After unlocking the Ha-Go I thought it was going to be a bad experience, but this tank seems to be the best modelled tank in the game, it has the ability to climb over everything just like other tanks should, the bow gunner (after some getting-used-to) is quite useful against infantry being much faster to move than turret, switching to driver’s seat makes it also easier to drive so this tank requires the use of all crew members, not just gunner.
I think other tanks should also be able to use their bow MG’s, it’s useful when coaxial MG is overheated, turret is damaged or when enemies are right in front of the tank. A tank is a moving fortress with multiple crew members, not a moving steel sniper and by adding bow MG to all tanks, players could feel like being in an actual tank, it will also make other crew members more useful
Here is an example of a tank with unusable bow MG, many other tanks also don’t have this feature, but I am not putting all of them
From what I heard, they stole the models from WT, where the only tanks with working bow guns and turrets are the Japanese ones, as they don’t have coax guns.
it’s not really hard to balance it, bow gunner is definitely less OP than stg-44
well for most tanks yeah, flamethrower ones are I believe enlisted exclusive (don’t know if they have them in warthunder, I only played that game a bit and got bored)
The problem is, they are not modelled in wt because you don’t need machine guns in that game when all your opponents are tanks, but in enlisted most tanks with low calibre cannons use MGs as their main weapon against infantry and bow MGs should be usable
