Type 94 Truck (Type 41) - Literally Out Of Ideas

This is real?!?!

Yes. It’s meant only to transport the Anti-Tank guns, but considering that this vehicle could mount the legs onto it. You could likely use it as an anti-tank platform if necessary.

Yep. I have a draft suggestion for it in my personal Drive, however, I wanted to find the source of a specific page of a book that has a line-drawing of the So-To before posting. I couldn’t find it and eventually just shelved it until I had more time to look.

This drawing is included on page 149 of Japanese Tanks (日本の戦車, 1978).

Budget archer but for Japan is certainly a vehicle I never thought would exist. +1

Honestly I have no idea, the closest resemblance that I can think of is still the Nissan 180, but even then there are differences…

The ideas are just starting

But otherwise this will work in low tier game play. Other nations have similar we put a cannon on truck and called it a day. I think this issue always is gun trucks can get annoying due to there ambush style so people don’t like fighting them and rage quit after there first death. This is why I don’t think we see many of them.

Gun truck wars.

Worse than 1.0 and borderline useless. -1 from me, this would be punishing to new players.

It’s the goofiest gun carrier I have seen this far

That is why it should be in rank zero like french fcm.36

Not really. There are a lot of Tractors that are just a flat bed and a gun.

Well still better than this

The British and Commonwealth were famous for them, they even have a designation for them - Portee’s. This isn’t even all of them.

Ha ha ha. FCM 36 was set to be removed, the only reason it wasn’t is player backlash. No tanks should be added at low tier that can’t be easily played by new players.

Well that’s more or less a somewhat different Panzerjager 1- even though it has a poor chassis the gun is powerful. The problem with this Type 94/41 is that it neither has a good gun nor chassis.

It annoys me they didn’t just make it the SA38 version. The extra penetration would have really helped.
