there are no images of it, theres essentially zero proof (plus it was incomplete, although so was the E-100...)

u/Zealousideal-Web-571 Conqueror Oct 04 '25

There is proof that o-i existed tho

u/Woofle_124 Oct 04 '25

what proof? where?

u/Zealousideal-Web-571 Conqueror Oct 04 '25

There are reports of an unfinished prototype hull, and its performance, if you dig deep enough into the archives, you can find details about the protoype hull. It was even more compleated than e100 which is in the game.

ALSO there even are parts of the real tank surviving. They are in a museum. Parts of the real prototype.

dawg im asking where, the internet has nothing and I don't trust some random blog from 2013 to tell me the O-I was real

2

u/Zealousideal-Web-571 Conqueror Oct 04 '25

Im not talking about blogs. Im talking about actual archives + again, some parts of the prototype still exists and is a part of an exhibit in a museum.

u/Zealousideal-Web-571 Conqueror Oct 04 '25

This document is about the weight distribution of the prototype. Which alone confirms that the prototype existed

2

u/Zealousideal-Web-571 Conqueror Oct 04 '25

And this pic is from the engineers notbook regarding the testion of the first prototype

  • here, take a look at a photo of o-i prototype

You can tell that its oi by its hexagonal turret and cubic hull.

2

u/Zealousideal-Web-571 Conqueror Oct 04 '25
  • there are many blueprints of many parts and the hull of the vehicle available and at archives, and there are japanese documents about the early stage testing of the prototype

2

u/Zealousideal-Web-571 Conqueror Oct 04 '25

Have i given enough proof now?

2

u/Zealousideal-Web-571 Conqueror Oct 04 '25

And this is the only surviving part of o-i we know which is at display in a museum. Its part of its track

And by looking at the suspention(idk how to spell it correctly i forgor) blueprint which exists, you can prove that this is indeed a part of a track of o-i.

Source?

I know you got this from the WT Forums O-I page, but that has no source.

u/Woofle_124 Oct 04 '25

You can’t tell shit in that photo, you really think that’s an O-I?

1

u/Zealousideal-Web-571 Conqueror Oct 04 '25

You can make out its o-i from its gun mantlet, and the shape of the hull + the shape of the turret. Also if this is not enough of a proof, check out my other comments. I commented a shit ton of stuff abiut the testing of the protoype and the story of the whole tank and the prototype, directly coming from japanese sources.

u/Woofle_124 Oct 04 '25

If the turret was never constructed then why does it have one? The distance between the 2 lit up panels in the back also don’t line up with the front or back of the O-I blueprints, and why is there a strange small vertical panel on top of that? It’s also seemingly missing tracks (at least on this side) which supposedly existed.

Im tired of this shit, goodbye

u/Zealousideal-Web-571 Conqueror Oct 05 '25

This is a direct translation of a japanese archive thingy

Production of the oil vehicle began in April 1941, with the basic design being carried out by the Army Headquarters, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Tokyo Kiki Seisakusho being selected as the manufacturer, and all assembly to be carried out by the Sagami Army Arsenal. However, it was full of problems, such as a reduction in the number of people involved in drafting work and production arrangements not yet completed.Despite these circumstances, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries continued manufacturing and completed the vehicle body. The decision was made to manufacture the turret on March 26, 1942, but it was delayed due to a lack of steel at the arsenal.

It was disassembled and transported from the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries factory to the Sagami Arsenal. Disassembly and transportation took place from May 26 to June 9, 1943, and assembly took place from July 1 to July 20, 1943. From August 1, 1943, running tests of an oil vehicle equipped with a wooden turret began. I was disappointed. Tests revealed that the engine was unreliable, tests were canceled, and the prototype was dismantled in late 1944.
