@@Faded._i am grinding the normal Type-16 right now. The M735s are good enough for their job. I once killed a Leopard PSO or 2A7 frontally at a distance greater than one kilometer with it once, and not to the lower front plate. It is good at its job. Hopefully I get the type 93 (shell) soon.
i just hope that the type 10s gets their proper transmission at some point. currently ingame its about as mobile as the type 90. but in reality it should accelerate way faste for those that are wondering what the difference is. type 10 uses a CVT transmission that can change through a continuous range of gear ratios. compared to an automatic transmissions that provide a limited number of gear ratios in fixed steps.
Fun fact. The type 10 tank transmission is currently the only cvt transmission ever developed that is considered very reliable. I work on transmissions from time to time and my coworker that was stationed in Japan talked to the Japanese mechanics who sung praises of the trans because when it did break, it was an on field fix, where as even hondas cvt rarely last 75k and when they go it's a total replacement
My coworker witnessed them replace a cvt part from just laying on the open rear deck and taking a few housings apart. He didn't describe it to well so if you know how they used modularity in the design I'd love to learn more

4:43 nope, they nerf the thermal of type 93 so it's the same as the type 81. so unless you play as scout/forward AA there's is no point using type 93 anymore
The whole reason its nerfed is because the type 81 has similar cameras for it optical tracking and they didnt want to buff the 81 so they nerfed the 93. Truly gaijin gigabrain moment
I have a wishlist of Japanese vehicles, starting with Type 10 APS, STC-1/2 (135mm not mounted, but supposed to be?) Type 11 SAM, Chu MPM, STB-6, B78 IFV, Ka-To TD, O-I, Chi Nu Kai, M24 SS-11, Type 74 SPH, Type 74 G+, Chi-Se, Komatsu B78-105, Ta-Ha, SY-60, and a few others. For planes, I think giving the F-1/T-2 Chaff pods, and then gaijin could do its magic and make them chaff/flare pods, then giving them their guided stuff (ASMs). Then the Ki-201, Yokosuka Tenga, G10N, Fuji T-1, F-2A and B, F-15J Kai, Ki-91, S1A Denko, Ki-98, J8M, Kawasaki P-1, P-3J, XF-2A, and a few others that I have forgot. Oh and Fs-T-2 Kai, and 9Ls for the F-1 For helis I have heard they use a MH-60 with hellfires, and apparently I’ve also heard of cancelled plans to mount the OH-1 Ninja with ground attack ordnance.
And with the russia 10.0 line up spam latelly, lots of downtier when i play 11.0, and i love bullying obj 292 with barrel shot wirst thing since they only have a 4.0sec reload
They can introduce the Tan Sam II with the type 11 missile. It's on the same type 73 truck as the type 81 but can also be placed on the Toyota land cruiser like the type 93. The missile just like the type 81 has ir homing for terminal guidance and can be switched to semi active radar like the type 81 but type 11 has better capabilities and better eccm. It was intruded in 2014 so still pretty new but not that new. F2A and B models would be a dream. And although virtually nothing is known about type 10s APS it does have one hopefully more info on how it looks comes out and that can be added the type 96 mpm its an anti tank missile carrier in the toyota land cruiser with the ability to fire from behind cover.

the ype 10 is not an underdog, that thing is a menace. And the AAM3's are underperforming like crazy, they have the same exact model as the 9M, but has a bit reduced drag, so slighter longer range, even though it should pull more and have better range. Not sure if it also had a better seeker, but it might have had in real life
I started playing Japan as my first ever tech tree for ground. I’ve played every air tree in the game except for Japan and Sweden. Japan ground seemed appealing to me because of the Type 93. I bought the Type 16FPS and I sucked at it but I’ve stuck to it and I’ve slowly been getting better. A few more weeks and I should be at top tier. It’s been fun.
