@Bruce Grant I agree wholeheartedly with Battleship 14! It's the only war game I ever play. Gaijin has done a great job! I come from a similar era to yourself Bruce mate, and I appreciate the depth of research that has gone into the replication of the vehicles, the weapons, the ammunition and the ballistics. War Thunder has no peer when it comes to vehicular war games. Also, your voice has no peer! My favorite Japanese tank? The Type 98 So-Ki SPAAG. I understand the little thing never actually reached production, but it's a great vehicle in RB, capable of taking down aircraft of higher BR, and it is small enough to go unnoticed and capture objectives when required. These days I live in Cagayan de Oro in Mindanao Philippines. The city was occupied by the Japanese Imperial Army from mid-1942 to mid-1945. War Thunder has also ignited an interest for me in the history of modern warfare.
You bring great honor to your family as a reward you shall receive a pat on the back from Bruce. And a free Abram courteousy of that one big fella that had a reeeee moment on stream.
Kiệt Trần I Bullshit. I just got killed by an m13 in the Chi Ha Kai. My shells bounced off its armor and it kept running circles around me (because the turret turns at like half a degree per minute) and killed my with the 50 cal
Personally, the Ho-I and Chi-He are some of my favorites. Their armor is thick enough at their BR to stop a few shells, while having the firepower to kill anything you'll come across, often in one shot
Why not anymore? It actually penetrates more with the capped shell now. It's actually a joke taking the regular tree chi-nu over it. (cause someone forgot to put the dedicated anti tank shells developed for it)
to be honest, the M24, or as i like to call it the japffee, is my favourite vehicle so far... (my tops being the Ho-Ri prod and ST-A1)(though i just got the HEATFS for the ST-A1, so things might change a bit, but nothing beats the japffee in my book)
I edvice everyone to try out the Chi-Ha Kai and the Chi-He. These 2.0 and 2.3 br tanks are fast, have a good cannon, and high survivability. Since I entered Tier 5 I hadn't really revisited low tiers, but when I did, I had a blast with these two tanks.
The tier 1 russian half track AT gun has animations and the howitzer carriage for the germans has animations for when they get shot. Not sure about tier 3 and above however.
Lower RP for modules of all vehicles tank/plane/ship/helicopter from Rank 4 and above by 40-50%, too much grind for vehicles themselves and then have to play them stock and to get necessary modules to make them combat effective. Remove missile warning system from RB and implement a sound warning to planes that had them IRL.
I'm ok with one of them. They existed? Very likely, but there's very little information over them and adding them it's very likely that will piss off a part of the community and give ptsd to the other.
I'm a Japanese tanker main, and I'm honestly tired of seeing "Give us Japanese heavy tanks" when there is nothing to add other than the O-I, which has hardly any information at all. You're not getting Japanese heavy tanks because none existed. Blame Imperial Japan, not Gaijin.
there is the b1 bias that is like a maus at it's BR , a real monster , and 2 good old fashion usa tanks : the M4A1 and the M10 , but all the other tanks are just painfull
@@isni1946 it was nerfed hard with the update. It's armour is junk and its gun under preforms more even more. Otherwise I'd of agreed, it was awesome at its br, worth the suffering to get. I'd class it as okay to good now
Fun fact: there is a hidden camo for Japanese tanks. Basically it's the heavy tank no 6 default camo but it cannot be purchased for other tanks. That camo is used for devblogs. So basically you create a custom camo template then open the blk and change to jp_camo_olive_kusairo* in the blk
Japanese tank tech tree is my least played tree due to difficulty of how to properly play the vehicles. Thank you Brucie for the tips on what they're best used for! Gonna play me some more Japan!
My favorite is the Chi-He, great gun, decent speed, and armor the can hold up some how. I use it as a support tank mainly sniping or holding a capture point and thanks to its quick reload you can dispatch and tank that you can pen very quickly and with some relative ease.
