Info

The Self-Propelled Anti-Air Type 1998 Raiko is a highly effective anti-aircraft vehicle developed by Ishikawa and introduced in 1998. Built on the versatile and proven chassis of the Type-98 Hoko main battle tank, the Raiko was designed to protect armored units from a variety of aerial threats while retaining secondary capabilities for ground combat.

The Raiko features a redesigned turret equipped with twin 30mm autocannons, capable of rapid and accurate fire. These are guided by the CR-95B Compact radar, mounted at the rear of the turret, which provides precise target acquisition and tracking of low-flying aircraft, drones, and helicopters. The automated fire control system ensures swift engagement, but the system can be switched to manual mode by the commander for engaging ground targets like infantry, lightly armored vehicles, and fortifications or in the event of radar damage.

The vehicle is powered by a robust V12 diesel engine, enabling it to reach speeds of 60–70 km/h and maintain mobility alongside armored formations. Its compact interior sacrifices some crew comfort, particularly for the driver, to maximize space for ammunition and radar systems.

The Type 1998 Raiko has proven to be a flexible and reliable platform, offering both dedicated anti-aircraft support and the ability to adapt to multi-role tasks in modern battlefield environments. Its introduction marked Ishikawa's commitment to advancing its armored vehicle capabilities into the late 20th century.

    I guess just copy and paste the exact same code from the engine. Since I did get it from another source. Just limit the wheel's maxAngularVelocity

    GREAT TANK!

    And a question, If I were to use a similar code too that of your M46, what would the code need to be for two 600hp engines to have a max speed of 50kmh?
