Chi-To
The Chi-To currently is a BR4 tank for Japan, however I suggest placing down into br3.
Japans other BR3 Tanks ( Ho-Ni III, Chi-Ha Short Gun, Chi-Nu, and Na-to) while being good in select roles, fail to provide the faction with a reliable all-purpose tank. The Chi-To would fill this gap excellently, being a solid choice in BR3-4, while also NOT being too strong in BR2 down-tiers.
Japan: Chi-To
. 75-80mm of effective front armor
. 149mm of pen
Other nations Tanks at BR3
Germany: Pz. IV H
. 50-80mm of effective front armor
. 145mm of pen
USSR: T-34-57
. 60-80mm of effective front armor
. 145mm of pen
USA: Sherman
. 70-90mm of effective front armor
. 104mm of pen
Apart from the US having a weaker cannon than the others, all other tanks share similar stats in terms of Armor and Armor Pen.
In conclusion lowering the Chi-To to BR3 would be a healthy change as it would allow Japan players to have a main battle tank at an appropriate BR, instead of only having open top SPGs and paper thin armored tanks.

100% agree, too weak for BR4, same lsightly below average armour with the cannon being only slightly stronger than the L/48, and the Chi-Nu can’t even penetrate the shermans frontally, so I think this would be completely fine

It might be weak for BR4 but its still the best Japn tank on BR4, so it should be kept there. Balance Japan by buffing other traits of it
It is also the worst Japan tank on BR4 since it is the only Japan tank on BR4.
Your theory doesn’t even make sense lol.
Are we having Japan vs Japan fight? If not, why it is the best Japan tank on BR4 even matter?
simply if they take a br4 loadout its the only tank they can tank thus the best tank to take to br4 for japan. unless there is a br 3 tank for japan that is stronger.
I think this would be pretty fair, tho I would like to see the Chi-To Late added to BR4 first, then shift this tank down to BR3. It just feels awkward shifting things around and leaving an entire BR gap for Japan, like their semi auto rifles now. Though in saying that, the Chi-Ri could probably go to BR4 just fine, then this can come down too.
Either way, I can get behind this.

It is the only tank on br4 they can take, so it is the best tank and the worst tank at the same time.So saying it is the best br4 Japan tank means nothing.
