Well, if Gaijin insists of SPGs to be used on the front line to be used as tank destroyers, that’s just what’s going to happen.
Of course they could make some changes to the gameplay for more realistic match ups.
But it doesn’t change the fact that players want to fight real tanks and not real tanks vs. something made up by someone’s fantasy.
Same with planes. War Thuner is a game about real vehicles.
Same as with the R2Y2s, they’ll be removed shortly after thai ground subtree. Maybe the F-16AJ will be replaced by XF-2A sometime in the future as well.
If you think war thunder is realistic you’re already lost lol so much in the game is guesswork. Adding realistic paper vehicles to fill in tech tree gaps wouldn’t make any difference.
Great because I don’t
F-16AJ will be replaced when a new gen 4 12.7 is added.
And Ho Ri will be replaced when a new 7.3 that fills its role is added.
“What about Type 99?” It doesn’t fire AP, and it’s one of a 3 tank lineup.
Type 99 has LRF/LWS + Thermals, if at least gaijin gave it the LRF it could be a viable replacement entirely for the Ho-Ri (My opinion)
Where you found all it on Type 99
Do you have proof it has these? From official sources and such?
Because I see nothing that resembles anything you’re talking about on the vehicle.
I get you want to have an alternative to the Ho-Ris, but muddying the waters with poor research really hurts to see.
I’d be glad to be proven wrong though.

このFCCSを使えば、射撃指揮所のボタン操作だけで99式自走榴弾砲の主砲の自動照準、自動装填、自動発射を行うことが可能になるといわれている。
従来は有線電話を介して音声で伝えられたりしていた射撃諸元が、データリンクを介して瞬時に伝わるようになるのである。
The FCCS is said to enable automatic aiming, loading and firing of the main gun of Type 99 self-propelled howitzers at the touch of a button at the fire control centre.
Firing parameters that were previously communicated by voice over a wired telephone can now be transmitted instantaneously via a data link.
Obviously datalink related for SPH’s is too far ahead for WT, so essencially a LRF can work as a workaround for this
“It is said” just isn’t a good enough statement to make. Also, not once were a laser-rangefinder, a laser-warning system, and thermals ever mentioned. We need more proof.
I think we may have to come around the idea that Japan just won’t get a 1:1 replacement for the Ho-Ris that fit the same exact role and function. We could certainly find vehicles that would fit at the current BRs, such as the four-barreled Type 60 SPRG prototype, or at a slightly lower BR, the various light wheeled vehicles fielded by both Japan and Thailand that used recoilless rifles, possibly a pre-production Type 99, or maybe even the Ho-Ri II (but finding information on certain aspects is difficult/non-existent).
Well you do have weapons that quite literally never existed or vehicles with very questionable existances (ostwind ii and zerstorer 45, and Kh-38mt)
So there should be some ahistorical stuff. Unless we go 1:1 of real life which’ll lead very much into the classified stuff which as uk isnt good
Id trade both of these for the coelian
coelian removed for being fictional
proceeds to have 2 actually fictional tanks to replace it + a premium of it
absolute cinema
