The turret was functional. The turret ring is a different story. And from what I remember the turret fitted in the end was accurate for the program (although might of had differences later)
It wasn’t functional.
How would it work, if it wasn’t integrated?
You can’t use a turret that isn’t actually connected to your tank in any way besides sitting in the stop where the turret would go.
I own all five of these, and want other people to experience them.
The Coelian is completely realistic as a design and needs no modification to be added.
The KT105 needs an enlarged turret ring and enlarged turret to fit the gun properly.
The Panther II needs to have its model updated to actually use the Long 88 Schmalturm blueprints on extended trunnions, then the gun fits the turret without artificially shrinking the breech.
The Ho-Ri Prototype is realistically believable.
The Ho-Ri Production is only unbelievable regarding its engine - if it had the same engine as the Prototype but more armor you have basically a Ferdinand that can overpressure at half the RoF.
Then all of them are realistic enough, so then they get reintroduced to the game.

Think the YA-10B will ever appear in warthunder? There was one prototype but aside from there being one prototype converted from an A-10A (I don’t know if early or late batch), I can’t find much else.
Ironically, I first saw it in Ace Combat 5.
The turret was. The turret ring wasn’t.
It’s pretty simple
Everything worked enough for trials
just because a track link or other individual part exists doesnt mean its valid to come to the game

What isn’t docimented on how it would look. So fake can’t be readded and nothing was made to make the vehicle.
Larp
Everything worked for it to carry weight. That’s all the turret ever did, be a dummy to see how the hull and the wheels would fare with the weight of a turret installed.
The Radpanzer 90 is a what-if vehicle, just like the Yak 141 and the majority of the vehicles I listed.
No. As far as we know the turret was completely functional as it was a modified 1a4 or leopard 2 Protoype. I forgor. But it was functional none the less
Not choosing a turret =/= the turret is not functional.
It’s a Leopard 1A3 turret, which is functional.
EMBT was added as well… using a functional Leclerc turret.
Then you extrapolate somehow and at least take the R2Y2 route and make it physically possible if nothing else.
What isn’t historically accurate.
Embt was fully functional. The turret ring worked. The gun fired.
But the vehicle is already here, so I would rather have it be at least physically plausible given Snail will never remove it entirely from those who already have it.
The turret drive still being in development doesn’t mean the tank is fake.
It was just cancelled prior to that development finishing, which still makes the vehicle real.
Entirely different to Coelian that didn’t even have a turret produced.
The Leclerc turret on the EMBT was/is integrated to the point of actually working.
The turret on the Radpanzer 90 was just sitting inside the hull, acting as ballast for driving tests.
My whole point is that the majority of a vehicle having been built is enough for WT anyways and that puts the Radpanzer 90 in the same group as the planes that never had guns, but were planned to have guns or other vehicles that just weren’t finished.
As a Japan Main, it is very unlikely we will see War Thunder’s interpretation of the Ho-Ri Production. Nor its version of the Ho-Ri Prototype.
However 3 suggestions already exist for getting the historically accurate versions instead. Albeit their BR’s would be lower. Due to the armor not being as effective.
But this is not all of them. Since there is 3. Meaning it would be 6.0, 6.3, and 7.0

Not unless that was recenty - I visited Kublinka in 2018 and it was still there.
