The Type 87 anti-aircraft gun entered into service in the Japanese Self-Defense Forces as a replacement for the hopelessly outdated American Duster SPAAG. The specification and concept for the new anti-aircraft vehicle was based on the German Gepard SPAAG that our players know so well. The vehicle used a modified Type 74 tank chassis and was equipped with the Oerlikon 35 mm twin cannon system as used in the Gepard. The vehicle was a success – more than 50 of these SPAAGs were put into production and several units remain in service today.
In War Thunder, the Type 87 SPAAG will take its place on rank V of the Japanese armoured vehicles research tree. In addition to fighting against aerial threats, the Type 87 can try its luck by attacking ground vehicles – for these purposes it’s preferable to research APCR ammo. You’d better not attack enemy tanks directly head-on, but the lightly armoured sides and rear of many top tanks are pretty much vulnerable to a heavy burst of 35 mm armour-piercing rounds.

Needless to say, the Type 87’s place is not at the tip of the spear – its light bulletproof armour makes it easy prey even for aircraft cannons, and it only has a three-man crew. But its decent mobility and speed, passed on from the Type 74, allow the Type 87 to quickly reach cover or attack opponents from the side – and a seasoned commander will make good use of this capability!
The Type 87 SPAAG will be added to the game in the upcoming major update – follow the news!

Any chance we'll get the radar leading and detection working on the tier V AA?
Doesnt it have Composite armor in certain places???
It could have the armor installed but, it wasn't with the base model.
1987 Hmmm......Gaijin What ?
A lovely addition to the game. However what of the Marksmen?
Cough* ATGM Cough* Cough*
they shouldnt have add the ATGM´s at all
OFW_Schroedinger, ATGMS are ballenced :D
I'm curious here, was the choice made to simply not model the Composite armour on this particular machine?
The Type 87 could have composite armor installed. It didn't have it when it came off the line.
centurion marksman please
it would be great
I wonder when you´re gonna stop releasing copy paste tanks
when japan will stop losing the ww2 70 year ago and keep producing tank before USA destroy their military industry. oops, it cannot happen. seriously, warthunder is not like world of tank. they only add actual vehicles who was actually used in those country. after ww2 the japan had to use the American tank for their police (because there was no more army allow) so in game it create a BR gap for actual Japanese made tank. so we have to fill it with borrowed tank from USA which was actually used
and that one is not a copy paste of the German gepard (only the role and efficiency is similar). more like a upgrade of the Japanese MTB of this time. just like the British crusader AA
NINETEEN EIGHTY SEVEN?!? Can we have our Abrams and T-80Us Now? Just 1987 Holy crap boi
I mean I would like to see T-80U vs M1
F7UCutlass, t-80 would beat the basic M1. maybe one of the m1 variant or the basic t-80 would be more balenced
O-I When???
