That is because not even stronk wg is allowed to run a business in China. Only a local company is allowed to do that by law – which ss also explained is the reason for the wrong flags…

notice that WG does not have a Chinese branch. WoT in China is run by a 3rd party company. Also explains why their homepage is not similar to the usual WoT website, and that they use almost diffrent emblems and country name (china being the only one with its red star and yellow outline emblem).

The information on Japanese tanks only really came into existence through the tireless research conducted by SoukouDragon and Daigensui. The Chinese branch of WG already did research of the Chinese line, which was originally going to be Chinese WoT exclusive, however WG RU decided it was good enough for release to everyone.

Japanese tanks are certainly very interesting an unique. Kinda makes me wonder why they introduced the chinese ones first…not that they dont have their unique side, but still…

The first tank in the article is the Type 87, is it not? Even so, it looks much like the T-28…except very, VERY slow…

Because he was involved in development, but by the 1940′s Mitsubishi was driving the development, with most of the blueprints and such being in the hands of Mitsubishi-related individuals.

Nice, but how can it be so diffucult to find information on these tanks as he wrote about them? as there were several succesful books, they must be available anytime..
Ofc, Idk the amount of books and how many tanks he wrote about.

He also had a hand on the development of JGSDF tanks as executive director of the Japan Association of Defense Industry until his death in 1990. Basically, every single vehicle in the WoT Japanese tree has his handprint on it.
