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!

IJN naval tree looks great so far! Can't wait to try out all the machines! I hope that in some future, we will see Kitakami and scout planes in action! Also submarines would be awesome.
Since when does a quickly researched modificatuon became a pro?
Where in the entire devblog does it say anything about researched modifications? xD
War_Gaming_NL, pros: Quickly researchable AP 37-mm shells
any news on any ww2 tank? :(
I didn't see any WW2 tanks in the first dev server. So... I wouldn't count on it too much to be honest And they didn't add ww2 tanks for ages (unless we count the addition of italian tanks, but, apart from that, they just added more and more advanced tanks/MBT's). I think they now care only for the income, which, as we know, comes from difficult stuff to research (or if it takes too long to do).
The game is dominated by WW2 vehicles and they're focusing on more modern stuff because tier 6 and tier 7 need fleshing out... so far only modern vehicles are bringing new mechanics and gameplay. A new ww2 plane or tank would be nice, yes, but only for a few hours or days because of the repetitive and old gameplay.
Can not wait to try out this small boat~
i guess it will continue as mixed battles in top air RB since no counters for the t-2 are coming...
Not even gonna play top tier RB anymore, because the only thing i play is the MiG-19PT :c
War_Gaming_NL, me too, only the 19p and it's become boring... mixed after mixed, at least if they gave the USSR a mig19S with the R3S' maybe they could limit to only USSR, USA, France, britain vs germany, japan and italy
This wasn't in the devserver right ?
It was
It was
Sorry Gaijin for my complains the last couple of times. I'm just very sasd that there is no MiG-21F-13 coming his patch. Same goes for the T-90A. Because the US helicopters recieved new laser systems, the T-80U becomes even more of a target for helicopters (because the T-90 had a certain counter to it). And yes we have 2s6, but the system would be usefull. Same goes for the APFSDS. But hey if the datamine is correct we will get a Mil Mi-28! Please give a devblog about it before next dev server.
Sad*
Lol why would they add a MiG-21? What happened to people NOT wanting powercreep? Do you just want another T-2, but for YOUR country this time? It looks like it, but you don't seem to grasp that they can't add another OP plane and expect people to be happy with them. They way you're wording your comment implies that you WERE expecting there to be a MiG-21. Why? That's just stupid.
Are the russian going to get more love this patch? -Asking for a friend
Shturm-S, a new sub-chaser if i'm correct and the Mil Mi-28 (see datamine for 1.89).
War_Gaming_NL, ty big chief
Nice boat! Rather short devblog though.
A boat worthy for role-play in hunting for fish during fishing season! now we just need the Mitsubishi SH-60J Seahawk for whenever our fishing boats are lost and in distress!
