I think the self firing/remote controlled gun mounted on top of the Chi Ha Kai is a bit ridiculous, so here is my suggestion:
Since it is mounted over the loader’s hatch, make the loader playable and any time the player switches to it he automatically pops out the hatch and operates it
Well I believe one of the American Shermans in game the commander has to pop out the hatch in order for the top mounted mg to fire so I didn’t see why it couldn’t implemented here because it looks a bit too unrealistic.
Also I am actually aware of the Hetzer’s mg but the Japanese had no such tech on their tanks and the one in this instance is essentially just mounted atop a pole without any mechanism to fire it
Lol, all of the tank except the panzerwerfer 42 need commander to pop out in order to use top mounted mg. You didn’t use this kind of tank much? Also speaking of ridiculous self firing gun, several late model sherman in game have it because their top mg is mounted at the back side of the turret.
It fires only hull MG iirc. Commander actually has to be out ouf hatch to able to use MG. It just looks very weird, since only his head is visible and MG is next to him.
But I didn’t use any Japanese for ±2 months. But this is how I remember it.
This is the Chi Ha Kai event tank and its always been like that iirc. You can only control the hull mg if you switch to that slot, if you’re commander, you can control both the main gun and top mg while inside.
Just imagine the tank in the picture above on a battlefield somewhere, the mg on top fires just as it is in the picture with no one outside
Nope, commander can always control hull MG (if it’s working, since majority of tanks don’t have working hull MGs sadly). But if you are switched to gunner, he can’t.
