Description
Type89 Armored Fighting Vehicle is a vehicle developed to accompany and act with Type 90tanks.
The main gun is an Oerlikon 35mm KDE and missiles are Type79 anti-boat and anti-tank guided missiles on both sides of the turret
It has a top speed of 70 km/h, powered by a 600 hp 6SY engine
I expressed some concerns for this vehicle it’s time this IFV is brought to the devs attention and gives us an explanation for all the nerfs it has received if some are historical fine but i highly doubt they all are. i don’t care if i have to go beyond but its time we get answers and stop being left in the dark i’m willing to do whatever it takes. if people have sources, videos, pics anything to help i highly appreciated.
I would like to see a lock-on feature like khrizantema added to the Type89.
Type89 thermal imaging camera uses the same technology found in the Type 90 one and should have a hot point tracking function.
If they were using the same sight, I would agree, but the Type 89 uses a different sight. It’s one thing to say that the Type 89’s thermal is based on the Type 90, but it’s another to say that the Type 89 has a tracker. Since they don’t use the exact same sights, we have to assume that the Type 89 doesn’t have a tracker.
Also, there is no mention of it in “制式要綱 89式装甲戦闘車(B) D8009B”.
To be honest, I’m not asking a lot about the tracking or any of those sorts; It’s obvious that the Type 89 has a clip system chamber, with a better ATGM system. Granted the ATGM got MUCH better since the last update, but the reload remains the same. Lastly, I think the turning rate and the elevation rate is also way too slow compared to the real thing.
