Right thats the one ww2 vehicle per update, disappointed. Its a good addition but theres so many more you could addm
hopefully the amount of love towards this dev blog will encourage gaijin to keep it up.
Can’t wait for the hungarian prop we were teased about! It will 100% be WW2
if gaijin can accept the track link existance it will come (hopefully) at either TT or premium, heck, squadron vehicles need some low tier love too.
It’s always nice when they remember WW2 exists lol. Too bad this is an old model from the files

It will be, because if not Gaijin headquarters is way too uncomfortably close to the hungarian playerbase 😬

Will it get foldered with other Ho-ni’s?
That looks exactly like my oldest cat… What did you do???
Ok, so, does it still get the APHE rounds, or will they needed to be reported?
Also since you changed the text from AP to HEAT, and yet you still need to hit weakspots, have the Devs decided the penetration is just 80mm, while per different sources its 80mm at 500m and 120mm at some 1000m or so. That will make it just worse than the 7,5 cm Heat on the HO-I.

Prb cause HEAT is ‘primary’ ?
Spoiler
I assume APHE is 80mm~ from this pic and HEAT is 100mm~, kinda like that fat stug with 105
No, there is more to it.
“For Type 3 High-Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) shells, they were capable of penetrating armor of 120mm thickness at a range of 1000m and 80mm thickness at 500m. Approximately 9,000 rounds of Type 3 HEAT shells were produced at the Osaka Army Arsenal Hirakata Manufacturing Plant.”
This is most likely due to a combination of 1. too high velocity for the fuze, resulting in too low stand off at shorter distances and 2. rotational force too high for the liner shape, until there is a bit lower rpm at longer distance.
Which is still odd, since the velocity is just 337m/s.
Also the APHE will be quite weaker penetration wise to the 10,5 cm StuH 42 L/28
Since its 105mm 15,88 kg 442m/s, but the filler is missing, at lowest aparently its 600g. Which by the calculator is then 58,37mm/10m pen.
Imo they would just make it pen 120 or 100mm or make some funny bugs with battleship piercing powers at 2km or shell not penning anything at 2m
If the velocity so low, is the shell just a modified ‘hand grenade’ fitted inside a shell or smth
Now while we are about the ww2 stuff. Could as well put stuff back where it belong no? Togeder with stuff like Chi-ri, Chi-nu II, Ho-ris, R2Y2s

the US “priest” is still missing - it was used in large numbers in WW2

Thats the issue with APHE shells.
Without considering filler it would pen like 70mm or more but because the filler is supposedly making the shell break up it gets a penalty.
Even though the shell is far too slow and big to suffer and filler related penetration penalties in reality.
It’s a 105mm shell. 70mm of armor at 440m/s is not going to make it perform worse, just because it has a cavity.
Dont tell it to me, but Gaijin.
But Gaijin doesn’t belive me 😂
More just more ww2 stuff ! I love it !

I am extremely happy to see some more low tier ground being appreciated. I absolutely love World War II vehicles and I’m extremely excited to see this.
