Do you think that the O-I super heavy tank be in WT?

[日本]

Should it be in the game?

[CT center]

the ♥♥♥ O-I, how likely isit to be in WT?

this would be a realt tank to fear from the ♥♥♥♥.
-105mm gun
-two light rocket artillery canisters
-secondary 47mm gun
-3 7.7mm machine guns
-25km/h
-11 crew
-max armor thickness of around 200mm but mostly around 75mm

this is one of my favourite tanks ever and was just wondering what other people felt about it and if the tank but be made in the game.

People dont even know if it was ever built, and even then getting documents to model it after would be hard. If it was added, it would probably be a premium.

There was a prototype most likely built (some worn parts were found). However it probably wasn't the full O-I as it was diagramed.

[Master-Staten]

From what I gathered on the forums there is quite a few people who want it added, and a few who (reluctantly) agreed it wouldn't be the worst thing for it to appear as japan's main heavy, also someone on the latest devblog had asked when japan's heavies might be introduced, and were told to stay tuned to the updates, so...

[Illusionyary]

Given tracks were recovered from the super heavy tanks and that the Type 4 turret was used as a bunker in China, it's possible that at least one of these super heavies were built and lost in combat in China.

I don't think it would be a problem to be honest. I'm only against protoypes if they are not needed, and Japan needs some prototype heavies to give some armor to the Japanese tree. Personally, I think it would be ballanced by its size, horrid side armor, and slow speed. I doubt the 105mm would be as powerful as other 105s in game either, which helps ballance it. Could probably fit it fine at around 7.0.

7.0 seems extremely high for a vehicle with a short 105mm and 75mm of armor.

From any info I can find, it does use the Type 92 which us a 4,720mm (L/45) which is a fair length (British L7 105mm is 5,890mm long, L/52) with shells that weight about 16kg. Mind you those numbers are based on the Type 92 artillery gun. With that and the armor, 6.7 sound a bit low to me (more concerned about what happens when put in a 5.7 match).

I thought we were talking about the 100 ton design, which only had 75mm of armor. The 120 might be around 6.7 - 7.0, as you said.

My mind always just go to the 120 ton version. The 100 ton verson would probably be lower though. (Japanese tank classifacation always messes with me.)

I hope so, it'd be a nice "dreams come true" vehicle. Although with the removal of the R2Y2s for being "ahistorical", we might not ever see it now.

At least one incomplete prototype existed before the project was terminated so it´s introduction wouldn´t be to off the table.

i would love it to be in the game!

[Riggex]

No thanks. Paper vehicles are a slippery slope into becoming a fictional slop game like the 'World Of -' trio.
