I mean we have testing reports for it, It did exist, we even have a track link of it that survives.

A track link that was used on the built 100 Ton prototype

I just wish i knew how to post this to poll it or something i have no idea if devs actually read this so i fear this will just be a lost discussion in time just as the O-I was lost and forgotten
The Devs have already looked into the OI i think.
The biggest problem is that we don’t know what gun it had.
The 150 was never made, and the 105 that was suggested ended up on the Ho Ri prototype.
So its possible the gun was used on the Oi first, before it was scrapped during the war.
I have good news for you a suggestion for it was passed to the devs: Japan's phantom multi-turret heavy tank Oi vehicle
Now we just need to hope it added to the tech-tree where it is needed over outside in an event or something.

HONESTLY, i would not be surprised if the OI shows up as the Dreams come True vehicle this year.

Because in recent years there have been ALOT of Blueprints about it found.
Far more than a vehicle that was never built.
Full suspension design drawings, Engine lay out. ALL OF IT.
I really appreciate you guys providing supporting documentation i just think as a nation japans been done dirty as far as ground is concerned most of their tech tree should be filled with the prototype and experimental tanks since they would be easy to balance since most would be up to the devs discretion the island nation if provided the same resources the other nations had access to wouldve pumped out some really cool tanks for us to enjoy in game hopefully they see this and we can start seeing new ww2 heavy and medium lines for japan
You have no idea how many documents about the Oi survive, the entire set of Blueprints survived basically.
As a Japanese person, I absolutely refuse to accept the implementation of the O-I heavy tank.
From what it seems, it was passed nearly two and a half years ago, and nothing has came of it.
Why exactly?
That’s because it couldn’t even move properly.
It closely resembles the E-100, where only the chassis was actually built. To make it functional and drivable, more than half of the tank would end up being entirely fictional.
its a Super Heavy, they are supposed to be slow and impossible to manuver.
You really think the Maus or E100 would have been HALF as mobile as they are in game?
The E100 was powered by like 700HP at MAX.
The OI atleast had the benefit of two 500hp engines, the same type as would eventually be fitted to the Chi-To’s.
I’m pretty sure only a single track link was made, I doubt that’s enough to justify its addition
If you want to create a suggestion you can do so in the suggestion section here on the forum. That section is however pre-moderated and only posts that follow their rules and guidelines will get posted and it can take a couple of weeks for a post to get reviewed for publication. If it gets accepted and made public it then has a chance to get sent to the developers as a suggestion later on.
The Oi is very much talked about.

A: No, partially finished wooden mockup
B: already done
C: suggestion has been passt to the developers already
E-100 wasn’t powered at all because it wasn’t even a finished design
