[2020] O-I: Japan's Super Heavy Tank

Unfortunately its not just about not being a "paper tank". There are still more questions than answers surrounding this vehicle and the information available. Yes, in a broad sense the blueprints and some very minor testing data exist for this machine. But to make a tank, generally much more information is required.

The developers prefer not to go by guesswork and implementing this tank based on what's been presented so far simply is not viable.

Not at all when it comes to modelling, photographic reference, module placement and lots more. Specific armour values have to be taken with the best possible sources, but everything else is pretty much extensively covered in most cases.

Just because this isn't a WW2 game anymore, doesn't mean paper tanks are now ok.

I was responding to a specific post making a comparison of the game no longer being WW2 centred and Paper tanks being viable now. The two are not linked. I made no mention of the O-I here. Simply corrected a false assumption about the game.

This is incorrect. The majority of the Radkampf 90 still exists today in a museum:

This already is far more useful from a modelling and development perspective than any drawings and blueprints as museum examples are invaluable to our artists in replicating vehicles.

By comparison, all that "remains" of the O-
