That matches the early models of M270 MLRS rockets, so I'll say it's using the same system, just with two four-shot pods instead. The tube artillery piece had a self-protection minigun mounted on it with the same 200 burst ammo supply as the IFV, so I kept it for the rocket artillery vehicle.
I also made the Type 89 tank hunter variant of the vehicle, with heavy ATGMs in a triple launcher in the turret and twenty-one missiles stored in the hull. Since this is built to take on enemy tanks, I added some protection to the front and the turret in the form of ERA; it won't completely stop an incoming missile but it will mitigate the damage if using the Overkill Rules for critical hits. The Inabans are likely importing advanced missiles from Sapporo, and putting them to use here. The vehicle's not intended as a line combatant of its own but a supplement - there's three companies per brigade, and typically attach one company of Type 89s to each battalion of mechanized infantry for a fire support role. The ATGM carrier didn't initially have a self-protection minigun, so I added one to it to keep common themes across the AFV fleet; the Inabans love their miniguns. Posting the revised record sheet here and deleting the old one.
