That reminds me of something. I made bug report regarding the gunner clipping on the Ho-Ro. I think it got covered under the mountain of reports regarding gun clipping on MBTs. It needs some support to get noticed by this point unless someone makes a duplicate report.

uh that part with a bunch of bolts looks like a blowout pannel to me, the ammo rack its probably something like the vilkas turret,
yeah i think they are missing some details
looking at this picture there is a panel behind the hatch, it “probably” a blow-out panel

I actually collected several photos of that plate to bug report, but it seems pictures aren’t good enough

ooooff…
i do think it’s a real panel, what for? i don’t know, but it is still missing from the current vehicle though.
probably can be bug reported as visual bug.

As per the recent leaks, it seems as though Japan will be receiving the M44, a 155mm SPG based upon the M41 chassis.
As someone who is vehemently against copy paste I can’t say I love this addition, since it will quickly be overshadowed by the American version whenever the latter gets added, and I would much rather have an indigenous Japanese SPG such as the Type 56, Ka-To, or Type 74 even with their lower calibre 105mm guns.
Regardless, I have to appreciate that we are finally getting another lowish tier addition for Japan, and one that looks pretty fun at that.

Also i wouldn’t be surprised that if US mains would prefer something like the M55 since that SPG is a little different in the sense that has a different calibre
Perhaps, but the M55 would be larger, slower, with a longer reload, and worse gun handling. And either way, I don’t think Gaijin would miss the opportunity for an easy copy paste job for a major nation anyways.

Vehicles like M44 should be one of the absolute last resources for when there is nothing Japan made left to add.
I’m a little upset if this is the only thing we get for ground forces for the last patch of the year.
Still can not understand why the Type 74 SPH, the last remaining post-war domestically mass-produced SPH is still not in the game yet. And Gaijin has been avoiding from making Japanese ww2 tanks since i believe the Ka-Chi which was added back in 2021. Beside it is not like Japan is lacking of SPG to add either we have the Ho-Ni I Proto., Ho-Ni II, Ho-To, Ho-Ru, Ka-To etc.

There’s also the Type 56 SY.
Supposedly there was also a Na-To tested with the 75/55mm Type Ge squeezebore gun, which could be foldered with the current Na-To at 3.3~3.7 if its existence is substantiated.

It has the same gun as the Ho-Ni we have, right? The major difference is the gun shield?