@@josephheuer4540 M3 tends its a hard nut, but it was never been a big issue. the real trouble makers are the matildas valentines , b1's and t-50 . all of wich prior to the changes could be dealt somewhat reliably at close ranges. those 15mm (just checked) that lost really marked the difference.
gaijin should give the japanese panther and the chi-se panther at 5.7 chi-se at 5.7 or 6.0 also fix the chi-ri's autoloader system its screwed right now
question: because if you only have 2 crew members and the gunner is killed, the tank is automatically replenished by the gunner, when you could move the tank to a safe area to replace the gunner since the driver is still alive?
@@lakeside123Pero si tengo un reabastecimiento adicional para la tripulación, me parece ilógico que el tanque permanezca inmóvil durante 10 segundos en los que se restaura el artillero.

I don't get it. I hated the stb so so much. I like the Ho-Ri production, chi-ri, and chi-he and chi-he chi-ha short. I would rather play type-61 over that tank. Type-90 is more enjoyable because you can pen the ufp of all the Soviet tanks and go straight through the fuel tank rack, crew, and engine with the apfsds
@@Mit852 trust me, i felt the same way for a long time, once the stb is aced tho, it becomes a beast. the heat and the mobility at 7.7 is just so strong
The Chi-Ri can also "Rapid Fire" by switching between guns. (Or, if you map different keys to different guns.) Thus fire the little hull gun between shots of the larger turret guns. You can also use the hull gun while the main gun reloads, and queues up another round behind it. I really like dual-caliber tanks like this, because you don't have to waste shots on soft skin targets, or switch rounds during the reload. So, in a target rich environment (Preferably with some cover,) you can take out that SPAA, and still have the main gun for that Medium tank standing next to it, or vice versa. Complicated inputs, but more efficient, because you don't have to fumble through the reload, while they're shooting back at you.
My favourite tank in Japan might be the Chi-To, very good for long range attacks with great penetration for it's br, I have been able to take out even a kv-1 from a long distance at it's turret and even side. But not only that, I like how Japan tries doing the multi turret guns on tanks for combat like the Chi-Ri. If it is possible to get more of Japan's mind game tanks into the game, either the heavy tanks I keep asking or medium or even light tanks. This can bring a whole new type of gameplay for Japanese players offering deception over victory. Deception over Victory, huh, seems that might be the name of the patch IF you fellas do plan on giving Japan a whole new set of tools and toys for War Thunder.
I just started with Japan, and I must say despite dying here and there, their vehicles are fast and the turret traverse is lovely. After having tried the british for a good while into tier 2, the Japanese were a breath of fresh air. Still trying to master how to use their tier 2 tanks so i don't die so quick. I particularly like the Ke-Ni, the Chi-Ha *standard*, Chi-Ha Kai, and the Chi-He. The I-Go-Ko is nice too, just have to compensate fir uts inability to traverse some slopes, and its long hull can poke out at tge strangest times. Excellent video!
I got all japanese tanks with out the Ho-Ri Produktion and the Type 89 … I say the Type 90 is 1 of the best tanks in the game but the STB-1 is my favourite tank because the BR and this insane gun… I think the japanese have some rly cool tanks :D
The Chi-to and the Chi-to late are underrated by most of the WT community and it makes those 2 tanks very enjoyable to play owo They are my favourite tanks and the game by far.
4 years later and they still hold up. they're basically the sherman equivalent for japan. they're the first tanks for Japan that has actually armored and its such a surprise to be able to take hits. they also punch through a lot of stuff too with their canons. the japanese grind from 2.0 to and up is pure suffering, but once you reach 4.7 you finally make it to the other side and get to stand with the big boys.
Will there ever be some sort to game mode where tanks, aircrafts, helis and ships of all BR fight all together on large map or something like that? Like a real war. I would like to see something like that.
What a great pronunciation!!! I really love how Bruce explains every video!!! Obviously the content is also really great. Please keep up with this nice videos!!!
