It ate 2 152mm he shells from kv 2, atleast 10 explosion packs to all sides and one 105mm armour piercing shell from ho-ri. This obviously should not happen as the other at cannons can get easily killed by just standard at rifles. Please make the 17 pounder less resistant when you decide to add it in the live server

Lol…how unfortunate
This is a issue all AT and AA gun, I tried to kill a German AT and AA with the HE from the t34 57, neither a scratch, they are to much HE and explosion resistant

That also happens. I have seen aa guns take multiple hits from 105mm he shells which is just stupid. But this cannon refuses to die no matter what i shoot at it. Also any idea why the devs decided it was a good idea to give japan pak 40?
First the soviets and now japan? They never even recieved any pak 40s from germans!
Also if anybody was wondering what do the soviets get they will just use lend lease 17 pounders
Really lazy from the devs part. I hope these are just placeholders and not the final product

They gave the Axis the Pak43 in 88?

Ever considered that the gun might just not be fully finished yet and whatever is in the editor might not be a finished product?
cause it was easy way to get japan better AT gun. i have checked alternatives for better japanese AT gun, but there are none. you either have current AT gun or canceled 57mm gun. other alternatives are field guns with questionable effectiveness against tanks(i havent see any info about their performance).
kinda disappointed with their choice of AT gun. i hope that at least it has APDS so it can be useful against KT.
Sad America noises
Type 5 75mm is a prototype of the most powerful Japanese anti-tank gun they made with a penetration of 150 mm at a distance of 100 meters
oh we have new leaks of the next AT cannons?
i want to see the pak 43 : )

so it was used outside of tanks?
The field guns would have been a better option, some being noted in tests to have at least similar performance to the pak40, and you could balance it by hte sheer fact its a field gun and hence would be a great anti infantry gun too at the cost of not being as powerful as something like the 17pounder
Yeah the fact they didnt go for the BS-3 is very sad, they had such a perfect option to go for there, I very much hope its just a stand in model because they wanted to rush out a option. Because both the soviet 17 pounder and the Japanese pak40 are just insane choices.
Side note to the original topic, lmao, the teaninium is too strong, not even stalinium can defeat it.
Originally the 75mm HE shell of the Panzer IV (and the whole tank itself) was designed to destroy gun emplacements.
HE should easily destroy AT guns, using AP shells is very retarded. Its probably some stupid design error that AT guns have tank mechanism and need to be penetrated to destroy.
There is some very rough field mountings of it, but as far as im aware those are purely for testing, and as im sure your aware, considering Japanese policy at the end of the war, it can be near impossible to find hard evidence on anything that wasnt physically captured in action. Personally I think one of the naval guns mounted on land could have been a solid option as well, since they would fit the role of a static defence at least, even at the cost of being unable to move the gun
100% agree, since those gun shields are often too thin for the shell to fuse even, and certainly clipping a gun shield shouldnt knock a tank gun out of action.
Side note, its criminal we still dont have the zis 3 as the soviet AT gun as is, why are they still using a pak40???