Hyped to see this a week after getting to 11.7 Japan. The 11.0 and 11.7 lineups are so much fun with the suspension and 4s reloads. I actually didn't realize how little armor the Type 90s have or how wonky the 10/TKX armor is until seeing a Reddit post the other day. I survive just about as much as in the Swedish Leo 10.3 Leos sometimes. My one gripe is no SACLOS SPAA... the amount of time I spend staring at helicopters praying the stupid IR seeker finds it.... Ive also 100% had that issue with it not firing multiple times.
Japan could get the STC-1, which is basically a Type-90 prototype. But still, I kinda wanna see the Korea subtree. If it's beneficial for the gameplay, Gaijin should do it. Gameplay>Realism
Now that the Type 10’s are in (even with drastically reduced armor) and the AA problem has been fixed, top tier Japan is my favorite to play. I grind for SL in my top tier Japan lineup because I have unboxed so many talismans for them that it’s practically a goldmine. With the Type 10’s hydropneumatic suspension, going hull down in weird spots gets me a TON of kills.
This! Truly help also playing in hull down with Type 90s, i'm using them also on my AMX-10RC, once you embrace the suspension gang you can't let them behind🤣
F-15s rip with a slight breeze above 18ish minutes of fuel. So be aware of that. And taking full internal fuel should be enough for an ARB, so like 20-30m might be enough for a GRB match. Love the videos! Just some tips.
It would make sense if the type 90 maybe had spall liners but the type 10/ tkx shouldn't because Japan was really thinking of it's weight keeping it under 50 tons. That's due to the roads and bridges in Japan wouldn't be able to support it.
The only thing japan is missing are guided bombs and there are pictures of an F-4EJ Kai with these bombs (not to be confused with that JDAM picture since those were a mockup for testing) but even theres is proof of them being loaded in T-2s and F-1s
Justin!!!! Hey I just wanna say I ran into you a second time😂 you were playing the Vilkas but i was playing against you as USA. But other then that I was tryna get your attention but I forgot you have chat off😅😭 so I just wanna say i love encountering you, it’s fun and awesome to have you either as a teammate or an enemy❤️ P.S. if I remember this was a couple weeks ago when I encountered you a 2nd time, but I’m also the same guy who was that T 80 U on Sweden in one of your videos about the 122A. Anyways much love man keep up the awesome content❤️💯
I think the best experience i got from Japan were at (old) 9.0 with the Type 16 and Type 74, (old) 8.3 with Type 89 and Type 87 SPAAG, 11.3/11.7 with the Type 10s, and (current) 11.0. The last one, 11.0, was totally a blast with the Type 90s. I thought the grind would be miserable with the HEAT, instead in a bunch of game and thanks to both autoloader and suspensions, i reach the JM33 and start to have a lot of fun, even grab two nukes with both tanks. All their RPs went into the Type 81 (insane AA) and the TKX prototype, which i will buy with the sales and...if all of them are still at that BR, i'm gonna to put talismans on each one. I still think Japan deserve to be played for such moments, like Italy and even France, at some BRs there is so much potential for the players!
As a Japan main, the dozer on the TKX does really help. Since they made it so that the Type 10s have no frontal armor, that, dozer really does help a lot. Also, the fact they upped the BR of the Type 89 is so wrong, especially since they’ve nerfed it more than 10 times. I’m currently grinding France rn though, since Gaijin still refuses to give Japan guided munitions. The T-2 and F-2 both could carry IR guided bombs. Pretty sure the F-15J can carry JDAMs too. I have 2 go to lineups in Japan right now, that being 7.3 and 11.0, as they’re both powerful lineups. One more thing, I don’t understand why they don’t give the AH-64DJP a warning system. Sure, it didn’t have it in real life, but did you know Japan is the only nation that services stingers on its Apaches? That means, literally no other Apache in game should get stingers (except maybe America), yet they do. So I can only hope they give the DJP a warning system one day.
I prefer the type 90 over the type 10. Type 90 is simply more mobile and doesn't lose a lot of speed when slightly turning. Sure there's a huge difference between the rounds but that doesn't matter if you're still aiming on weak spots on certain mbts.
