Type 63 from update 1.22 World of Tanks/WoT.
With the release of update 1.22, the Type 63 tank (Japan, HT-8, premium, mechanics: automatic hydropneumatic suspension, gun cooling) will be randomly driven by developers and supertesters.
Background
The Type 63 project is an initiative developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to improve firepower and protection while maintaining high mobility. The main innovation was the design of the turret with a swinging isolated central weapons bay, in the aft part of which there was an automatic loader. Work was stopped at the stage of layout solutions and patents for the tower.
Tipo 63 dall’aggiornamento 1.22 World of Tanks/WoT.
Con il rilascio dell’aggiornamento 1.22, il carro armato Tipo 63 (Giappone, HT-8, premium, meccanica: sospensione idropneumatica automatica, raffreddamento del cannone) sarà guidato in modo casuale da sviluppatori e supertester.
Sfondo
Il progetto Type 63 è un’iniziativa sviluppata da Mitsubishi Heavy Industries per migliorare la potenza di fuoco e la protezione mantenendo un’elevata mobilità. L’innovazione principale era il design della torretta con un vano armi centrale isolato oscillante, nella parte poppiera del quale era presente un caricatore automatico. I lavori sono stati interrotti nella fase delle soluzioni di layout e dei brevetti per la torre.
