Flak 18 was the famous 88.
Both the first version of the 88 and 37 were called flak 18, idk why kinda confusing

yeah was about to say probably something to do with Germans wanting to trick the allies in the 1930s that those were older designs from 1918

I’m actually so full of copium with this image.
Too bad there’s not a lot of information on this vehicle

lol you should hold on to that considering the state of Cold War Japanese Small arm programs.
Built gun → test gun → only have one image.

→ The entirety of the information on it comes from a hobby magazine published in the 90s or early 2000s.

lol even worse. Funny how in Japan plastic model kits tend to have so much information on the item.

Ah, I know. I just wish things like that weren’t so monopolized. It’s an over 80 year old design, the world won’t end because you let some nerds on the internet go crazy over a tank.

Once we mass produce the O-I we will put an end to the U.S.A. marine corps in no time! - Some over eager Imperial officer before O-I broke down in the mud.

One more super heavy tank design will save the Axis nations from defeat, trust.

It is the picture of Type 1 37mm AA yeah. I don’t remember was it license or copy but they adopted it and made like tens of them. Then decided to stop production for copying Bofors (but they started to produce Bofors only in 1945)
This gun later was planned to be used on Ta-Ha, but need to note that it wasn’t specially made for Ta-Ha. Firstly it was made as field AA

There is enough information, all I did not see was the internal mechanism of loading the gun, otherwise everything is there. There was nothing stopping the developers from turning half of the game’s fleet into fantasy (since most of the ships existed only conceptually on paper without accurate drawings and data). Somehow, the developers were able to add Ho-Ri and other paper tanks, many planes are also fiction (but nothing stopped the developers from setting them up the way they think), all modern tanks are also mostly fiction. Here, having a sufficient amount of data, the banal laziness of developers comes into effect, because there is nothing to copy the machine from and everything has to be done from scratch.

What important information is missing?

Everything about load system performance
Everything about FCS
Most about gun itself (only that it is 105mm)
Everything about crew number and location
We know really good about chassis - engine power (650hp if I remember correct), transmission type and its speed (it use HMT, same hydromechanical transmission type as Type 10) but it is only what we really know
And there is difference between what we know and what we may suppose based on poor guesses
