The Karo-Tei Type 2 is a sub-chaser boat used by the Japanese in the later stages of WW2 to combat submarine threats in the waters of Okinawa and the Philippines. In update 1.89 “Imperial Navy”, the Karo-Tei Type 2 will be one of the first vessels unlocked by future IJN captains in War Thunder!
Briefly: A late-war Japanese sub-chaser boat, introduced as one of the first vessels for future Japanese captains in the game.
The Karo-Tei Type 2 sub-chaser was developed in the later stages of WW2 and commissioned into service in 1944. The vessel’s primary task was to protect the Japanese naval bases at Okinawa and the Philippines from light allied assaults and submarines in particular. The vessel only saw limited use due to the ever worsening war situation for Japan at the time.
Karo-Tei Type 2, sub-chaser, Japan, rank I.
pros:
- Small profile
- Cannon armament
- Quickly researchable AP 37-mm shells
cons:
- Modest crew count
- Average mobility
The vessel doesn’t necessarily excel in any aspect, but instead, offers a good balance between firepower, survivability and protection, making it a suitable vehicle for getting acquainted with early Japanese naval designs.
As such, aspiring captains of this vessel can expect to command a sub-chaser boat, armed with a single 37mm Type 94 as well as a 20mm Type 98 cannon, which form its primary armament. Additionally, 10 depth charges may be mounted on the ship’s aft to be used as a defensive measure to shake off potential pursuers. All this firepower, including the 13 crew members on board, are powered by two pairs of engines, which in turn allow the Karo-Tei Type 2 to reach a top speed of 25.9 knots (48 km/h) at full speed ahead.
Now we just need to wait for update 1.89 “Imperial Navy” to try this boat out. Smooth waters commanders!

I really happy to see such a boat in War Thunder!! By the way, this is an Army's subchaser so it should not have rising sun flag... In history Army's gunboats had sun mark flag (national flag of Japan)
We will check this, thanks for pointing it out!
Stona_WT, will the RP rewards for boats be fixed? I often have the feeling that eventhough I do really well, and am on the frontlines the entire game, I only get 1100~ RP, this is with premium acount. the grind feels unfair and puts players off. my friends realy don't like boats, and I cite this as the bigest problem. the gamemode has a lot of potantial, but I think it needs new game modes, better grind, and for heavens sake, let us choose the direction our vessel faces when we spawn in!
I'm pretty sure that there were 2 Rising Sun flags, one for the army, another for the navy. Either way, it is still wrong since the army's rising sun had it in the center of the flag instead of to the side, like the navy's.
Pashico1, one rising sun was red and yellow, one was white and red, and the other was thenational flag of red sun ball on white, but kamakazie had another variet with writing on the national flag.
When will you fix kill and assist award system for Air RB? It is not working correctly since the longest of times.
I totally agree, this is nonsense. It's the same in AB, you set a plane on fire, and you don't even get an assist.
yes, I shot a few shots at a bomber that was already going down in the hopes for an assist... stole the kil instead... I didn't crit him, just grazed him on the hope I got extra points... the other guy was logically upset.
We need submarine :)
give them time its a new game boats
So, whats the point of having a class designated "Sub Chaser" in a game without Submarines? I always wondered why.
Because there will be submariens in WT one day maybe?
Hopefully in 1.91/1.93 submarines... :c
All answers (3)War_Gaming_NL, later the better...
Are there any plans in the works to update Japanese crew models? seeing IJA soldiers operating a postwar SDF vehicle such as the Type 60 SPRG, especially with their PS2 graphic faces is somewhat jarring.
I think there is more important things to work on.
Looks like fun! A floating Ha-Go cannon!
AB-Tei Pioneer comes after this vessel and best way to discribe it is like a Battleship and a Ha-Go had a baby together.

Any ideas for a Japanese SAM tank? Type 93 or a Type 96?
Check carefully which vehicles can be used standalone. Some systems require other vehicles for targeting and such.
JPAU401, True. The Type 93 IS the surface-to-air missile, but the system that I found that holds the missile is a truck/jeep sort of vehicle. Looking up on it, the Type 93 with the truck can guide the missile with inferred.
one option is to give the Type 79 Missiles on the Type 89 IFV the proxy fuse HE warheads it could use.
Optical_Ilyushin, Good point. To have both an IFV and this missile mod would make for an interesting tank as well has fill this Japanese SAM gap.
