Hard to tell if that black thing isn’t attached. If it’s not maybe it can turn 10-20 degrees? Or maybe barely missing the platform but limited to 180 degrees. There are videos of it off roading with people on it.
It might be able to make a full turn, just based off of turning the turrets in-game and seeing where they go.
Couldn’t find the explosive mass of each bomblet/chain explosive but if it’s enough to kill a tank why not have it in game? Would be like the Churchill AVRE Petard and sturmtiger.
Eh. I still don’t think it would really work. Even the Petard, for as limp as it is, still evaporates anything it touches unless you get Gaijined. The Type 92 would not, since there’s no fuze to set off the explosives. You would have to time the manual detonation correctly. It’s a fun idea, but it’s just too left-field from anything in-game.
Don’t really see the point on not adding it. Make one a premium/sqaud/event and the other a tt one. Yes I understand it’s similar but still good for line ups.
Oh, I see what you mean now. That “M3 75 mm Howitzer Carriage” is a misidentified T12. You can tell due to the gunshield, though it’s admittedly hard to make out with how grainy the photograph is.
The easy way to distinguish between them is that the M3 GMC’s gunshield has an angle going upwards to form its angular roof, while the T12 GMC’s gunshield is straight. Additionally, the soldier to the very left (from his perspective) has his legs going under the gunshield while part of his body is behind it. This wouldn’t be possible on the M3 GMC due to the gunshield extending slightly over the side, and the presence of side plating. The T12 GMC lacks that plating, instead just being composed of a singular flat plate with a cavity at the bottom corners of it, which would allow that soldier in the photograph to swing his arms underneath the gunshield while leaning against it.
You can see what I’m talking about in the photograph below. The cavities where he’s swinging his leg underneath are clearly visible.
Photograph of T12 GMC
I’m not aware of an instance where the Japanese could have even captured an M3 GMC. They weren’t deployed against the Japanese until the Battle of Saipan, and by that point, nearly every single battle afterwards was a losing battle for the Japanese, often times to very lopsided degrees. The GMCs that were initially deployed to the Philippines, which the Japanese did capture en masse, were all pre-production T12.
So, given that and that the “M3” GMC in those photographs are clearly T12 GMCs, I don’t think it’s accurate to say that they ever captured, and much less ever used, an M3 GMC.
