Senpai, thank you so much for doing this additional research. If you can get WarGaming to use this data to upgrade the Chi-Ri ingame, it would make the Chi-Ri so much more enjoyable to play. Twelve percent less weight would translate into a nice HP per ton improvement! Oh geez, it would be able to get into position and then relocate so much quicker, and would have better penetration which would combine to make peekaboo shooting that much more viable. Additionally, the better pen might also result in better sniping at maximum range. I can’t wait! So glad I’ve kept it in my garage!

And thank you for all the work you’ve done researching Japanese tank destroyers for the intention of a WoT Japanese TD line. I can’t wait to see how it turns out, and have the chance to play them.

Is there any chance a Type 89 Otsu could be added as a Japanese premium heavy?

One last question, regarding WW2 era Japanese tank camouflage: There’s a camo pattern I really want for my Japanese tanks. It has a few yellow lines running in a wavy disruptive pattern over the hull/turret to break up the vehicle lines.

Is this pattern with the bright yellow wavy demarcation line historically accurate? Is there anyway you can get WarGaming to add it to the camouflage options for Japanese tanks? I really like the way it looks. Very distinctive.

Thank you so much for everything you’ve done to add Japanese armored vehicles to WoT. I never thought I’d get the chance to play a Chi-To, Chi-Nu, Chi-Ha or a Chi-Ri. I’m very happy that you made it possible.
