Like I said - no actual evidence - just supposition.

As well as you so dont bring devs to defend your opinion. I asure you that they didnt make hatch unuseable couse estetics or anything else you saying.
No, you just brought relevant to hatch fact. Its on you.
By your logic, it would have to be special waterproof gun breach. Did you have any information about it? No.
Snorkels were design way that is hard for water to enter, yes. But guess what? The copoal with the hatch was designed in this way and for the same f reason also. It is higher than it should be, and it uses a magical law of physics called gravity. Maybe you’ve heard about it somewhere. Due to the fact that the hatch is very high compared to the water line, the water has a hard time to get in there. This is literally one of the reasons for the existence of this chimney in the amphibious landing version.
you just talk about non-openable hatches like crazy person thats all, its makeing people confused wtf you mean.
You just made it the f*ck up and you has no f infromation at all that hatch was never opened or it had to be opened in some special ways invented by you. Thats all.
Except my position is evidently closer to the ones the devs currently hold, as demonstrated by your complaining.
No, I explicitly quoted you talking about how the commander cannot see out of the Cupola when I said that bit. You cannot simply apply it to everything else I said.
No they would not because of two reasons. 1, having ammo loaded in the gun effectively sealed the gun already and 2, the amount of water that the gun could let in was so small it would be irrelevant. Do actually try to read all what I have written instead of arguing with the first point of every paragraph.
Yes the “Chimney” as you call it would reduce the water that could enter by simply being higher but on the deeper waters that this configuration was ment to operate, where waves even taller than the tank would be common. In that case, the chimney design would almost certainly be less helpful for keeping the water out, as it would simply funnel the water into the tank if it was not waterproof. Thus, the waterproof hatches.
I looked at the tank design, looked at how it was supposed to be used, and drew a few connections as a result. You on the other hand have zero information on the tank as evidence by your reliance on misinterpreting everything I say and coming back with cartoonishly exaggerated points. If you want to prove the hatch was used, go ahead and provide anything other than “Hatch is there → hatch should be used” because that argument completely ignores everything about the design of the tank.
Do you think that anybody would belive in your made up theory about unuseable hatches? Ok, good for you. I wont write back to you anymore, its pointless because apparently you don’t need any source or logic to insist on your own. Now crawl back to your box, seal your own designed magic hatch and stay there xd.
Sounds quite self-explanatory
Well we’re talking japan here, I wouldnt be surprised if they decided to fill the tank with crew & explosives and then simply seal it shut by welding.
But for some odd reason they went thru those designs that apparently reminds quite alot a hatch.

No, expect them to believe they would have kept it shut in this configuration due to the argument I presented. If you want sources, you can read the two books the wiki cites, that being Zaloga’s or Andrzej’s. Both of them state this configuration was for deeper waters, and if you understand how boats work especially, you will understand that in this configuration, the hatch would not ever be opened in this configuration. Yes your simple logic would work in any other case, but an amphibious tank creates complications, and ones that might not be be solvable with your just that level of analysis. The LVTs where launched close to shore explicitly for this reason. Furthermore, the Ka Mi which lacks such gear in the configuration it is in this game can use it’s hatch, so it seems the devs understand this as well.
Which is that if this tank was launched at deep sea from submarine lets say 1-3km from shoreline the hatches would be sealed.
Again the deepwaters, I havent actually played the pacific due to lack of intrest and no time but does this tank spawn 1-3km from shoreline ?
If so, fine keep the hatches sealed.
If not, which is pretty much what im guessing theres no reason for them to be sealed since the deepwater theory of yours doesnt exactly account here.
