japan 9.7 isnt as horrible as japan 9.0, but why the hell is the type 16 9.7 when the m1128 has a better reload, better survivability, better round, and better depression with the hydraulic suspension. this honestly applies to all of the 105mm armored cars at the 9.7 br but if reloads are meant as balance, they shouldnt have the same 8.7 reload time as earlier 105mm guns and better rounds. It is abd enough wheeled vehicles have bad traction in this game. At the very least, the 9.7 type 16 should have armor package upgrades like the following
M1128 does outclass it, which is why M1128 is 10.3 and Type 16 is 9.7.

not in arcade
Well you didn’t specify arcade. In arcade they’re about equal because ammo penetration differences matter less when you have a crosshair to tell you when you can pen.
the reload time, and better gun handling and the fact you can pen more surfaces doesnt require balance?
Type 16 has a better reload and extremely similar gun handling.
Type 16 with an expert crew:
M1128 has penetration and a protected turret for the RB game mode.
Arcade gives more benefit to HE rounds than RB does as well which makes the unmanned turret less useful.
Arcade has different things that make vehicles strong compared to realistic.
Howitzers in arcade are stupidly strong compared to realistic for example, and I’m surprised they’re not higher BRs than realistic battles.
