I didn’t mean in game but IRL
I know. ICV will not be getting ATGM IRL
Why? They really think that 30mm autocannon can providing enough firepower against heavy armour target?
They’re not designed to fight heavy targets?
ATGMs would certainly be a good defensive measure against armored targets, however, I think that because they are meant to be deployed with the Rapid Deployment Regiment, Japan would prefer them to not fight tanks.
Also, ATGMs would cause the testing phase to be longer, and Japan is trying to adopt the ICV as soon as possible.
They are IFV not APC, if they can only be use against enemy infantry or light armour vehicle then just using Type 89 or Type 96 is already enough
In a real-world scenario, the Type 24’s significance as an anti-tank vehicle is minimal. For enemy armor to reach Japanese soil, Japan’s defenses would need to be in an extremely dire situation, likely involving the complete neutralization of both the MSDF and U.S. Navy—a scenario that’s difficult to envision, especially with ASDF air support in play. Anti-tank responsibilities are typically handled by dedicated armor and anti-tank units, while the Type 24 primarily serves as an infantry transport with enough firepower for basic support rather than direct tank engagement.
In a more likely scenario, Japan could face enemy infiltration through airborne troops, where the Type 24’s infantry fighting capabilities would be ideal for responding to and countering smaller, more mobile threats rather than heavy armor.

Looks like I’m gonna have to bring it out again. Shouldn’t the Ho-Ni III be capable of this as well?

Okie dokie a lot of stuff to unpack here.
One) plenty of IFVs and Recce vehicles don’t have an ATGM
Two) they’ll be operating in tandem with the type 16s
Three) they’re designed to fight a island hopping war against the Chinese, and are only expected to fight amphibious vehicles and landing craft most of the time.
Four) the Type 87 and Type 96 are both being phased out due to issues with spares and concerns about protection against small arms, Type 87 partially with the RCV and ICV but also with a new hull, and the Type 96 is getting replaced with the Patria AMV
