Give better AT to japan Infantry if you give the T99 to the US

Currently japanese infantry anti tank is more than lackluster and if you give US a tank with such incredible killing power they need to be able to kill it quickly aswell but here lies the problem.

The curret AT is woefully inadequate to do that.
Type 4 cant even pen its side when you stand next to it. And Type 5 is missing a sight to accuaccately aim at weakspots meaning your still stuck with sideshooting the tank which is possible on the M26 but still not great as the 20mm extra does not give that much leeway as you would like.

Possible AT options have been mentioned again and again in othere post, who go into more detail than I will, but they are overdue regardless of the the new additions.

If you want to tell me that the TT Ho Ri is op and the new T99 is there as a counter then please explain how the M8 rockets will help you kill the tank.

So just use the Ho Ri as japan and you will be fine?
Wrong, the current Ho Ri feels very buggy and dies to every single plane rocket the moment you spawn which happens all the dam time VS the US. Which make the Ho Ri very unreliable as a counter.
If anything the new Ho Ri will be even more suceptible to rocket spam since it has even less armor all round so it will die just as fast and will still die in a 1 VS 1 just with the T99 M26 as it still retains it 90mm cannon.

Yeah,the fact they are selling the Ho Ri prototype with only 75mm of armour compared to 115 or whatever it was was…questionable.Fully support Japan getting more AT options,very much needed

It would only be half as bad if the Ho Ri did not die every single time a rocket landed somewhere nearby, which means tanks arent even a reliable counter to it.

take your old reliable type 97 and AIM to the rockets,like you do with a calipe and you will see a pretty fireworks

it’s 75 on the hull which the same sloping angle as the TT one, the one that you should look at is the turret armor since that’s going to be the kill shot, that is the 150mm which will not block the 90mm or 76 HVAP

list them not many each giving japans at rifle a run for it in the weight department, slightly more truthful than the ho ri itself