We need slice of life improvements. e.g when RB is selected the stat cards for planes, some stats such as speed, climb, turn rate, changes color to green denoting its max performance and I like it that those things are being pronounced and would like the same for ships and tank. 2nd: whenever an event or any vehicle that is usable in a battle. (ships e.g) planes can be used but if they are not put in your line up and if we go into battle and come back those aircrafts (all aircrafts) that can be used but weren't, their weapons and ammo change back to default. This is soooooo inconvenient! I hate it when my stuff gets reset they need to fix this issue and its been plaguing for a long time now
I go through the whole tree and like to play all vehicles at least until i spade them. Btw, can you make video's of this type for planes to? From tier 3 and behond i have difficulty mastering the planes.
@@asa0046 Chi-Ha and every tank that uses its hull (Chi-Ha Kai, Ho-Ni, etc) shake while turning making it impossible to aim, Chi-Ri is missing smoke shells for hull gun (one of the reasons it was given a hull gun in the first place), Chi-Ri's assisted loading system doesn't work, Type 90 is using STC's armor and JM33 is underperforming. Virtually every Japanese shell is underperforming according to Japanese and US tests.
The only non-premium tank can help you grinding the early tech tree pretty fast is the Ho-Ri prototype at BR 7.0. The type 89 and stb1 are good as well but the time you can unlock them would be too late.
Hey Bruce a lot of people saw the leopard 2a5 on the dev server, and I was wondering if they will be in the update after 1.87? I’m a German tanker and would love to get my hands on something that slick.
Unlike the Naval and maybe Aviation tree. The Japanese Army tree is one big meme. At least early on. The history weeb energy must be very strong in order to keep playing it seriously.
@@thatoneguynextdoor8794 Haha, sure doesn't look like it. You know USA, Russia, Germany haves several tanks per br, we call that options. Making me a video how to do a lineup with premium vehicles because there's no other way? Japan nobody's dangerous. I want them to be, but...
@@ozmanice7584 There simply aren't enough tanks to make Japan as strong as these nations. The only things that could still be added are a few light/medium tanks at Tier I (like a Chi-Ha with the turret of the Ke-Ni) a few Tier I and II Tank destroyers and 2 more ST-A Tanks. Maybe HE-only firing SPGs at high-Tier and these wouldn't exactly be useful. There are no options for a Heavy-Tank Line, you cant flesh out the SPAA tree to much and at Tier II and III you can't add more tanks either. There are 2 Ho-Ris in game. Guess how many were completed irl. 0. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see more Japanese Tanks but there aren't much more and those they could add are mostly kinda useless
@@thatoneguynextdoor8794 they have now 10 more tanks in the files and some passed to developers just a few months ago. Japan was banned to develop their army so they've send/sold patented files all over the place. They didn't produce war vehicles "in house". USA payed Japan for all damages they've done, including free USA armored vehicles and started a partnership program for development ground/air war machines. I can't remember in what year this happened, around 70s tells something in my memory. I can tell you something for sure, all nations knows, if Japan had been allowed to own an army, they would have the most advanced war tech across the board. USA citizens didn't want to get involved in ww2, Pearl Harbor was a perfect opportunity for the government to convince the public they need to enter the war. Japan attacked them and got paid, war is a very profitable business. They had German vehicles, us vehicles and lots of them.
@@ozmanice7584 I would agree Hell the closest thing to an army for Japan is the JSDF And heck America is allowing them to build it up incase of China Basically we are in another Cold War
In my opinion, I think the overall silhouettes of the Tier 2 and 3 tanks are pretty ahead of their time. I can actually see some similarities between those tanks and a bunch of late WW2 tanks and a bunch of cold war vehicles too.

me: 'coffee'
huh!? Shameful dispray!!
The Chi-to and the Chi-to late are underrated by most of the WT community and it makes those 2 tanks very enjoyable to play owo
They are my favourite tanks and the game by far.
