Japan could use something like this, Would be a great help to the severe lack of artillery. I’d like to see the Chinese PCL-181 one day too.

Did they integrate a LRF?

Probably not.

+1

Gonna be honest, I had no idea the Type 19 was capable of direct fire. That was the only thing holding me back from wanting it in-game. Now it’s just like any other gun truck. +1

+1 Maybe as SQV

Gotta say. If this is a valid addition so is the Swedish Archer.

basically the japanese take on the french CAESAR but with direct fire capabilities.
