General Japanese & Thai Ground Forces Discussion HQ

After re-reading the well-written Type 90 prototype suggestions by Tasty on the old forums, I think you are correct.

I don’t remember where I read about it being able to fit in the Type 90, but perhaps it is just a mix-up referring to the downsized 120mm version found in the second prototype.

Thank you, I can’t wait to see it.

A bit of late news, but Japan is trialing mothballing of some of their retired equipment such as the Type 74. A trial has been set for next year, and if results are promising, may continue on a larger scale.

Vehicles include the Type 74, Type 90, and (supposedly M270) MLRSs.

Site isn’t accessible in my country, what’s happening exactly?

Keeping type 74s as backup tanks in case lf emergency

That’s… interesting. Sounds like they’re thinking there aren’t enough Type 10s.

I’ve updated the post to include 2 news links.

Afaik, around 300 Type 10s are to be produced all in all.

Mothballing will allow some backup force in case of emergencies, and I personally expect a next-gen MBT to be out by around 2030.

No news on the Type 87s exactly, but have they already started retiring the Guntank?

Any idea what the hell is this is it a bug?

Some have theorized that it could be for use in defensive positions at the Tottori Sand Dunes, but maybe it’s just as likely to be for overseas deployment.

seems pretty interesting honestly cant wait for someone to speedrun this skin for custom skins
