Also other nations tanks such as abrams, leopards, and t80bvms, have very high vertical targeting speeds. Back when I tried getting information, I asked smin and he only responded with Gun stabilizer - War Thunder Wiki. I assume according to said article, that the high vertical targeting speeds is to mimic stabilization

Currently a stabilizer on specific tanks is simulated with a generic high vertical guidance (elevation) speed on the gun… but still this does not provide a real simulation of stabilizer and fire control systems. After the introduction of the accurate stabilizer simulation, the vertical guidance speed on specifically equipped vehicles will be reduced to real life values.

However tanks such as the challenger and type 10 have the so called real life value.

Unfortunately, using that discrepancy for a bug report doesn’t work.

It did lead to funny posts on reddit complaining when the 10 degree/sec vertical traverse for leopards was acknowledged

found this on the internet, is this a predecessor to the type 90s gun?

This is a diagram of the dimensions of the main gun mounted on a Type 90 tank.

Anyone going to make this a suggestion? Be a nice 3.7 Br Premium with a cost of 1,150 GE or regular TT to start a 3.7 line up and useful to support the 4.3+ Br.

This looks incredible lol +1

Yes, it shouldn’t take long to model since the M24 and Type 64 ATM already exist in game. Just gotta slap them together, re-adjust/add some things aaaand walaa.

Looks pretty hilarious, though I doubt it’ll be at such a low BR due to having ATGMs. The piece of shit Type 60 ATM is 6.7 on a far worse platform.

I like this huge buff. Now I can get to my SPAA position faster to protect my tankers from CAS.

Recent mini update in the changelog.

nope! enough for this shitty missile!

Honestly the Type 64 could be pretty good when combined with the Chaffee. The problem with the Type 60 is that the missile is really situational, but you are forced to use it in every scenario since it’s your only weapon. With the M24 you can fall back on the 75mm meaning you can actually use the Type 64s when the time is right.

Just noticed something. Japan’s JM12A1 is a HEAT-MP round, not a HEATFS…shouldn’t they have similar performance like the US M830A1 HEAT-MP to be able to shoot down helis/aircrafts with the fuze sensor???

all i know is that JM12A1 is just DM12A1 with a different name, so it does not have a fuse, Edit: yeah i checked and only DM11 can do such thing DM12 A1 its completely unable to do that

hmm well I always thought the HEAT-MP meant it’s a multi purpose round and can be used to shoot down helis and online I read that the Japanese HEAT rounds had the MP on it so I thought it could do the same.

checking on DM-12A1 is not even classified as HEAT-MP in rheinmetall’s page but as HEAT-FS, this is most likely a classification issue with gaijin

juicy good news i found something for this, its something specific for japan apparently, JM12A1 its a DM12A1 MZ with frag sleeve with japanese fuse

TM 43-0001-28 (p. 152):

“The M830 HEAT-MP-T, 120-mm cartridge
is a direct translation of the German DM12A1
round with the exception that a United States
design fuze system and explosive (Composition
A3, Type 11) is used.”
