Historically Japan did purchase a Tiger I tank alongside a Panther and Panzer III tanks, these were transfered to Japanese service, but because Japan had no way of transporting tanks from Europe to mainland Japan, Japanese soldiers evaluated the tanks and leased them back to Germany.
But since in game weapons and vehicles are no longer tied to a specific location or time, Japanese Tiger is accurate according to game rules.
However Japan did NOT purchase a Tiger II tank thus giving Japan one would be pure fantasy and there is no need for it because Ho-Ri was added to the game.
I disagree. Ho-ri has no turret and no coax making it extremely vulnerable for infantry. Also the roof is really thin allowing strafing runs to harm the crew. It has better gun and frontal armour but tiger 2 is more versatile in my opinion
True. Pacific maps allow for long range camping unlike many western/eastern front maps. The heavy tank no 6 also feels lot better than normal tiger for this reason. Maybe in the future when japan gets Manila and Manchuria
Well Ho-Ri main gun is insane it can take out Jumbo frontally so its very good tank. But all the Tiger I models should be moved to BR IV and given APCR cuz right now they are very bad…same with the Firefly.
I disagree with capture content, except modified or unique, because it can be a blanket excuse to just give anyone anything
I’m not entirely against the possibility of fully adding capture content and we get to the point with Germans spawning with Garands and Americans for Stgs, but I think we should keep all faction’s arsenals distinct as best we can
they purchased one tank without the ability to get it to Asia or make more, if a Japanese tiger is realistic an American king tiger is, not asking for tech tree event would be preferred but premium is ok. otherwise Japan should get tiger tank not tiger tanks.