It are very hard to play russian and america bias all way kill me 1km+
4 years later and they still hold up. they're basically the sherman equivalent for japan. they're the first tanks for Japan that has actually armored and its such a surprise to be able to take hits. they also punch through a lot of stuff too with their canons. the japanese grind from 2.0 to and up is pure suffering, but once you reach 4.7 you finally make it to the other side and get to stand with the big boys.
I love the Ho-ro,its broken

Widowmaker,from overwatch
They forgot the banzai trucks.
When it comes out, could you make a small video showcasing the new premiums in update 1.87?
I'd like to spade the STB-1 but the repair cost, HEATFS price and bad lineup makes it really bad
Just use a single spawn for the stb and the repair cost is only 10k
Lake Side >only
I thought that you would mention the Chi-Ha kai or Chi-He with its amazing 47mm gun.
Yeah they lost quite a bit of Necessary penetration with the ballistic update.
@@rocket_sensha4337 ...sob
Will there ever be some sort to game mode where tanks, aircrafts, helis and ships of all BR fight all together on large map or something like that? Like a real war. I would like to see something like that.
Certainly hope so. Please keep asking on every video until they notice.
Will do bro
Considering adding new factions like China?
good idea. we could have things like the type-59, type-69 and the type-99
They already said in the past that, that isn’t happening
Adding China that is

It would be an American tree until post war and then turn into a knockoff russian tree for the Cold War. Not unique at all
I personally think that japanese tech tree is one of the hardest nation to grind for tanks
Germany would kick you into the stratosphere with that. And Italy or France.
Gaijin buff the Type 61 please.
Georgi Vanev type 61 is an amazing vehicle if you play it right
What a great pronunciation!!! I really love how Bruce explains every video!!! Obviously the content is also really great. Please keep up with this nice videos!!!
I wish there were the heavy japanese
Tanks:
O-I
O-Ni
O-Ho
Type 4 Heavy
Type 5 heavy
never existed
We need slice of life improvements. e.g when RB is selected the stat cards for planes, some stats such as speed, climb, turn rate, changes color to green denoting its max performance and I like it that those things are being pronounced and would like the same for ships and tank.
2nd: whenever an event or any vehicle that is usable in a battle. (ships e.g) planes can be used but if they are not put in your line up and if we go into battle and come back those aircrafts (all aircrafts) that can be used but weren't, their weapons and ammo change back to default. This is soooooo inconvenient! I hate it when my stuff gets reset they need to fix this issue and its been plaguing for a long time now
I go through the whole tree and like to play all vehicles at least until i spade them. Btw, can you make video's of this type for planes to? From tier 3 and behond i have difficulty mastering the planes.
stb 1 (or type 74) is one of my favorite tank beside german tank like panther and tiger
Chi-Ha, Chi-Ri, and Type 90 still broken. Thank you.
wait,what ? i don't know there was a broken ? what's the broken one ?
@@asa0046 Chi-Ha and every tank that uses its hull (Chi-Ha Kai, Ho-Ni, etc) shake while turning making it impossible to aim, Chi-Ri is missing smoke shells for hull gun (one of the reasons it was given a hull gun in the first place), Chi-Ri's assisted loading system doesn't work, Type 90 is using STC's armor and JM33 is underperforming. Virtually every Japanese shell is underperforming according to Japanese and US tests.
Cmon man at you didn't even mention the Chad Chi-Ha LG
Press F for Ha-Go.
I love the Ho-Ro it's so fun to just launch heat rounds at high tier tanks
Same
Nice video!
And you don’t have to roll your r’s...
Japanese pronunciation of “RA RI RU RE RO” is like “LA LI LU LE LO”.
Love the Chi-To, chi-ri II and Ho-Ri
Where is the next update???
@scorplion Om ffffffffff
I think the Type 74 is my favorite but I hate that now it gets outclassed in every way by what it sees (T-55AM/XM-1)
type 93 apfsds say not anymore suckers!
Fix repair cost for Realistic Battles Air Japan plz
ok I found something interesting with the Japanese planes. the a6m5 otsu costs 20,000 SL double of the ho ri.
