I believe so
They still have it, but just not sure if they still using it
M901A3, TOW 2 and a more powerful engine

Nothing, is just a new chasis to replace the current type 89 chasis, the turret and weapon system will remain the same
This is what the source links to on Wikipedia.
It’s certainly… interesting…

Pretty sure I read in one of these threads that the JGSDF has basically ran out of Jyu-MATs
Assuming that’s true, wouldn’t it make more sense to use the newer Chu-MATs instead?
Here’s with the Type 89 turret:
If i remember correctly the photos are from 2019 but as of today is canceled

Isn’t there a publicly available video on it’s testing showing it can tank 400mm of kinetic ammo? It was tested against 3bm46. Though the in-game 200mm could be a measure of one plate. I was expecting it to perform better smh.
Also isn’t there meant to be ERA all the way to the back? What are the huge blocks of armor for? They just don’t exist currently in the dev server.
I made a bug report to increase the engine power of the Chi-Ha and all of its direct variants with the SA12200VD engine from 170PS to 201PS.

In WT, tank engines perform according to the gross power output, as opposed to a net power output (power measured with losses due to driven accessories).
It appears that it was standard procedure to state the net power output as the maximum power of the engine in official Japanese vehicle specifications. This is of course sensible, because this is the power that actually reaches the drivetrain.
Due to this, it would seem that the maximum engine power value stated in essentially all sources on Japanese tanks is a net power output, and resultingly, basically all WWII-era Japanese tanks in WT are thought to currently use a net power value.
In other words, almost all WWII Japanese tanks in WT could potentially receive an appreciable increase in engine power with appropriate sources. For now, the only source I have which provides an explicit gross power output measurement is for the SA12200VD of the Chi-Ha.

A while ago i heard that Japan was upgrading the Type 90 to be able to use Type 10 APFSDS
How is that going and if it did conclude is there a possibility we could get a Type 90 (late)?
There was one news about it but from that no any more info. Probably it was something like suggestion from company which wasn’t agreed
Here isn’t any news about any new Type 90 modification at JSDF documents
I think they were modernising the Type 89 FV due to the Type 79 stockpile has ran bone dry (at least what i was told dont hold it as an absolute) so I think this is the first public display of the modernisation

We’d need some serious decompression if true. No way it’d sit at 11.7 or 12.0.
It was meant to replace the Type 89, but I don’t think it had anything to do with Type 79 stocks running low. The CTTV program, like the CTWV program, was meant to create a common platform for various vehicles to ease maintenance and production. Among those was an APC, to replace the Type 73 APC, and an IFV, to replace the Type 89 FV, which the latter was tested by taking the turret of the Type 89 FV and placing it onto a CTTV chassis. However, as far as I know, development of the CTTV ended with the adoption of the CTWV and the Patria AMV as Japan has chosen to implement a mostly wheeled light armor force instead of a tracked one. The CTWV has been adopted as the Type 24 WFV as a replacement for the Type 89 FV, the Type 25 RCV as a replacement for the Type 87 RCV, and the Type 24 MSP as a replacement for the Type 96 MSP; and the Patria AMV has been adopted as a replacement for the Type 73 APC and Type 96 WAPC.

Could be a partial reason ig an upgrade yea but also due to lack of an ATGM it would be redundant to keep it thus the upgrade
It is not so because CTWV project made to replace whiled vehicles in JSDF and there wasn’t news that it will replace truck vehicles.