The type 93 is not a very functional vehicle but that’s not why you should use it. It’s so funny to zip around the map and hit jumps in front of people. One of the most fun vehicles in the game
I only started the japanese tree that I'm grinding with my friend only. At first, it was one of the countries that I was least attracted to because I was never crazy about their WWII vehicles and didn't know much about their postwar vehicles. But having played them up to the 3.3/3.7 line up, I have to say that they're a whole lot of fun. Your armor isn't that great, but the mobility is okay and the firepower works. Some of their tanks have really amazing gun depression (-10 degrees!) which is so good to have for me as a soviet main! It's not an easy country, but it's a lot of fun for a somewhat experienced player. I would advise people to try Japan as their second or third country. They kind of need some finesse and map knowledge to make them work, but once you do, they are rewarding to play. With their WWII vehicles, outside the numerous derp guns that they get, you need to know where to shoot since they have weak penetration values though. It's also a pretty short tech tree, so you aren't stuck in it for a long time. As an additional advantage, the average japanese player tends to be of a higher skill level than your average WT player, so you aren't stuck with braindead players that ruin your game experience like some certain countries like Germa... *cough* and USA *cough*! :D Conclusion, they're really worth trying.
Japanese modern tanks kinda suffer due to their real life doctrine, very much like their ww2 designs (which were designed to be smaller and lighter so they could be used in forest and be transported by landing craft). Their modern tanks are designed as basically ambush vehicles, they would set up in a position where they would hide themselves and use their hydropneumatic suspension to achieve greater flexibility in positions in hills which Japan has a lot of. This means their tanks are typically designed with emphasis on not being shot at all rather than most other countries which have armor mostly as a backup. And this effects how they play in war thunder specially bc of how map dependent they can be, and gaijin doesn’t have the best map creation.
I have so many people I’m subscribed to and that I don’t watch but recently I’ve been watching you and I regret not watching you earlier when I first subscribed
im a japan main and top tier feels so much fun, but it would be nice if gaijin stop bullying everything and maybe consider giving japan some more love instead of non stop nerfing
i still enjoy the Type90s more, 11.0 so a lot more downtiers, and less uptiers since a lot of the 11.7 bracket gets sucked into 12.3-12.7 by people bringing jets, so uptiers are a lot less common, and when they do happen, they are still pretty decent with how speedy type90s are. That and the transmission of the type 10 hasn't been fixed, since they are RECORDED to accelerate faster than the type90s, and while are a lot better than in release, they are still lacking behind the type90s, and lose more speed while turning.
tfw you get ammo racked then survived with the Type10/90 /TKX... burnt out ammo rack... u go to cap point to refill yet the first stage rack takes years to fill up
>Type 90 is underperforming; Oh really? 4.0s reload doesn't think so; >No armor; You get excellent mobility; >Vertical guidance; Hydraulic adjustable suspension; >Brings 40m of fuel + fuel tank; >Time for AAMs; >Proceeds to shoot down an Su-25K with AIM-7M; >Rips his wing (Wonder why, maybe maneuvering in thick atmosphere at mach 1.3 with a full tank isn't good for your wings?);
Can confirm. I had a miserable time to finish the SEPv2 research at 11.0, but doing the same for the TKX (P) and Type 81 went as smooth as butter. I thought i would waste my time and sanity on the Type 90s, instead i've used them with great results and fun (plus 2 nukes, one as a clutch against a whole "Allied" team...it was a great "Uno Reverse Card" as someone said in the chat that day🤣🤣🤣)
Also can confirm. The first nuke I ever dropped was with Japan 11.0, and I continue to do so every now and then. The Type 90s and Type 10(P) are really good, but the Type 81 does really help get those final few SP sometimes.
If there's two different Japanese tanks I wish that were in the game, those are the Type 4 Ke-Nu (A Ha-Go with the turret & 57mm gun of the original Chi-Ha) and the Type 4 Ho-To (A Ha-Go made into a casemate SPG, and armed with 120mm Type 38 howitzer). Or even the Type 5 Ho-Ru (A Ha-Go made into a Hetzer style TD, and armed with the 47mm Type 1 tank gun), as something for uniqueness, albeit a bit of a stretch. Edit: 11:24 The little Maho Nishizumi on the bottom right corner of the gunner sight, Justin you are a true gigachad.
