Men of War: Christmas present

[C0ntrol]

Control,

Both your pictures shows the same tank, although in different resolutions...

But are they pictures of HO-I? If yes, I suppose it doesn't matter

[Zeke Wolff]

Ok, if i get it right, Japs are for MP.

I found some nice stuff for them, it appears they can pose a fine threat to other nations in MP.
Ho-Ri 105 mm AT SPG. This fella is a one tank army, with oomphing 105 mm cannon, 37mm cannon, 2x20 mm AA cannons and a 7,7mm MG. Plus it resembles Elephant.

Ho-RI II 105 mm AT SPG. Jagtigery, isn't he?


Other fun stuff include a suicide AT Mine, a improvised version of Panzefaust 100 made from bamboo, 20 mm HIgh velocity AT rifles, acid grenades, 70 mm Zooka, 90 mm Zooka (2 men), 45 mm recoiless cannon, magnetic throwable mines (Zimmerit anyone?), 37mm autocannon, 75 mm Flak mounted on some sort of a halftrack (Na-To), and something that could be compared to the wheeled Flak, but spicier - 105 mm AT/Coastal gun. It is better even than the 88 mm KwK43!



I see huge potential!

Btw, congratz for the cookie, Zeke.

But ufortunately both were only produced as prototypes (ie. one or two examples) and unlike their German counterparts they werent heavily armored, just 30mm max of armor... But they are cool!

Nah, I would prefer to have more of the medium types, Chi-He, Chi-Ha and Hi-No´s (a tank destroyer variant of the Chi-Ha armed with a 75mm quite good AT-gun carried in a open turret) and of course, officers armed with Samuraiswords (No-Dachi?) but maybe not the suicide equipment the Japaneses made heavily use of in the last stage of the WWII (you should see the numbers of suicide units they had when they decided to surrender... Horrific numbers...).

If the Brits can have Turtle, i want Ho-Ri's for Japs!

Anyways, 1 or 2 examples sure beat 0 from Turtle

That's not correct, they had quite good armor since it was based on the Chi-Ri chassis. And imagine those beasts having weaker armor than a Chi-He

[Terror]

Ah a Japanese Chi-ha. I remember playing as them in Blitzkrieg and BF1942. Any chance of a beautifully crafted Japanese landing craft. I knew there was names of Japanese weapons in the editor but here is a superb Tank.

When i see a Japanese tank i smell Naval units...

Sooo,... Did i accidentaly stumped in the direction of new vehicles being made? Please tell me you have them in production!


Do i get the cookie for that?

[Zeke Wolff]

Sorry, I misread my Polish/English bi-lingual reference book. The gun armor was 30mm thick, the main vehicle armor was 180mm thick. But they never did see combat since even if the gun excisted, the vehicle itself wasn´t fully developed when the war ended. Even the Chi-Ri you mentions wasn´t fully developed when the war ended, but yes, if it had been, then the US Shermans would have been in for some serious tank vs. tank fighting, instead of just wading thru the small, lightly armored Japanese tanks. And hey, if you really is going to make (if I understood you right) a SP campaign involving the Pacific battles, then you really should add some more details on the Shermans, like nails, wooden planks, barbed wire, etc. The US tankers came up with the most unusual ideas in their attempts to stop the Japanese infantry from placing demolition charges on the US tanks. They look awful but kinda cool anyway.

You guys seem to have some kind of love for strange, rare and big machines... :P Why not give us some more common tanks which actually did see action instead) And before you ask, yep, I do like the rare big beasts as well, but I tend to like games that is historical correct and realistic rather than having some rare cool machines to play with (just my opinion though). I even refused to play BF1942 because of seeing stg44´s and Wespe 105mm SP artillery in the desert... :P

[HrcAk47]

Ah Zeke, but we like common vehicles too!

Ask FFI Jack, he lost 2 IS2s and a SU100 to my single Pz4
Or when you lost an Elephant to my Chaffee

Hmmm... which reminds me of the time when you lost a couple of Chafee´s to my nice little PaK40...
