no its very different, kickapoo way better
This is the third Scorpion I’ve seen using Chinese ERA armor from VT-4.
Unlike the previous two, this one has upgraded gunner optic and better ERA coverage.

Damn… It just like me copying the question during the exam while I don’t know how to answer, just hope something good will happen. No sure what they learn from Russo-Ukraine War but that “armour” is definitely not enough to stop drone 😅

What are you expecting from the army that still give 0 protection to their machine gunner in 2026
Is that a welded steel plate or rubber plate?
over the engine intakes? looks like rubber/canvas over mesh to me. I wonder if its more for improvised incendiaries rather than drones, cant think of another reason to cover the engine…

Found some cool type 16 stuff might be good for a infantry APC.

To be fair type 16 is a rapid response vehicle and if it cant fit on a road or under a bridge things have gone bad.
I have submitted a bug report regarding the reload speed of the Type 74 Tank.
According to official specifications, the Type 74’s loading time is less than 4 seconds.
Because this issue has a significant impact on the Type 74’s in-game performance, I would like to ensure that it receives a review by the Tech Mods.
I would really appreciate it if you would click “I have the same issue” button.

On the topic of the Type 74 reload, something I’ve been curious about for a while is this, although it’s not really relevant to the game.
According to XD9002, the original production model of the Type 74 Tank had something called a “loading assistance device” (装填補助装置) which held 4 rounds. It was later replaced with the 6-round ammo box below the breech with the Type 74 Tank (B).
This is definitely not the “semi-autoloader” of the STB phase 1 prototypes, which was an actual automated 10-round chain magazine that moved shells up to the breech.
My guess is that this 4-round loading assistance device was a simple ready rack; perhaps a manually rotated round holder below the breech, or simply just a flat rack of 4 rounds.
It seems extremely difficult to find pictures inside an original specification Type 74, from before this was replaced with the simple box.

Reload times are a balance factor that Gaijin sets

I also don’t expect the reload time to be changed exactly to what I proposed in the report, due to game balance considerations. However, the current in-game reload time (8.7 seconds with a base crew) is more than twice as long as the reload time stated in the specifications (4 seconds).
I believe this is beyond what can reasonably be justified as game balancing. Balancing should be done within a range that does not deviate too far from the actual values.

sounds fair

8.7 to 6.7 is Gaijins default reload for medium calibre guns (76/90/105 etc)

Then it might be time to revise the default reload speed for 105×617 mmR rounds, given the new evidence.
In any case, I think the current reload speed is far too detached from reality.

I’m so curious about the performance of the ERA, too bad we’ll never know (at least in the near future)

Straight to 10.0 nooo

It’s likely very good or really bad I’m betting on bad because Japan does not have the experience in the ERA technology like the USA or Russia.
But anyway I hope we get it in game would be useful in infantry might eat an RPG.
