Someone will say: but the land mines are 75mm!
I will answer: the j1 cannon also picks up crowds of bots and recharges very quickly, even faster than the chi nu cannon, you can ride a puma or j1 or pz3M and you will see this.
And yes, I am silent about the fact that the pz3 has a machine gun paired with a cannon, which is not present on almost all Japanese tanks/
Put Ho-Ni III in BR2 and Chi-Nu in BR3. Chi-Nu is litterally the Japanese sherman, putting it in BR 2 would be too powerful imo. Ho-I is already fine at BR2 as an Anti-Infantry platform without too much drawbacks, givin the Ho-Ni III in BR2 would give the japs a vehicle capable of fighting US tanks at that BR (I know that Ho-Ni I is already BR2 but it is open top and very vulnerable).
But yeah Chi-Nu has litterally nothing to do in BR4, the devs just put it there so that BR4 wouldn’t be empty with the merge, Chi-to would be much more suited to BR4.
Nowhere near the effectiveness of 75mm, Chi Nu has almost 4 times of explosive in its He shell(810g vs 217.6g).
Don’t forget that Chi Nu can easily one shot enemy tank while German 50mm usually can’t.
Chi nu should be the first tank in br 3 with Sherman II and M4A1 that’s it’s not it’s up tiered. Like wtf didn’t DF not see chi to/late and chi Ri. Tho’s should be br 3 late and 4. DF copying their tanks from WT then do they not both to look where it’s placed there?. As a Japanese I don’t trust Darkflow to correctly so Japan right with how many times they failing.