I pretty much just got the Type 10 and TKX, I mostly take only 16 rounds, how much do you notice with getting ammoracked if you take 18 or 20 rounds? Also Justin, the F-2 (Viper Zero) never carried GBU's nor Mav's. It only has JDAM's which can only be dropped against static targets, there is a single F-2 which got modified to carry the Sniper Targetting pod so it can drop LJDAM's (Laser guided JDAM) and those however can be used against moving targets. So we have to hope that we get South Korea as a subtree which do actually have Mavericks on their (K)F-16's
As a Japan main, I'm rlly happy the Type 10s are getting some love ❤
4 sec reload do be crazy

would love to see a full 8.3 south African 🇿🇦 line up. ZT-3A2, ZA-35, rooikat and MK1 olifant.+one random cas plane.
I like this idea, so a solid maybe
Love the Japanese top tier. Tkx is fun
The only thing japan is missing are guided bombs and there are pictures of an F-4EJ Kai with these bombs (not to be confused with that JDAM picture since those were a mockup for testing) but even theres is proof of them being loaded in T-2s and F-1s
Every time I play other top tiers, I want to go back to Japanese one! Its so fun running around with 4s reload
Arguably the best tank in the game!
I have to say 10 vehciles in a lineup is insane, 6 should have been the max 2 tanks, 1 ifv, 1, sam, 1 helicopter, 1 jet
i just love type 10s design so much
Justin!!!! Hey I just wanna say I ran into you a second time😂 you were playing the Vilkas but i was playing against you as USA. But other then that I was tryna get your attention but I forgot you have chat off😅😭 so I just wanna say i love encountering you, it’s fun and awesome to have you either as a teammate or an enemy❤️ P.S. if I remember this was a couple weeks ago when I encountered you a 2nd time, but I’m also the same guy who was that T 80 U on Sweden in one of your videos about the 122A. Anyways much love man keep up the awesome content❤️💯
Tried playing top tier. The pain of being useless and enemy charging you without anywhere to run when breach gets taken out I will never recover from
Japan main here
Thx for the video, Justin ❤
YESS JAPAN REVIEW I been waiting for it thanks Justin :D
I think the best experience i got from Japan were at (old) 9.0 with the Type 16 and Type 74, (old) 8.3 with Type 89 and Type 87 SPAAG, 11.3/11.7 with the Type 10s, and (current) 11.0.
The last one, 11.0, was totally a blast with the Type 90s. I thought the grind would be miserable with the HEAT, instead in a bunch of game and thanks to both autoloader and suspensions, i reach the JM33 and start to have a lot of fun, even grab two nukes with both tanks.
All their RPs went into the Type 81 (insane AA) and the TKX prototype, which i will buy with the sales and...if all of them are still at that BR, i'm gonna to put talismans on each one.
I still think Japan deserve to be played for such moments, like Italy and even France, at some BRs there is so much potential for the players!
As a Japan main who is grinding naval Japan, very happy
Hey, what's up man, thanks for the video during my pause. ❤
The pain experienced during the grind payed off as soon i reached top tier japan
Got his gun? U serious? Broke his PIPE is the only correct way to say it. xD 12:05
justin can you please do like full tech tree review for some nations
i love the type 10 with all my heart, favorite top tier tank period
As a Japan main, the dozer on the TKX does really help. Since they made it so that the Type 10s have no frontal armor, that, dozer really does help a lot. Also, the fact they upped the BR of the Type 89 is so wrong, especially since they’ve nerfed it more than 10 times. I’m currently grinding France rn though, since Gaijin still refuses to give Japan guided munitions. The T-2 and F-2 both could carry IR guided bombs. Pretty sure the F-15J can carry JDAMs too. I have 2 go to lineups in Japan right now, that being 7.3 and 11.0, as they’re both powerful lineups.
One more thing, I don’t understand why they don’t give the AH-64DJP a warning system. Sure, it didn’t have it in real life, but did you know Japan is the only nation that services stingers on its Apaches? That means, literally no other Apache in game should get stingers (except maybe America), yet they do. So I can only hope they give the DJP a warning system one day.
