Is it really needed that desperately? They have 3 cars with autocannons (4th coming this patch) and 2 with proper cannons. But I would always gladly welcome something to flesh out a lineup or two

its been known from some time and everyone knows why gaijin cant add ukrainian vehicles i dont think we need to comment on it anymore

better for me, less soviet spam vehicles to deal with anyway

Yeah, it’s the elephant in the room. A shame though, unique iterations of the T-80 that will probably never see the light of day in WT

Japan struggles with a lack of decent ATGMs, with not many native additions available, and the ones that can be added simply being not that great.

I mostly want Thai ground for the very very silly modernised FV101 they operate, Thermals and a LRF, but only 76mm hesh with 80-100mm of “pen”

The type 01 LMAT is definitely an option, it is pretty similar to the javelin but attacks frontally instead of top down.

oh yeah they defo dont have ATGM carriers, i can think of one domestic option

There’s not actually much that mounts it,
You have a smol car and an APC iirc

Doctrinally it’s normally used by dismounted teams

I think we will be getting the planned maintenance post later on today given the lack of official news/devblogs today.

inb4 update delayed another week and we genuinely get next updates blogs and this updates release on the same week

Also the HMV

Spoiler

But “mounted” is really nothing more than a guy holding it for either of these platforms.

Ah my bad I though there was a lil stick or something, I would take the Lav over the HMV only because the lav has smokes

Actually it has both direct and top attack modes

Lack of heavy tanks is just part of Japan’s history though, should’ve been considered before they picked Japan to play

No news post before 16:00 CET. That means they are done. Which confirms my prediction that they will announce technical works tonight.

we can only hope

It’s usually around 9PM or 10 GMT they do it here, I still think it’s thursday
