2. Experimental Smoke Grenades : 100 missions
3. Improved Turbocharger : 200 missions
4. ATGM Targeting System : 300 missions

All Missions completed with any tank, count toward the total, and the separate totals count toward each other: i.e. the 50 for Reinforced Tracks, counts towards the 100 missions for the next upgrade, and so on. There is no choice of upgrades, they are unlocked in a set order, and free XP cannot be used to boost progess.

History

Produced from 1989-2004, the Type 89 was introduction into service in 1989. It is the most modern tracked IFV in Japanese service and a total of 68 vehicles were built. It was developed in the 1980s to replace older APCs, but the collapse of the Soviet Union as the biggest threat to mainland Japan, led to an extremely limited production run between 1989 and 2004, making the Type 89, when it comes to cost per unit, the most expensive IFV in the world.