I prefer the type 90 over the type 10. Type 90 is simply more mobile and doesn't lose a lot of speed when slightly turning. Sure there's a huge difference between the rounds but that doesn't matter if you're still aiming on weak spots on certain mbts.
The type 93 is not a very functional vehicle but that’s not why you should use it. It’s so funny to zip around the map and hit jumps in front of people. One of the most fun vehicles in the game
Don’t forget that suspension will save lives
31:01 I think Gaijin should add the Southeast Asian tree with countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, and Vietnam inside.
You are making quality content all the time, I hope you reach 100k this year
Love From Thailand, Justin
They won’t get any later version of the F-16, they will get the F-2 though but I don’t think Japan has ever equipped them with any Paveways
I mean i recently got into British 11.3 and I'm really enjoying it
I only started the japanese tree that I'm grinding with my friend only. At first, it was one of the countries that I was least attracted to because I was never crazy about their WWII vehicles and didn't know much about their postwar vehicles. But having played them up to the 3.3/3.7 line up, I have to say that they're a whole lot of fun. Your armor isn't that great, but the mobility is okay and the firepower works. Some of their tanks have really amazing gun depression (-10 degrees!) which is so good to have for me as a soviet main!
It's not an easy country, but it's a lot of fun for a somewhat experienced player. I would advise people to try Japan as their second or third country. They kind of need some finesse and map knowledge to make them work, but once you do, they are rewarding to play. With their WWII vehicles, outside the numerous derp guns that they get, you need to know where to shoot since they have weak penetration values though. It's also a pretty short tech tree, so you aren't stuck in it for a long time.
As an additional advantage, the average japanese player tends to be of a higher skill level than your average WT player, so you aren't stuck with braindead players that ruin your game experience like some certain countries like Germa... *cough* and USA *cough*! :D
Conclusion, they're really worth trying.
Japanese modern tanks kinda suffer due to their real life doctrine, very much like their ww2 designs (which were designed to be smaller and lighter so they could be used in forest and be transported by landing craft). Their modern tanks are designed as basically ambush vehicles, they would set up in a position where they would hide themselves and use their hydropneumatic suspension to achieve greater flexibility in positions in hills which Japan has a lot of.
This means their tanks are typically designed with emphasis on not being shot at all rather than most other countries which have armor mostly as a backup. And this effects how they play in war thunder specially bc of how map dependent they can be, and gaijin doesn’t have the best map creation.
my guy violated the same guy 4 times
I have so many people I’m subscribed to and that I don’t watch but recently I’ve been watching you and I regret not watching you earlier when I first subscribed
in the type 90 game you killed that leo 2 (sankara) 2 times thn in the pt16 and the flarakrad he got atleast 4/6 deaths from you
Japan TT mbts are dangerous. I like them and maybe some day will research that tree
The Mitsubishi f-2 doesn't carry GBUs, japan has adopted the JDAMs but those arent represented in war thunder sadly
JSDF just bought more Type 10's, so they have nothing in the pipline it seems.
PLEASE revisit the 4 second reload Leopard!
im a japan main and top tier feels so much fun, but it would be nice if gaijin stop bullying everything and maybe consider giving japan some more love instead of non stop nerfing
aint no way you killed that guy in the type-90 4 or 5 times
It kills me to see justin bring out max fuel AND a fuel tank when hes playing purely CAP. 😂
14:10 what is the mav doing? 😂
i still enjoy the Type90s more, 11.0 so a lot more downtiers, and less uptiers since a lot of the 11.7 bracket gets sucked into 12.3-12.7 by people bringing jets, so uptiers are a lot less common, and when they do happen, they are still pretty decent with how speedy type90s are.
That and the transmission of the type 10 hasn't been fixed, since they are RECORDED to accelerate faster than the type90s, and while are a lot better than in release, they are still lacking behind the type90s, and lose more speed while turning.
