The only Guntank I recognize anything else is no Guntank:
The OG GunTank
But still what makes a real guntank is it only a tank that goes all in on the gun or something. I know the Japanese did nickname the Type 87 Guntank but that was because it looked like the Guntank from the space opera tv show M.S.G.
from what I read it was because the type 87 looked like the Guntank from mobile suit Gundam. Which was popular tv show at the time. If you squint really hard you can see why I guess. But I have seen the term Guntank used to designate tanks before with vehicles that don’t look like the SPAA in question. So it must have had a meaning like tank destroyer.
And the Guntank went where no tank has gone before.
Spoiler
SPACE!
But I find it funny a TV show is where the nickname came from its even on the Warthunder Wiki
Based on the vehicle’s posture, the camouflage net in the foreground, and the positioning of the vehicle in the background, I found a video that likely shows the same vehicle. However, it was not demonstrating suspension movement but rather a combat drill demonstration.
Perhaps he mis-captioned a photo taken during emergency braking with “attitude control,” or perhaps he simply meant to point out that the suspension, stabilizers, and FCS keep the gun stable even during hard braking.
In any case, this does not prove that the 16MCV has attitude control functionality.
During the EFV event, I grinded a lot of vehicles from the M47 all the way to the Type 90, and ended up with two of them. I was planning to go for the TKX (P) next to complete an 11.7 lineup, but then Gaijin decided to decompress the BR and bumped the TKX (P) up to 12.0, which changed my plan.
Now I’m not sure if it’s even worth getting the TKX (P), or if I should just grab the Type 16 and Type 93 instead, so I can have five vehicles in Rank VII to grind the Type 10 slightly faster. The TKX (P) would probably just end up as a backup for Type 10 lineup.
To be honest, my luck with the Type 90 hasn’t been great. I’ve been losing a lot since its shells struggle against top-tier armor, and most matches end way too fast because of one-dead leavers and CAS.
Honestly, 9.3 matches were way more fun.
If I stay at 11.7, at least I’ll get some downtier games every now and then.
In some research for this i found some documents that stated in the original plans it was going to have passive hydro suspension which i assume just uses the system as a regular suspension system without control
Interesting nonetheless but i have no idea if the production model ever kept that
I made a bug report regarding the Type 10’s movement inertia (so it stops rocking around like ham), hopefully gaijin will see and fix this issue in the upcoming update
