I really want this, but one question I have is about the open roof. Was there any provision for a hatch door? As far as I know, there are no images or drawings from the top view of the vehicle
like here for example
I’ve written about it.
There’s a removable plate? That’s what I mean. I know it’s open in the back, but I was asking if there was some kind of door, which I can’t see from the models here
No, it is entirely open like ho-ro and ho-ni.

Italian Semovente 47/32 which is another SPG that is incredible similar to the Ho-Ru in term of gun caliber of 47mm, frontal armor of 30mm, and very low profile…

Cool 3D render, some bits like the guide pins and top of the casemate are wrong

The Ho-Ru would be much better. Significantly better power/weight ratio, superior suspension design and much better gun.

Funny enough the Ho-Ru was initially planned to be added into WoT’s Japanese TD branch which was leaked in 2015.

Surprisingly they got the frontal armor thickness correct but the lower plate should be reinforced to 30mm of armor aswell.

Ofc WG model was not faithful to the historical design especially the tracks remain unchanged and the back of the vehicle should not be enclosed.

Japan currently lacks “classical” case-mate TDs, something like this would be very much welcome.
Suggestion passed to the developers for consideration.
