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
The Car
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
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
The only hope which was passed.

Expect the O-I exists and is a domestic heavy tank for them. At worst, it counts as an incomplete prototype.
