Ha-Go is currently very underperforming. It lacks many thing that it should have.
I’m not complaining that it can be penetrate by M2 Browning, but it surely lacks some stuff that
it should’ve got .
First of all, why it doesn’t have HE? Historically, I used type 94 HE shell.
645g of shell had 63g of tnt filler, with explosion radius of 8 metre.
I don’t know the reason behind why DF didn’t gave Ha-Go a HE shell, while american light tank got HE. http://www.horae.dti.ne.jp/~fuwe1a/newpage51.html
Also, why it can’t shoot hull-mounted MG at gunner sight. A good example is the T-28,
who has two seperate MG turrets that can be shoot at gunner sight.
Why Ha-Go can’t? With the fact that it doesn’t have HE, it literally has zero anti-infantry capability.
In conclusion, its anti-infantry capability right now is next to zero, due to the fact that it doesn’t have
Historically accurate HE shell that it should’ve got at first time and its MG can’t be fired at gunner sight.
Bro, that’s your first mistake: you’re asking historical accuracy to Dark Flow/ Gaijin. You should ask HE shells just because you need it, but they don’t give a damn about historical stuff (in order to avoid people whining and crying because the game is too difficult and realistic).
Because the HE isn’t modeled in WT, and the devs can’t be bothered to add it. Furthermore, you can’t control those small turrets individually on the T-28. They implemented the Ha Go’s mg like the Grant, where if you are in gunner view for one gun, you cannot shoot the other gun. If there was a commander, then you could fire both at the same time.
It’s not a bug, it’s a byproduct of what the Japanese did with their MGs, that being putting sights on them. The devs wanted to represent that, but ran into the limitations of the game, and thus created this work around. They could change it in the future, but who knows.
Oh yeah, we already know Chi Ha Kai and Chi Nu is coming, and those one should have a commander so you can shoot both the main gun and the MG at the same time.
There is no German 37mm He shell in War Thunder but dev still add it in Enlisted.
The commander is just a name. In the tank that only have gunner, the gunner is the commander since they can use commander functionality like open the hatch. So I see no problem of giving Ha go gunner the ability of Grant commander.
its in hull so it wont work anyways. we need that in turret working like in Ha-GO
And this buff did shit you still need direct hit to do any damge when useing HE
do you even plaied it? You need to snipe it bc HE shot in graund doesnt do any damge to anything near. it doesnt just do not much, it doesnt do anything
It shouldn’t be penned by .50 BMG either.
Same mistake as war thunder- the Ha Go irl used FHA, not RHA. FHA at its thickness would cause .50 BMG to shatter in the surface, but increased the chances that the armor would shatter entirely against larger shells.
.50 should not pen the ha go, but large shells should hull break it.
