the made in japan thing hasn’t applied since the 50′s, it takes a while to build up after being wrecked and long lists of conditions imposed on you. “how often do they break down? :)” what rock have you been living under that you’ve never heard of Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Sony, etc, etc?

Dem Japs.

Look at all those immaculate tanks and how well maintained they look.

Now this is how other tank museums should keep the tanks preserved…

Of course, the Type 10 more expensive than other western because this tank was produced on 2010. Type 10 might better than M1 Abrams. Both forward and reverse is 70 k/hr, because of the type of suspension that Type 10 used, Hydropneumatic Active suspension.

Firing the main armament while reversing. See here:

Japanese things are quite high-quality. the JSDF are very well trained and professional.

Been to Aberdeen, before it moved to Kansas or something? Absolutely criminal what they’re doing to those vehicles. They have some really rare stuff, old prewar Japanese tanks, a Jagdtiger, the only Panzer IV Hydro, and the rust has long finished with their paint and is eating right into the armor now. They had an Elefant, which they cosmetically restored, but the inside is still home to the infamous Tank Rust Spider

what “problem”?, i dont se any problem with a superior tank wreaking havoc…, tanks need to be modeled 100% realistically, if a tank is superior in all aspect, well… tough luck, that’s life.

tanks don’t need to be BALANCED, they need to be reproduced 100% faithfully in digital form.
the only “balance” allowed is an “MM equivalence” so that it faces similar oponents

So the Type 75 155 mm SPG is based on the Type 74 chassis (which the STB-1 was the first prototype for)…anyone else seeing this as a potential tier 10 vehicle? Personally, I could see a couple of roles for it, either as a tier 10 SPG, or, if AP shells exist for the gun, as a tank destroyer.

In the SPG role, since its gun is smaller than the guns of the other tier 10 SPGs, I would imagine it to have a better ROF than most. Mobility would be decent as well, as it’s built on an MBT chassis.

In the TD role, what I imagine is something like a Dicker Max on Steroids (hell, it even LOOKS like a Dicker Max or Sturer Emil but with a bigger gun), making it poorly armored but with a decent gun and ROF.

Technically it’s already in the game. The first prototype was the STB-1, the tier 10 medium tank (and for the moment the only tier 10 tank of any type) on the Japanese tree.
