General Japanese & Thai Ground Forces Discussion HQ

What I’m worried about is Gaijin deciding to reduce the ATGM from 6 down to just 4 to “balance” the fact that it can fire on the move. Since it’s not clear whether the BTR-3E1 actually carries 6 ATGMs by defaut in real life.

Yup, saw it multiple times in the forum.
I was refering to the current time in-game.
But the ATGM is really not insane. It is slow and I feel like it has not much post-pen damages

welcome to the russian ifv stock syndrome

Yeah english ifvs much better in stock

more eco armor anyway this would be useful in infantry mode helping stop ant-tank rockets / drone.

Just the looks

I hate laziness, Gajin. They model the Type 91 machine gun in the Type 89 I-Go tank the same way as the Type 97 machine gun. It’s so bad, these guns differ quite a lot from each other.

They are old models

That doesn’t mean I can’t complain.

True Gaijin will get around to updating them when they do.

Is there any chance it will be fixed?

Type 90 as well. The mantlet is not a one-piece design.

The model for the left-side armor on the Type 90 is misaligned.

The M2 HB is supposed to have a 360-degree horizontal range and a pitch range of -10 to +60 degrees, but—though I can’t say this out loud—according to the specs on a certain website, it’s listed as -120 to +120 degrees and -8 to +60 degrees.

Oh, it was actually listed on Wiki.

Yea, I’d love to see a complete model rework for the type 90, especially because if the br it’s at.
Is there any information on the type 90s armor?

Is the possibility of the heavy tank no. 5 (japanese panther) getting added today basically zero? I was looking at the late-ww2 Japanese line-up and it was pathetic. Everything except 2 premiums is a cold war vehicle. Stuff like Chi-se and Ho-ri 2 seem off the table. Ka-to or O-I could be added, but it’s bordering on the same place as the Hungarian 44M Tas where there are only written sources of it being built. Knowing Gaijin, they will not add it.

Also speaking of ww2. Are there any suggestions yet on filling the Thai ww2 line? They had the ha-go… There’s going to be a huge gap here with nothing to fill it I feel.

You answered your own question. Ho-Ri (Historical), Ka-To, O-I, and Ta-Ha among others are all partially constructed prototypes that did exist in the (incomplete) flesh and are confirmed by official Japanese sources. While a bit on the nose, I think they are perfectly capable of being added within existing game parameters.

Sure, they seem a bit out of place in online discussion, but I think once people warm up to them and understand their legitimate place in history and the reasons we lack photographs and proper documentation, it will be totally accepted that they are the pinnacle of WW2 Japanese armor manufacturing in terms of armor and firepower and as such deserve a place ingame.

Not impossible, just unlikely. I think its more likely than other captured vehicles since Japan doesn’t really have an armoured option in TT at any rank.
