USA is the new and better Germany. So better move while you still can and grind Axis bots with me and other USA and USSR fanatics.

Instead of adding an interceptor as an attacker aircraft you could have added a late Zero or Shinden kai variant that could carry rockets or multiple smaller bombs. Also, you can always add the B7A2 which can carry 1 800kg bomb or 2 x 250kg + 4 x 50kg bombs or medium bomber (G4M) with multiple 250kg bomb like most factions have.

Is this the shell that could pierce the Sherman from the front? The old War Thunder forum has closed, there was information on this shell…

They stole out cosmetics and ran away for many months. Acting like they weren’t there.

If Toku Kou AP was added for Chi-Nu and AP performance was accurate

The Chi-Nu would penetrate the sherman hull frontally up to 600m

Toku Kou AP (6.64kg at 683m/s) with correct AP performance
Penetration:
118mm @ 0m at 0 °
93mm @ 0m at 30 °
52mm @ 0m at 60 °


Currently in War Thunder… the Chi-Nu’s Type 1 shell has
102mm @ 0m at 0 °
82mm @ 0m at 30 °
41mm @ 0m at 60 °


This would be 6% buff at 0 degrees
This would be 13.4% buff at 30 degrees
This would be 27% buff at 60 degrees

CHINU II should be BR3, BR4 is too high, it can’t fight against M4A3E2. To be honest, I need to aim very carefully when using CHI-RI against M4A3E2 in War Thunder

Thank You !

Not a lot of new stuff, it is what it is, progress is slow.

But guys. Dudes. Mi Chicos.
Really now.

At least try it for a week: BR 5 gets it’s own separate and independent bracket. Please.

I know the player numbers might be funky, i know it might mess up BR III, but at least try it.

US is not getting much a resin of an existing gun at br5 no one asked for
And a tank
Japan that needs it more than anyone is getting a tank and a plane both according to the community should be br3
There are still massive holes that need to be filled
US br4 everything
Japanese just about every br every category
Germany um with Italian gear far less but needs a br3 sa sniper
Germany can eat crow because it has one of the fullest tech trees even removing near copy paste panzers fw190s. Yeah they could use more rifles like everyone and some mg variety.
But soviet’s and Germany have easily the most complete and carried tech trees
US nothing but Thompson’s br345 excluding the hyde44 everyone loves

Maybe now they move the 50 round in game tommy to BR IV at least and the other Thompsons that are BR IV to BR III .

Good additions overall. I just feel like both the US and Japan desperately need a BR 4 rifle. Is this a possibility in the near future?

YES! The M1921/28 and the M1 have no place in BR IV
