DROP: Ho-Ni III to Br 2

Since the helpers want to have individual threads per suggestion:

Most Tank destroyers in the game have a powerful gun and in turn get significant downsides such as casemates or open turrets. In general, so long as they don’t introduce further balance issues (= be very hard to kill for down / same tier) the devs should look at downtiering such TDs to give players more reason to use them as well as giving them a chance to kill enemy tanks more reliably in uptiers.

Therefore drop Ho-Ni III to BR 2.

It’s got the same good gun as Ho-Ni I, but is marginally more protected against small arms fire with still very thin armor. Therefore dropping this down to BR 2 will create a smoother progression for JP TDs and be an upgrade to the Ho-Ni I.

Like the idea if you support it.

type 90 is the same as type 3 wow the japanese use a different numbering system, and what transition from br2 to br2
yes, no thicker armor but better coverage and raising the crew from 3 to five so no it stays at br3 unless you want to drop 2 crew members

Lol how is having 5 crew justifying this thing on br3? Using this logic many German tank on br2 should be br3.

Ho-Ni I actually have 5 crew
2 extra gunner is removed in warthunder and enlisted

No having a decent gun, fully enclosed turret and five crew members does

if you see Sherman… you don’t see Sherman, you don’t break through it and you die
