How about adding a few japaneese tanks into the game? We dont have any other tanks than american, british and german. Maybe if the Type 97 "Chi Ha" was included we'd have more sherman killers out there. :D
The type 97 "chi Ha" had a 7.6mm hull gun, a 7.6mm pintle and some variants were fitted out with 45mm's and 75mm's 76mm's as main turrets.
The armor on the Type 97 was relatively weak 33mm turret front, 26mm turret sides and rear, 19mm turret top, 20mm hull front, 9mm hull sides, 20mm hull rear, 8mm hull bottom.
Its top speed was 38 KP/H and can move at a moderate speed on rough/flat terrains. (so ive heard)
The type 97 was used alot in the WW2 Pacific Campain to fight off the M4 Shermans that seemed to be tearing the Japaneese to shreds.
It was also a Tank vs Infantry vehicle (kind of like the type 87 wich had a 37mm)
The type 97 could be a great addition to the game and it might turn out to be a good base-capping vehicle.
The type 97 could also be used with AP/HE rounds, its turret help up to 50 AP/HE rounds and about 1200 Machine gun rounds.
The hull turret held up to 1100 rounds and it was relatively easy to knock out.
If we get this amazing tank i think we should have a choice on what size turret we want on it.
Im open to critisicm and im eager to hear your responses, tell me what you think :cheers: :salute :joystick:

yeah they did, but it finally happened after what? 8 years of begging? but lets not get off topic here. the real deal is in the Type 97 "Chi Ha"

Theres a reason Japan was never famous for its tanks...

was it because they used wet lasagne sheets as armour.

As far as I can recall, they never said no to the B-29, only the nuke.

I tried a thread a long time ago about Japanese tanks. It didn't go over very well at all. Japan had a few big tanks but other than those, it was mostly poorly armored with a small gun. And that was just about all the excuses I heard.
-
Yeah, I can see an IJN tank with less than 1/2 the armor of our Pzkw-IV being used ALOT in the arenas :uhoh
You really don't need an "excuse" to predict this as a waste of resources. Oh what the heck, the hangars could
use another queen. :D

Dam BAR, less then 6 minutes. You must have a program that alerts you whenever someone wishes for a tank other than the M-18. :D
P.S. M-18 :aok
:cheers:

LOL. There is a chip in-beaded in his head that signals him.

forget the jap tanks put the german tanks, mouse and the rat OMFG!!!! Those tanks would be awesome the rat i believe had CV guns on it, ya it was huge look it up, the mouse was actually built and tested(not sure i smelled the mouse correctly in the german form)
-
I want a IJ Tank. dont care how weak it is, like a better M8.
300+ :salute
-
forget the jap tanks
You hurt my feelings.
-
Do we even have more than 20 GV's in game??? i think that if we get at least one jap tank it would make me happy. we all want stuff :cheers:
-
I wouldnt mind a japanese tank, if we can get other light tanks to complimen it, update the late war tank perks so the better the tank the more perks, some good aditions would be panzer 3's, BT-7's M3 Stuarts, this game lacks EW tanks in general, bring on the Kv-1's and 2's ! :rock

[/quoteNo... That was the high end Japanese tanks, he's talking about the really high end tanks made of aluminium foil and toilet paper for extra cushioning. :D

The Type 97 was not a Sherman killer, just need to see how it faired against the Shermans when both fought at Okinawa.

I think you should fix that, lol

This is especially interesting as I have never seen a "heavy" or upgunned Sherman variant in the Pacific. They all
appeared to be the short 75mm type. I think the 76mm Sherman would booty stomp the Type 97.

i meant in the game, say we have the choice to load it up with a 45, 75 or a 76mm turret. the thing im trying to get at is that we can have something other than M4's and panzers out there on the battlefield

No you wouldn't have those choices. You'd only have the choice of the 45mm main gun as that was the primary gun that was used on the Type 97. The only time the Type 97 carried a gun larger than 57mm was for testing or during design stages of a new model (i.e. Type 4 Chi-To ) which were based on the Type 97 variant.

the big question...
Is there room for light tanks in AH... like in AvA and special events?
It would be interesting to have japanese vs chinese tank battles (russian-export T-26 vs japanese chi ha or chingchangchongwhatevervarian t) :rock

i dont know...it may happen but not anytime soon :furious
2 weeks :P

Stick with German Tanks (yes, I'd +1 the Panther) and give us the better Japanese Planes would seem like a much better plan. I'd +1 the Raiden long before I'd look for any of the crackerbox Japanese tanks.
