Not that I do a lot of playing with the Japanese or tanks for that matter, but at least in a tank your bots are self contained and obey orders. Anyway, I figured out that a BR1 Japanese tank really shouldn’t be starting shit against a German tank. I’m sure someone can tell me what make and BR level the German tank is in this battle, but my guess is BR3?
Anyway, I come rolling up in my Ke-Ni low mileage one owner tank and peek around a corner and see the German tank, so I start shooting. I ended up firing 19 tank rounds into the German tank, and she was still rolling and the turret was still turning, but I could see a couple deaths. Finally, I’d had enough so I bailed from the tank and lobbed two explosion packs before she finally succumbed. Anyway, Japanese tanks, are insufferably weak.
Tank of choice? Well, I only have three Japanese tanks, none are good, so choices are slim.
Explosion pack #2, success.
I did jump back in the weak ass tank and continued, although I literally had to hit enemy soldiers with the supposedly high explosive rounds to actually kill them.
So in conclusion, don’t take a low level pretend Japanese tank to a real tank battle, oh, and don’t do drugs.
Well pretty much any BR I tank is lacklustre, at least at anti-tank duties. Against BR II tanks they do reasonably ok at side penning, but that’s about it. Anti-personnel is also disappointing, and I’d actually take an AA or autoloader tank (or whatever you call things like the PZ II and T60) at that BR instead as its anti-personnel capabilities are way better.
People may call Japanese sport bikes “not a real bike” which doesn’t make sense (and untrue IMO) but when people say that Japaneses tanks aren’t real tanks yeah that’s generally correct.
Yep, you got the BR right. That’s the Panzer 4 ausf G. You can tell it because it doesn’t have the turret (4J) or side (4H) armor panels, and the muzzle break isn’t rounded like the Panzer 4 F2’s.
But yeah, it really is laughable just how terrible Japanese BR1 tanks are. Even past BR1 I quite dislike using most Japanese tanks.
HO-I is probably the best one for BR1-2 matches, it reloads fast but is weak against Sherman and T34s in BR2
Also, about japanese tanks, why exactly did they decide that the Ho-Ri should be limited so that you can’t stick your head out of the commander’s hatch? It’s truly infuriating, especially since the other Japanese BR 4 tanks can’t fully handle the tank-vs-tank role at BR 5.
I only have three Japanese tanks, but the only one I usually use is the boat tank. I don’t use it so much as a tank, but as a troop carrier since it has a crew of seven, so it is almost better suited as an assaulter squad, especially since it is sooooo slooow. I will blast the cap point first, and fire on a tank if one is around, then bale and use it as an assaulter squad.
