  • The first half of the XX century was the start of the golden age of armour. After getting a taste of what tanks are capable of on the battlefields of WW1, great nations of the world were all pouring resources into their nascent tank industries, experimenting with all sorts of layouts and weapons... and the Empire of Japan was one of the nations keen on developing their own tanks.

    Japanese tanks, much like Swedish tanks, are allergic to having armor. The differences is, the Japanese don't know they're un-armored so they built them as big as houses.

      Entirely wrong.
      Japanese soil is soft, giving a tank more than the armor then they needed to maneuver around the soft Japanese soil. Would lead to these tanks LITERALLY bogging down(sinking into the dirt) because they were too heavy. This is why If a Tiger I was to come to Japan it would be way too heavy to even drive through Japanese soft soil.

    My appreciation for the Japanese tech tree comes in the form of, as the gamer world says, 'git gud'. They're almost always the underdogs in any fight, with layouts that tend to make the crew highly susceptible to being wiped out in a single hit, generally longer reloads than opponents with similar firepower, and significantly less effective armor in most circumstances. Soldiering through this tech tree forced me to learn to outmaneuver, out-think, and learn to make suspension-based shots on the move, as well as needing to rapidly learn the maps themselves, where to hit targets, and how to make as innocuous a target of myself as possible. All these lessons meant that, the first time I used a stock Sherman tank with its stabilizer, generally reliable gun and armor and decent gun, I took home seventeen kills for the loss of one crewman.
    The short version: If you play Japan, you'll learn to respect the strengths of your opponents, to anticipate being knocked out in a single hit, and generally speaking you will find yourself performing far better when you jump into more superior vehicles in other tech trees with the skills and tactics you learned here. The Japanese tech tree is not beginner friendly, but it's still the place I'd recommend beginners to start, because you'll learn so much more about how to play from them than the Shermans, KV-1s and Tigers that basically hold your hand for you. Dark Souls is hard, yes, but you emerge from it victorious and all the more skilled at the end because of that difficulty; the same goes for the Japanese tanks.

    • @kenny.-.9087
      @kenny.-.9087 3 года назад +46

      Yes. I originally played American tanks and stopped at rank 6.0 br because it was so hard. Then I played Japan for a year, struggled, but learned, and now I’m at 9.7. American tanks are so simple and easy to use now, and I get my kills and survive really easily by using the skills I learned with Japan. And for that, I am thankful to be a far more better player than I was.
      It makes me mad when people say “Germany suffers” and blames the tanks. No, the players are just bad because they rely on the tanks instead of their own skills to succeed.

    Japanese tank development was surprisingly advanced during the interwar period, sporting some of the most successful designs of that period. Once WW2 began however, the post-Nonmonhan era Japanese army budget for steel and the refocused efforts into the “southern strike” doctrine meant the IJA’s armoured developments were amputated. Japanese armour legacy is the consequence of early potential that was cut short by war demands and limited resources.

  • @rowiek7668
    @rowiek7668 3 года назад +96

    The japanese armour is correct from a historical point of view, but the Br's for most tanks in the japanese tech-tree are to high in my opinion. I've grinded the japanese tanks untill the Type-90. The Br's are a mess when it comes to japanese tanks, most of the tanks should be lowered from a Br-point of view. Maybe a "sub-nation" (like south Afrika for brittain) could help Japan to be more interesting for players. All with all: the japanese tech-tree is fun but boring, you have no armour, no speed but a some-what decent gun. If you want to have a playstyle that is sitting in the corner of the map, hoping you won't get killed by a machine gun; take Japan. All with all, fun to play, but sometimes really frustrating and boring.

    Japanese tanks are underrated and not bad

  • @thezestylime0989
    @thezestylime0989 2 года назад +3

    Japanese tanks while not the best at their brs, force you to learn how to play the game. Map positions, enemy armor layouts, when it's safe to move, etc...
    That being said I love them! The Chi Ri being one of my favorites in the whole game, the autoloader and mobility along with solid firepower allow you to quickly dispatch enemies you've flanked.

    I play the Japanese tech tree as my main since I'm very interested with the Type 90. At first it was really hard since they are not as strong compared to other nations. However when you get used to and know how to play them, they're really good. Plus since its quite hard to play, it thought me to be more careful, be wise on how I go about the battlefield. I do have to note that the Japanese ground forces do not have a comprehensive line up per match, so you have to arrange and use what you have. All in all its not super good or super bad, a challenging nation to play but when done right it is worthwhile, at least for me. Currently at rank V and grinding for Type 74.

    Certainly feel like that explains a lot, since I always feel a step behind on my enemies and always feel like I have to outhink my opponents over a straight front engagement. Though I'm more impressed that the ones I've been leaning towards as saying "This tank is good" are also tanks the Japanese military were feeling like they were on the right track with, so historical accuracy with unit capabilities, that's a bit more next level to me.

  • @fotppd1475
    @fotppd1475 2 года назад

    too underrated is the answer.
    sure its not tough. in my experience most of the time one stops you from moving,especialy in the open it tends to be time to commit seppuku.
    but when YOU end up striking first it is usually the same result as a katana slicing a cherry blossom.
    that is a good reason to play it out of the enemy sight until they are engaged with your team mates or don't see you at all.
    there was this one time i was lucky enough to be in a point with lots of rocks where the enemy could not see me from a distance using the Chi-He if i remember correctly (if not it is one of the same category in Japanese the tech tree.) the result was me see the enemy first an with my cannon closer to them and got kill after kill like this.
    as a sign note i adore the APHE shells.

    From my experience, it's certainly a very fustrating tech tree to play. Your engine is like lawnmower, your armor is rice paper, and your cannons are a peashooter. Rank I is manageable, but Rank II to IV is utter hell to advance, especially when you have players taking potshots at you 800m+ away with you having no hopes to fire back. Urban maps also provides you no cover to speak of.

I literally waste alot of lions purchasing vehicles I never play with just to get to the ones I want to play with. Can you make it where we don't have to purchase previous vehicles just to get to the vehicles we want. Can we research them, not purchase it and move on to the vehicles I battle and save lions for instead. This would save players time and money.

    Please dear god add the 120mm APHE "anti-submarine" round for the Chi-Ha short gun. It desperately needs it to be any actual use in rank 2. Especially since most of the other rank 2 vehicles are at 2.3, meaning you'll get a full up-tier to 3.3 everytime you want to use it. And even making a 1.7 lineup gets you a 2.7 battle against 105 Shermans'. It is known that the crews were provided, though not all of them, with a small amount of these rounds. You could implement them in the same way you do certain ammo belts and only allow the player to bring a few into battle. And it would help the tank out tremendously for rank 2 Japanese tech tree
