man… if only some of these had stop watches or something to compare speed to time…

Any more information on this testbed? Of course a 50. cal isn’t viable at higher tiers but I could certainly see the LAV mounting a grenade launcher similar to the Type 96.

You mean like this?

No, I mean the RWS being tested on the LAV in my photo. I know it’s been trialed on the Type 16 as well, I was just wondering if there were any plans or ongoing considerations to standardize it, considering that remote weapons seem to be rising in popularity for light armored vehicles in many other militaries.

Russians do seem to like Japanese vehicles quite a bit from what I’ve heard and it’s not surprising they’d put them up there with tanks lol

How’d they get the Mega Cruiser?

This article sums it up nicely so I’ll spare everyone from my broken english.
Short answer, they just bought the HMVs. (Quite cheaply if I have to say, only 2 million roubles)

Ukraine only got HMVs from Japan recently and the first photos of the “russian” HMVs are from late 2022

Was there any version of the SUB-I-II that had a gunner that wasn’t exposed never have I felt more frustrated the armour doesnt bother me just the fact that the gunner dies from everything quickly same nonsense the M42 has its gunner also dies quickly more often then not it gets you killed

Does the Thailand VT4 have APS? it seems that Thai VT4 is the basic version one, hope it can have lower BR

SUB-I-II with 20mm is by itself the experimental version made from Type 73 exp. hull. So only one version of it was built with this turret specification

You can have gaijin add structure models, and that will help a little, a little :3

A lovely display of Japanese main battle tank engines. From left to right, the engines showcased are from the Type 10, Type 90, and Type 74 tanks. Note how the size of the engines becomes more compact with each newer model.

Nobody addopted VT-4 with APS. I doubt it is even mass-produced cuz nobody ordered it.