The only non-premium tank can help you grinding the early tech tree pretty fast is the Ho-Ri prototype at BR 7.0. The type 89 and stb1 are good as well but the time you can unlock them would be too late.
And the french Tech tree where is it did you forgot him ?
Clément Tou ils vont le faire j’en suis sûr
How did you manage to make Japanese sound Spanish? That's impressive
Dear Gaijin,
Can you please add more crew slots?
Thanks.
Gotta pay with GE
Hey Bruce a lot of people saw the leopard 2a5 on the dev server, and I was wondering if they will be in the update after 1.87? I’m a German tanker and would love to get my hands on something that slick.

I love the ha-go and especially the chi-ha kai
I QUIT PHLY FOR THIS
Mr.Rimmer ?
Unlike the Naval and maybe Aviation tree. The Japanese Army tree is one big meme. At least early on. The history weeb energy must be very strong in order to keep playing it seriously.
I like... None of them! 9:53
i agree. i play japan as main and the ho ri obliterated almost everyting but the reload speed is not that great
When Japan will pass beta testing to be a actual tech tree?
Huh? They allready did that over a year ago!
@@thatoneguynextdoor8794 Haha, sure doesn't look like it. You know USA, Russia, Germany haves several tanks per br, we call that options. Making me a video how to do a lineup with premium vehicles because there's no other way? Japan nobody's dangerous. I want them to be, but...
@@ozmanice7584
There simply aren't enough tanks to make Japan as strong as these nations. The only things that could still be added are a few light/medium tanks at Tier I (like a Chi-Ha with the turret of the Ke-Ni) a few Tier I and II Tank destroyers and 2 more ST-A Tanks. Maybe HE-only firing SPGs at high-Tier and these wouldn't exactly be useful. There are no options for a Heavy-Tank Line, you cant flesh out the SPAA tree to much and at Tier II and III you can't add more tanks either. There are 2 Ho-Ris in game. Guess how many were completed irl. 0. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see more Japanese Tanks but there aren't much more and those they could add are mostly kinda useless
@@thatoneguynextdoor8794 they have now 10 more tanks in the files and some passed to developers just a few months ago. Japan was banned to develop their army so they've send/sold patented files all over the place. They didn't produce war vehicles "in house". USA payed Japan for all damages they've done, including free USA armored vehicles and started a partnership program for development ground/air war machines. I can't remember in what year this happened, around 70s tells something in my memory. I can tell you something for sure, all nations knows, if Japan had been allowed to own an army, they would have the most advanced war tech across the board. USA citizens didn't want to get involved in ww2, Pearl Harbor was a perfect opportunity for the government to convince the public they need to enter the war. Japan attacked them and got paid, war is a very profitable business. They had German vehicles, us vehicles and lots of them.
@@ozmanice7584 I would agree
Hell the closest thing to an army for Japan is the JSDF
And heck
America is allowing them to build it up incase of China
Basically we are in another Cold War
He skipped over the Chi-He and Chi-Ha Kai. Two AMAZING vehicles.
Yeah, I love those tanks
America when saw Japanese tanks:
Finally some good freaking food
Tastes like fish
My favorite is the STB-1 because it has the stabilizer and you get that half a second advantage in the enemy
OMG they killed Ke-Ni
Not going to lie
The ke-ni is pretty amazing
this tree making me Ho-Ni.
This video severly under sells the deadliness of the Ho-Ro. It is capable of death dealing well above its rank. It is an absolute monster.
Chi-Nu II, a seal clubber
In my opinion, I think the overall silhouettes of the Tier 2 and 3 tanks are pretty ahead of their time. I can actually see some similarities between those tanks and a bunch of late WW2 tanks and a bunch of cold war vehicles too.
type 61 is so trashy theres no purpose naming it in the video
The type 61 is a extremely good tank
The Ho-Ro is a nice anti-tank Gun..
