Which is fictional and is already in the game.
If it makes your ego feel any better, then you’re smarter than me 👍
Google says otherwise.
The transfer was never completed but the tank both existed and served in Belgium.
Yeah, and? The tank in-game has S-mine launchers, which Japan never purchased, has track armor, which Japan never used, has a default Japanese camouflage, which Japan never painted the purchased tank in, and has machine guns, which the tank lacked.
It’s a fictional and hypothetical design of what the tank might have looked like if it had actually arrived in Japan, but even then Gaijin has added elements, such as the S-mine launchers, which were never intended to be used on the Japanese Tiger.

The camouflage isn’t really special, most camouflages in game are just a set of standard ones for a nation anyways, which on many vehicles aren’t historical.
But I will never understand why they didn’t just match the model with the real tank…

The camouflage is special. It’s a unique “9th tank regiment” pattern which no other Japanese vehicle has access to, similar to how the premium Ro-Go and the Chi-He both have “unique” patterns.

Yeah, but that doesn’t always mean it’s historical. For example Nagato comes in whatever this is as a “special camo” rather than a historical scheme.
When I said it isn’t special, I just meant that non-historical camos are very normal in game and not really a standard to judge them by. Most camos are either taken from other vehicles, completely made up or at least represented badly.

Yeah. I figured that out when I tried to change the localization of some tank camouflages and found a lot are just outright fictional. All of Imperial Japan’s disruptive camouflages are fictional, as an example, with only the Ro-Go (pre-1942 standardization) and the premium Chi-He (post-1942 standardization) actually having accurate disruptive camouflages.
Edit: Also the Ho-Ri still uses postwar camouflage for some reason.

It’s a small indie company who makes little money and needs to reuse models to stay afloat /s
