1. Shame there’s nothing majorly new (already seen the “chinese”chi-ha) was hoping to see the tier 6-8 as they are the least known to me.

   Anyways keep it up cant wait for the Japanese tanks.

   • Yeah, I find all these pre WWII tank models not very appealing. I usually skip them anyways.

     • IDK, they’re sorta cute in their often dreadfully misguided creativity and haphazard working around all kinds of limitations. Gives them a bit more personality than the later stuff which all tends to look vaguely similar due to the efficient fundamentals having been worked out and streamlined.

       • I agree, it’s very interesting to watch the first few generations of a technology play out before all the questions have been answered.

         • Yea, like that T-35 russian tank…

           • The hilariously impractical “land battleships” are very much a case in point.

2. Well, it seems like the tier 4 medium has a beefier gun than the tier 3… which is actually somewhat surprising, because the Japanese Type 1 47mm gun [assuming it has similar stats as the Chinese incarnation] would have been a fine weapon on a tier 4 medium in of itself.

   …but I’m very happy to see that it might end up getting good firepower.

   • Somebody on the forum think’s it’s the experimental 57mm the Japanese tested. It was apparently based off of the British 6-Pdr.

     • Incorrect

       • IDK if I remember correctly, but I know that many Japanese tank guns are based AT or naval guns that used in IJA/IJN…

       • Why don’t you kindly tell us what it is then, you rancid gash?

       • What is it then? Looks too small to be a 75mm gun.

         • Long barreled 47mm would not surprise me.

       • Incorrect yet you are incapable of telling us why. You kimchi

         • Its a high velocity 47mm gun… i think.

3. Hope to see an O-I render on here soon. :D

   • Heavies will not come this year

4. it looks like tier 10′s mantlet will be mostly immune to HEAT, it has a very interesting armor composition.

   You mean STB-1?

   • I recall Dai mentioning something in the vicinity of 432mm effective armor

     • Locate ALL the hull-down places!

5. Can’t wait to see the STB-1. One of the things that will keep me playing this game for sure, I wanted a medium with a good turret and depression whilst having a good alpha/DPM and NOT be an autoloader for some time now. I’m a very big fan of the t62a and want something that might be easier to play, oh and camo value also has to be good and being smaller than the t62a, that too is very interesting indeed. Please show us more pics of higher tiers if you can SS, but thanks for what you’ve already done.

   • i thought the STB has an autoloader L7A1

     • Not an autoloader – a load assist.

       • The STB 1 is the prototype of the type 74 tank. This tank is suppose to be on par with the leopard 1 and the patton… i think.

   • ….so you want a grossly OP tank it what you’re saying

     • What your asking for will make the tank very OP lol oh and the t62a will never be worst than the jap tier 10 trust me

6. Are those tanks in top configuration?

7. Yeah I was hoping to see some high tiers!

8. After playing high tiers its great to go back and play low tiers… no grind required so just fun :-) and the chinese chi ha owns ;-) so I look forward to the Japanese :-)

9. From what I understand the japanese tanks will have meh mobillity, meh-to-bad armor, meh-to-high pen and high alpha.

   • Thats correct. Of course, the last tank of the line has to betray it’s predecessors in gameplay. Something similar happened to the english TD line. And the german one.

10. >Mantlet will be mostly immune to HEAT

    That what you were asking about yesterday, Dai?
