Well IMHO Daigensui got to hyped on FTR.

I can remember what she said about japanese line before it was released and it was pretty deferent from what japanese tanks became in WoT.

So, japanese pride aside, the japanese tank school is… well … medicore.
For Tier 10 only late 70s tank designs are competitive.
For example T-62A was produced till 1975. STB-1 production just started in 1975, red army had T-72 at that point. So just think about it.

And the line brought nothing new to the game. STB-1 became copycat from Leopard1. To discuss the difference between STB-1 and Leo1 is the same as to discuss the difference between T-62A and Obj. 140, IMHO.

So what new feature will add the japanese TD line gameplaywise to WoT?

What will/might be the characteristic feature of the japanese TD line, or japanese TDs in common?

Huge sizes -> bad cammo, easy target

no armor -> well you know …

open toped -> first who arty will focus on

fast -> not really necessery for a huge TD

medicore guns -> From the article it seems to be good penetration, low alpha balanced with good dpm

with good gun angles -> you will have to use them wisely to survive on the battlefield with this barn

LOL “mother of japanses tanks”

Let’s not overblow a little research, fact is daigensui is still a complete wot noob and has nothing to do with balancing.

Just from the info anyone can come to the conclusion that these “TDs” are gonna suck without a whole lot of liberty taken. Not to mention it’s only 4 candidates here.

Soooo basically a TD line with good to very good DPM (?), mediocre accuracy, open top, good vision, no armor, not really good camo and good depression? They could work as decent support TD I guess. Every SPG already penetrates Japanese medium easily anyway, so I think open top would be no different? Trading that nonexistent armor with more gun sounds like a good idea for me compared to medium line(which are for some reason clicked well with me, no idea how I could have good WR in them)

My god, do you even understand english properly ? I can understand you don’t know who Daigensui is, I can understand you try to prove something by arguing with Woras but…. srsly….
You are very ignorant, you didn’t noticed it’s a PART of a series of articles so there’s more to come about japanese TD’s

More so, just because YOU don’t see candidates doesn’t mean there aren’t. There are more sources than google my friend. There are people like Daigensui who dig those sources personally.

More importantly, you seem to know what WG thinks, so you’re either an insider or you have the gift of telepathy. I don’t know what’s better considering I’d kill to know when will come muh chinese TDs

Bro, we come here for fun, pls don’t shitpost next time like if you really were someone important.

Oh and have a nice day :)
