That begs the question, what would Japan get as a BR4/5 tank? In terms of tanks, their designs were designed to kill Sherman 75s so at most a relatively weak medium tank

Longer than I expected, suppose it’s just it compared to those giants that makes it look so miniscule. Would be a funny br1 event tank honestly

Japan never had a tank on the Tiger/Panther/IS/T-34-85/Jumbo/Pershing level.

Japan 100% must’ve been BR 1-3.

You can’t just make stuff up.

without something of a known scale (human) no one can tell scale WW2 German Tank Type and Size Comparison 3D

Japan should have never left BR3 in general.

agreed end the TT at br3 with Type 4 as their best weapon

or remove Japan, gimp to br3 or remove hmm which is worse

Ho-Ri II was the chosen production version since it was using Chi-Ri II chassis which sped up the developement. Whilst none of the Ho-Ri productions were completed, we know that 5 of them were under construction.


It has 125mm flat frontal armour. The same 105mm Main Gun.

I wouldnt mind the O-I either since it was built and even did mobility tests in 1943 until it was scrapped for metal later that year.

It can also shoot the same 15cm HE as Ho-Ro but at like twice the velocity. Insane amount of TNT and 55mm HE effect vs armour. Will kill any tank in the game and huge anti infatnry blast radius as well

This is more plausible than a Ho-Ri.
