A Spg vehycle for Japan should really be added the Type 4 Ho-Ro

I think its hard to find ground vehycles for Japan that did see combat in ww2 and be higher than BR1.

If you know more please tell me about it below my post.

There was another post about this vehycle , but no poll i think it dosnt count then, Type 4 Ho-Ro BR2 - Game discussion / Japan - Enlisted — official forum but in it are still good informations about this vehycle!

Combat history

The Type 4 Ho-Ro was rushed into service, deployed and saw combat as part of the 2nd Tank Division with the Japanese Fourteenth Area Army during the Philippines Campaign in the last year of World War II.[1][8] Remaining units were deployed to Okinawa in ones and twos for island defense during the Battle of Okinawa, but were severely outnumbered by American artillery.[5]

More Informations here about it https://youtu.be/3B4OgUivCMY its exist even in Warthunder then it would be more easy to add to enlisted, and in the last update Japan only just did get a Rocket Launcher
thats why i think the Type 4 Ho-Ro SPG should be added to the Japanese Tech Tree.

Battle rating i think shoul be best BR 2 , max BR3 but i think this vehycle would be maybe to weak for BR3.

Stats & Specifications
Main
armament 150 mm Type 38 howitzer

The main gun could fire Type 88 APHE rounds and HEAT rounds, if necessary. Given its breech loader, the maximum rate of fire was only 5 rounds per minute

I think it would destroy most things in BR 2 and many Infantry as well!

Armor 12–25mm (0.98in)
Main
armament 150 mm Type 38 howitzer
Secondary
armament None

In the German wikipedia is written that a 1 × 7,7-mm-MG existed as a secondary but i am not sure if its true!

I think it would most likely to weak for Br 3,

But most likely be very good for Br 2.

I think even by a up tier you could still destroy many br 3 Vehycles!

open topped vehicles that can be penned from the front with AT rifles should never be higher than br2

It will most likely be br3 if dev added it consider that the 15 cm sIG 33 B Sfl is on br3.

Br2 at best
Also its great that its in war thunder as if its get added the devs wont complain about making brand new model so maybe this vehicle might be added someday

When the Soviets did get the SU-122, i think then the Japanese should get maybe the HO-Ro!