17:37 epic laugh and moment
Kind sir, pls share your Sound setting. Because damn i can hear where the enemy clearly just from your vid and Im amaze.
Justin!! the AAM-3 is its own Japanese design, it's not an Aim-9M! (also gets 40G overload over the Aim-9M's 30G overload)
My primary nation is Japan. I'm an Air player. Only level 57, GE and Fuji'ed to the top. Little experience or research. I suck lol.
tfw you get ammo racked then survived with the Type10/90 /TKX... burnt out ammo rack... u go to cap point to refill yet the first stage rack takes years to fill up
>Type 90 is underperforming;
Oh really? 4.0s reload doesn't think so;
>No armor;
You get excellent mobility;
>Vertical guidance;
Hydraulic adjustable suspension;
>Brings 40m of fuel + fuel tank;
>Time for AAMs;
>Proceeds to shoot down an Su-25K with AIM-7M;
>Rips his wing (Wonder why, maybe maneuvering in thick atmosphere at mach 1.3 with a full tank isn't good for your wings?);
Justin you killed the same guy in the type 90 clip 5 times 😭
I feel genuinely bad now.. o.o
I'd say the reason I like Japan so much is that its fun and small
Yea thats true, its nice to have a few vehicles. After a long grind with Sweden to get rank 6, i got rank 4 japan in 2 days
Every time a CC makes a video the background vehicle is having a stroke
Me who don't play top tier, have no top tier vehicles and am, at best, interested on early cold war:
Interesting
i want you to do a video on the state of italy top tier (its not great but as a italy main it would be fun to see)
the amount of sl is outragous
love your videos. can you do a video of the ztz96 p Chinese 10.0 tank
playing at 10.7 i seem to see 11.0 japan quite a bit, glad when theyre on my team. day 25 of asking Justin to play the HKP9
Those poor helicopter guys.. 😂 take off annnd dead 🤣😮💨
I like Japan 11.0 the most Tbh. Think that’s where they are the strongest.
Can confirm.
I had a miserable time to finish the SEPv2 research at 11.0, but doing the same for the TKX (P) and Type 81 went as smooth as butter.
I thought i would waste my time and sanity on the Type 90s, instead i've used them with great results and fun (plus 2 nukes, one as a clutch against a whole "Allied" team...it was a great "Uno Reverse Card" as someone said in the chat that day🤣🤣🤣)
Also can confirm. The first nuke I ever dropped was with Japan 11.0, and I continue to do so every now and then. The Type 90s and Type 10(P) are really good, but the Type 81 does really help get those final few SP sometimes.
Do you think Italy will get the Leopard 2A7 HU and maby the Leopard 2A8 IT in a distant future?
If there's two different Japanese tanks I wish that were in the game, those are the Type 4 Ke-Nu (A Ha-Go with the turret & 57mm gun of the original Chi-Ha) and the Type 4 Ho-To (A Ha-Go made into a casemate SPG, and armed with 120mm Type 38 howitzer). Or even the Type 5 Ho-Ru (A Ha-Go made into a Hetzer style TD, and armed with the 47mm Type 1 tank gun), as something for uniqueness, albeit a bit of a stretch.
Edit: 11:24 The little Maho Nishizumi on the bottom right corner of the gunner sight, Justin you are a true gigachad.
Please a video on Israeli Magach 6b gal which is squadron vehicle or Swedish Ikv 91
Japan top tier ground is a lot of fun. Sad you have no CAS options tho
I pretty much just got the Type 10 and TKX, I mostly take only 16 rounds, how much do you notice with getting ammoracked if you take 18 or 20 rounds?
Also Justin, the F-2 (Viper Zero) never carried GBU's nor Mav's. It only has JDAM's which can only be dropped against static targets, there is a single F-2 which got modified to carry the Sniper Targetting pod so it can drop LJDAM's (Laser guided JDAM) and those however can be used against moving targets.
So we have to hope that we get South Korea as a subtree which do actually have Mavericks on their (K)F-16's
How fair, leopard 2a4 vs this
I will sub to your second channel just becaus You deserve it
Can you please make a Italian top tier video soon?
i love the type 10
