According to the patch notes from the latest update, the premium tier VIII Japanese tank destroyer has been renamed from the "Type 5 Ho-To" to the "Type 5 Ka-Ri." This is an interesting change to make, as the Type 5 Ho-To was a real prototype vehicle, albeit one that was designated as an SPG.
WG has a history of using incorrect names for a lot of tanks, even on real designs. Changing the name on what is undoubtedly a fake tank destroyer signals to me that the actual Ho-To might make an appearance in the line, just as a TD instead of an SPG. This would not be the first time that a tank has been added under an incorrect class, after all.
Given the technical specifications of the Ho-To, I can see it being introduced at either tier IV or V – good news for those of us who want a full line of TDs, rather than just a mini-branch.
What do you think?
