We tested this out some time ago, by having a Type 10 do a fan shot against an arc of tanks alternating between WW2 and Type 10, and only the Type 10 lit up. We suspect this has something to do with its coding where the frequency or length of the IR code transmission has been changed. However we discovered that it is easier to hit one of these tanks with any of the older tanks, and harder for them to hit an opponent. What's that you may ask? These two tanks did not have the freezing behaviour of the Leopard 2A6, and they are able to run and gun. The next noticeable change was that some tanks introduced momentum, most noticeably the KV-series.Īnd then the mentioned fan-ban above was quietly applied to the Type 10 and Abrams boards. Tamiya gave it a mobility nerf that it would freeze upon firing, or getting hit. The first change came with the release of the Leopard 2A6, with superior speed and some suggest increased IR hitting range (debatable). Most of Tamiya's current system has remained unchanged since the Tiger I was first released, the weight classes, hit points and reload times. Perhaps predictably so when it seems like there's no change imminent.īut Tamiya did sneak in a small update to their tanks in two recent releases - a fan ban. For the thread starter, it seems YHR has left the hobby.
