cm tank gun inside of a normal Ha-Go turret before they decided to just outright replace the turret with one taken from the Chi-Ha in the later Ke-Nu.
The Ke-Ni B could be added and the current Ke-Ni could be renamed the Ke-Ni A. The Ke-Ni with the prototype 47 mm gun could also be added.
The Chi-Nu prototype could be added, though it would be effectively the same aside from aesthetic differences and using the Type 90 7.5 cm instead of the Type 3 7.5 cm. The Chi-Nu with the Chi-To turret could be another addition, though imo the current Chi-Nu II should be replaced with the Chi-Nu/Chi-To combination and the Chi-Nu II made a regular tank between the Chi-Nu and the Chi-To in the tree.
The Ho-I could have its prototype added, which would be more poorly armed and armored. The initial prototype used the Chi-Ha instead of a modified Chi-He hull, meaning the front was only 25 mm thick, and it used the Type 41 7.5 cm gun instead of the Type 99 7.5 cm gun. There was also a later modification of the production version that installed the prototype 5.7 cm (ko) gun, which would serve as the middle ground between the Type 1 47 mm and the Type 3 7.5 cm in terms of penetration.
That same 5.7 cm gun was also installed in the first prototype version of the Chi-To.
The Ho-Ni I prototype could be added, though like the Chi-Nu it would largely just be aesthetic. The gun shield was a little less protective than the production version, though not by much.
The Chi-Ha was used as the basis for the TG and GS vehicles, and at least one was experimentally modified with a dozer.
There’s the second prototype of the Type 87 RCV that could still be added. We currently have the initial prototype.
The Type 89 FV was experimentally fitted with the Type 92 mineroller attachments, though this never reached any production vehicles.
The earlier prototypes of the Type 16 MCV and the Type 10 TK could all be added, both are missing a few.
The Type 61 TK could have its STA-2B and STA-4 prototypes added. The former would be a slightly buffed STA-2 while the latter would be practically identical to the Type 61.
The Type 74 could have its STB-4 prototype added.
The Type 90 has five prototypes that could be added, of which the first two used the 105 mm JSW gun.
The Type 60 SPRG has six prototypes that could be added. They would be more lightly armored than production vehicles, and the first four prototypes (SS-1, SS-1 kai, SS-2, SS-3) all used the M27 rifle, which means they would have 127 mm of penetration even with their best available HEAT. The SS-4 and SS-4 kai both used the M40 that formalized as the 106 mm rifle on production vehicles. The SS-4 prototype was later modified as an ATM carrier with two Type 64 ATMs, which could be a neat meme.
The Type 75 HSP prototype could be added and would be a general meme, since it would have an open turret.
The Type 87 AW could have its AWX prototypes added, of which there were two prototypes in three versions: the first fitted on a Type 61 chassis, the second fitted on a Type 74 chassis, and the second later modified with plates for the Type 92 mineroller.
An M24 Chaffee was later modified at one point to carry four Type 64 ATMs on the sides of its turret.
Those are all of the prototypes of IJA and JGSDF production vehicles that I know of.

I think you’re talking about this one? Neat little thing, although ammo capacity looks nonexistent.
There was also one with a backwards-pointing launcher and some kind of ground radar.
There was also at least one Type 60 ATM fitted with four launchers.
And the uparmored Type 61 that has been spotted once or twice.
Type 16 also had at least one very unique prototype, with the turret in the middle.

Regarding that “uparmored” Type 61, it appears to be followed by a vismodded vehicle, which makes me think that similar to the Type 74s, the armor is purely cosmetic. Could still be added, but it’d take after the Red Star Type 74 and the vismodded Abrams in-game more than anything else.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Ka-To refers to Chi-To-based SPG armed with 105 mm gun (found on Ho-Ri Prototype) and that thing on picture looks like some Ro-Go Experimental with some 105 as well

Yeah, check the old forums, a suggestion has been made on this one.

The only way for us to get these types of vehicles in War Thunder is to just make them ourselves.
We haven’t gotten any WWII vehicle for the TT since IXWA Strike (march 2021) and that was a A6M5 HEI, a foldered vehicle.
I still want the CCV man

I want this + the current tansam kai to be fixed (theres still a list of bugs but gaijin no want to fix D:)

That is what I assumed too, especially noting what appears to be fire simulation devices on the roofs of those Type 61s. This image may depict the same tank, albeit with some differences
Even then, the sideskirts here seem to be rather thick, so I guess it would prove useful to have in-game. I also have a version of the second photo with a @_N4MELESS watermark in the top right corner, so perhaps they might know something?
