I arrived very late to the party about STA4 but I have some information that I feel it would be nice to share, so anyway I have this old tank magazine from Japan which goes into detail about the development of the Type 61:
but the whole point of my response is to ask if anyone knows about the information of these charts which has information about the STA4 and Type 61 engine performance:
so my question is about, does this slight difference in performance is something considerable in order to introduce it to WT as the last prototype of the Type 61? or the information is wrong and it had the same performance as the regular Type 61, I couldn’t find info about this so that’s why I post it here because I know there’s people here who can provide more feedback
Type 89 and Type 99 should use the same transmission, but the Type 89 has 9 forward and 4 backward gears, while the Type 99 has 8 forward and 2 backward gears. This is very strange.
Optical mode implementation is based on old soviet optical missile and it was shit at very least
And everyone else getting the same treatment because that missiles 50 years ago was bad
Any information on the muzzle velocity of the Type 99 SPH? i find it hard to believe that it fires the same rounds at the same velocity as the Type 75 SPH despite the barrel length being over a third longer.
The range on the sources say its capable of firing much further at least so why would the velocity be the same?
