State of Type 93

Ahhh okay I see my mistake. Thanks for clearing that up!

I just hope they can at least fix the gimped missile performance or at least equalize it between the manpads because it’s just getting a bit silly at this point.

The Type 91, even though it is supposed to be just as advanced as a seeker as the FIM-92’s in game, feels to usually have a 1-2km shorter lock range compared to it, doesn’t seem to handle as well in flight, etc. About the only benefit to the Type 91 missile is that it has more explosive mass than the 92’s, however, I still have something like the Alouette eat 3 missiles to it’s unarmored pilots because of how the game does the damage yet.

Even in Shooting Range Type 93 struggles to hit FLYING IN STRAIGHT LINE planes.

First I couldn’t lock on to the german starter helicopter from 2km out!. IT’S NOT EVEN AN ADVANCE HELICOPTER. then when I finally lock I shoot 3 missiles at him and guess what?
OIL TANK DAMAGE 3 TIMES!. This game makes laugh how badly manpad missiles are modeled. the Type 91 in particular is considered a 4th-generation MANPAD system yet in game it struggles to lock on to a helicopter from the 1950s!!!. and then I deal no damage

Seriously what are they doing this thing should be able to lock him regardless from full lock range and kill it in one shot. How in the world is a missile system designed to shoot down helicopters not able to do its one job?

And still no word or progress from gaijin as to why they are modeled this bad and perform as is.

In the comments of the devblog for the TO-55 they have said Japan isn’t getting a new SPAA this update.

That’s not necessarily them saying there won’t be one this update or upgrades for Type 93.

Just that it’s taking them a while longer than usual.

Yeah, yeah, not many to choose. (whole unrelated to nation sub-tree in this patch)

Wow what a surprise, so unexpected
If you guys want to know if anything good is going to be added to japan I advise you to remember this perfect quote that opened my eyes about state of tech tree when I first seen it
Top comment Will japan get a better anti-air

As expected, the most fresh nation in the game gets top tier spaa before Japan. And all we get is a 3.3 tiny boat nobody cares about, bonus points for how generic it is.
So Lucky we didnt get a 1920’s car armed with a few pistols instead.

didnt they atleast say the thing for japanese ground “wasnt ready yet”

“Wasnt ready yet” 99% means it doesnt need tests because it is another poor copy-paste without anything worthy

They’ve been saying this for so long because they don’t care and want to throw it behind them. It’s been on the back burner for years that its pure ash at this point. At best, heres a copy paste vehicle with top ammo removed and lets call it “prototype” or or 1.3 vehicle that should’ve been added with all the other low tiers in one single update.

This is just a sick joke.

If any of you properly looked at the trailer, they at least have a somewhat working Type 81C model in the game to at least have done the cinematic for the trailer, meaning even if it isn’t this patch, it will be soon
