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

It has a rangefinder too

Type 1 Ho-Ni (Prototype)

Based. I really want it. They should’ve used more range finders

Right now I’m doing research for the Ho-Ri II, but perhaps someone here can do the Ka-To?

That would be so cool to have. I love these sort of tracked prime-mover tank destroyers.

Na-To with 75/55mm gun? Do you have anything about it?

Yeah that and what being said, range finder which is the major difference between prod. and proto. variants.
If added it would be the lowest rank vehicle equipped with a range finder.

Also unlike the production Ho-Ni, it had a Chi-Ha style commander periscope.

The original suggestion was approved in 2020.

And before someone says that there are too few photos so it is not possible to reproduce in term of the model, well:


Is there anything else for a skilled 3D artist would need to replicate a vehicle model other than a entire illustration of it from four angles ?

Regarding the ammunition layout, crew placement, vehicle characteristics and so on would be completely fine to copy from the already existing Ho-Ni I in the game.

Its an 8 year old reddit post from Mai so you know its 147% reliable fr fr. The gun is just a licensed version of the German Pak 41, so we have a decent idea of its performance.

Not to disagree with you, but I feel like people forget that we have the Chi-Ha LG, of which there is only 1 photo from the side lol.

We really need more ww2 stuff

I can’t think of a more reliable source!

There is a need for more WW2 stuff in general across all nations, even in the big three. There are some incredibly iconic, mass-produced, vehicles that are somehow absent (or at best, locked behind a paywall).

Maybe it sound strange, but i want more “jeeps” for JGSDF, like Mistubishi (I know there ATGMs like on Type 60 ATM) or Toyota with ATGMs. Also Toyota with Type 11.

JASDF and multi-vehicle system.

The only is needed is MMPM with 6 fire-and-forget + TVD and MM radar for target searching

Fire them in pitbull mode?

JASDF Type 11 can’t operate at all without FCS unit(s) - This capability is exlusive to the JGSDF as they were specifically asking for it.

edit: does the JGSDF operate any radar trailers?

Unfortunately those aren’t trailers, so gaijin can’t just use the existing trailer mechanic to add them.
