Watch this, it’s probably going to end up as the only token WWII vehicle in the entire upcoming March update.

Speaking of Japan, any plans to actually put the seeker of the Type 81(c) on the game screen? it’s only been TWO DAMN YEARS!
Finally, an addition I can get behind and really enjoy.
The only confusing part to me is why, at least judging by the devblog, will this vehicle will not be coming with APHE? Don’t get me wrong, I am fine using HEAT, but the APHE is an important footnote of WW2 Japanese artillery due to its use for makeshift anti-tank duties and should absolutely see representation where applicable.

ho ni shit, that’s amazing.
I just have to say… the team who does asset creation for tanks… whatever they’re paying you, it’s not enough 😤. I love to see all the little details.
Hasn’t this vehicle been in the files for years? Glad they decided Japan deserves WW2 vehicles
