Type 60 Proto 4 [🇯🇵 Japan, LT-8]
Historical Reference:
In the mid-1950s, the Japan Self-Defense Forces began commissioning domestic companies to develop military vehicles. A competition was announced for a tank destroyer equipped with two recoilless guns. In 1956, Komatsu proposed the first prototype, while Mitsubishi created the second.
A third experimental model followed. In 1959, Komatsu built three experimental prototypes of the fourth design. After further refinements, the fourth model was accepted into service as the Type 60 Self-Propelled Recoilless Gun.
A distinctive feature of the Type 60 and its predecessors was the gun aiming and firing system: the central section of the casemate with the armament could be raised, increasing both horizontal and vertical aiming angles. This allowed the vehicle to fire from cover, reducing the risk of return fire. The design proved successful, and the Type 60 remained in service with the Japan Self-Defense Forces until the 2000s.
are these atgm or??
No they are recoilless rifles, they can shoot pretty much anything that fits

I’m actually into this kind of addition because the Type 60 Proto 4 doesn’t just look odd for the sake of it. The bit about the raised central casemate and twin recoilless guns letting it fire from cover gives those screenshots some real context, and makes the design feel less like random Wacky Steps and more like smart Cold War weirdness.
A third experimental model soon followed. In 1959, Komatsu developed three prototypes based on a fourth design concept. After undergoing further refinements, this version was officially accepted into service as the Type 60 Self-Propelled Recoilless Gun.
One of the most distinctive features of the Type 60 and its predecessors was its innovative aiming and firing system. The central section of the casemate, which housed the weapon, could be elevated to increase both horizontal and vertical firing angles. This allowed the vehicle to engage targets while remaining under cover, significantly reducing exposure to return fire. The design proved to be highly effective, and the Type 60 remained in service with the Japan Self-Defense Forces until the 2000s.
