The Ferdinand was just a re-purpose of the 91 hulls/chassis Porsche had built for his version of the Tiger 1.
They needed a platform for the 8.8 cm Pak 43/2 L71 and installed it on the Tiger 1 that had a hybrid drive.
No, I mean Ferdinand Porsche the man, Ferdinand was his first name… Probably didn’t help that my dyslexic arse horribly misspelt his surname either.
I was referring to this book:

Ho-Ri is in progress, and what was it replaced with? Absolutely nothing.
M48 is an M48; it’s good, but it cannot perform that aggressor role. The Ho-Ri operates due to its armor being too thick to do much protecting.
The Type 99 is a howitzer: good gun, crappy drop, no armor. It’s nothing but a mediocre artillery piece since, oh wait, it was intended for engaging at long distances far away at an elevation.
M163(Thai): This is an anti-air gun.
Should I mention that 6.7 lineups are also incomplete and would perform so poorly at 7.3 and 7.7 that, if need be, they would be forced to fight an 8.0, which has occurred.
You want proper replacements: the Ka-To, the Ho-Ri I, and the Ho-Ri II. Leave the proto as a premium or toss it into the same category as the Maus, a very rare vehicle only seen once every few anniversaries. Considering that the Ho-Ri Proto is the closest depiction of what the Ho-Ri’s final form would have been had the war continued into 1947 somehow.

US copy paste you wanted to say ? Thank you very much GJ enterteiment. Always dreamed about US planes in Jap tech tree.
People are only playing Japan in fear of missing out. None of them actually care about the Tech Tree.

Le accurate Ho-Ri:

It’s historically accurate because it was in the early stages of being built.
The Ho-Ri Production in-game was never built.
The Prototype was in the early phases of what a probable 3rd evolution of the design would be.
Your argument can go for so many different vehicles in-game that are modelled improperly. Or simply were nothing but a husk. That did not get completed.
The issue is: If none were added, this game also would not continue existing.

i dont think they should be added either.
No ostwind 2. no zestorer 45. no F-16AJ. No panther 2. No Tiger 105. No Tiger SLA. No E100 and certainly no Ho-Ri or Yak 141
Ok then, no Maus, no T34, no T-126, no TIII. No captured vehicles, no vehicles with anti-tank guns on them due to most of those being field modifications.
Oh look, your game’s dead. Congradulation. Now the company is shutting down; oops, you’re fired.
maus was completed
T34 was completed
also completed
all completed vehicles
if they were then fielded by the capturer, then they are perfectly acceptable
either you are speaking in bad faith or you dont understand that paper tanks dont fit what WT goes for.

I was playing 5.0 UK last night, and every single game the enemy was filled with probably 50% Chi-Tos. it was insane lol. Ive never seen anything like it, Im a Japan main and normally theres only a couple of japanese players on my team at most when playing it.

Maus was never completed.
The Turret one 1 prototype was slapped onto the chassis of another prototype.
T34 was completed but never accepted into service because it was a prototype. It was not a production vehicle. Nor did it ever see war.
T-126 was completed but again a prototype that did not see service and helped create the T-34.
All field modifications were unofficial vehicles that were engineered on the front lines and were unregulated. Many countries, generals, etc frowned at this idea since it made them seem more desperate. Rather than a structured and functional military at the time.
All captured vehicles were not serviced in combat; they were used as case studies and museum pieces. They only saw combat when it was absolutely needed, which was only during the desperate times of a war.
So once again, by your logic: None of this would be used.
the example at kubinka is a kitbash of the two maus wrecks after they were scuttled before capture.
two functional maus tanks were built
still completed. Completed vehicles are real tangible tanks.
prototypes are fine as long as they were armed. (thats why yak 141 isnt welcome)
so?
dont have the museum captures then.
and captured vehicles then used werent always out of desperation, instances such as panther cuckoo were just to see how it fares in battle
learn to read
just a slight correction, only the 2nd maus, the one in the photo was armed by the Germans, the 1st prototype only had a steel block as a turret, until the Russians put the 2nd maus turret on it.
The hull itself was functional and could drive around for testing, if I recall one was petrol and the other diesel
Did you mean the Yak-141?
