[Development] Type 75: The Pulverizer

The Type 75 is a Japanese self-propelled howitzer, developed in the early 1970s for the JGSDF. Still serving as one of Japan’s primary mobile artillery units to this day, the Type 75 SPH will soon become available to all Japanese tankers, coming soon to War Thunder as part of the upcoming update 1.91 "Night Vision"!

In War Thunder, the Type 75 will be a new SPG, coming to the game as part of the next major update and will become available to all tankers at rank V of the Japanese ground forces tree. Combining the destructive power of a massive 155mm howitzer with a high rate of fire and a very nimble chassis, the Type 75 is bound to quickly find many fans among tankers who enjoy simply blasting away bits and pieces of tanks with big guns!





The biggest and most noticeable feature of the Type 75 is of course its 155mm NSJ L/30 howitzer. Although generally performing similar to other canons of this caliber in the game, tankers will have access to several key features on the Type 75, which distinguish it from other vehicles of this class in War Thunder. Namely, the Type 75 is fitted with a fully rotatable turret, giving it far more flexibility and tactical opportunities in engagements than other SPGs in the game. Furthermore, the Type 75 is also equipped with a drum-fed autoloading mechanism for its main gun. As a result, the vehicle has a flat 10 second reload time before the next round is ready to reduce another tank to ashes. Thanks to this handy feature, the Type 75 is also the first SPG in the game to offer such a fast reload for this gun caliber.
