Playing the BEST tanks of Japan in World of Tanks!

[@jannieslanik4085]

In 1943, Japan bought several specimens of German tank designs for study. A single Tiger I was apparently purchased, along with a Panther and two Panzer IIIs, but only the Panzer IIIs were actually delivered. The undelivered Tiger was loaned to the German Wehrmacht by the Japanese government. [wiki]

Its still a good tank. Extremely high dpm and enough armor to block standard ammo of its own tier.

i loved it when grinding for the stb1. In a bad matchup it can be very painful tho

[@LetUsReasonTogetheyr]

I enjoyed the Chi-Ri. But, it is a sniper tank, not an upfront tank. QB's style is to be very aggressive and get up close in the action, which does not play to the Chi-Ri's strength.

[@akybosule]

Yep, bad play with the chi ri. If I didnt knew he was quickybaby, I could have said, its a begginer driving that tank.

yeah, its low tier killer, but struggles against higher tiers

[@UIMcocodog]

@@durachoks if you load the gold its actually not bad vs t8s. your hp is like a t8. your clip has similar total alpha and reload to many other t7s that use the 122mm guns but the chi ri has much better handling. that handling and the extra hp imo makes it much better vs higher tiers than said other high alpha t7 meds......

[@JWSitterley]

QB: While trade between Japan and Germany existed called, Yanagi Trade, for spare parts, war equipment plans, manufacturing licensing with technical manuals and supplies, no Tiger Tank was shipped to the Japanese mainland. The 4 Henschel Panzer III & IVs were packed and crated up ready for shipment from France and then D-Day happened on June 6th and the Germans reacquired their Tanks. These manuals however did inspire the Japanese Type 5 Chi-Ri.

When the FV4005 disappear, actually, you aiming at point far behind it, that make shell trajectory change to the one that higher than when you aiming at FV4005. The lower the shell velocity, the higher the shell go. There is a mod that fix the distance of aiming point to prevent the change in aiming, Ballistic Calculator (BalCalc), it is very useful for derp gun.

That CS-63 did the right thing not commiting, he would have being destroyed in the first 20 seconds if he got there alone.

[@johnhall9695]

Why yes, in 1943, Japan managed to purchase 4 Tiger I tanks from Germany as well as the technical documentation about them. This was to study how to build and field heavy tanks against the US and Brits in the turning Pacific War. (Heavy tanks would probably have been useless for island battles because of the mud, mountains and lack of adequate roads) Japanese representatives in Germany only received one Tiger I but never found a way to deliver it to Japan because of heavy enemy naval activity. It was eventually destroyed by the Allies while at port, having never made it to Japan.

[@encresculpture6]

Ah ! Finally a video that shows what kind of games I use to play. Sometimes not bad (O-I game), most of the time bad (rest of the games), and globally disgusting bcause of OP premiums, premium consumables etc... I'm starting having good crews and now I see how it feels to fully control a tank and use the skills. But anyway, in the end there's always a BZ176, a Bourrasque, an Iron-Arnie, an ELC 90 etc (I don't need to write'em all you know what I'm talkin about). I came back on the game 9 months ago and I'm wondering if I'm not going to make a break again. You see the way your despair at the end (type 5 game where you were about to suicide from the bridge ?) well, it's the same everyday for me ^^ The chi-ri is actually really good, I put lots of tanks on fire with it ;) (I mean, more than usual)

[@badrobot2478]

In the chi ri game I'd have pulled back, when higher tiers sit back and expect lower tiers to "do or die" I just leave that flank, I'm not dying because they don't want to get their paint scratched.

[@strategicmind2652]

I'd love a series that focused on the worst tanks of each nation and how you can make the most of them, I also remember when I had 14.03 sec reload on my O-Ho with the derp, it was the perfect tank to counter hulldown tanks.

Yep the amazing thing is I’m around 3-4k dmg on avg at tier 10, even with all the fuckery the game gives me, nothing hit thrown shots, with no lag, 50-70 ms ping, over 200 fps, fully aimed, field mods, aiming device. Vents, sometimes very stabs, depending on the vehicle, 5-6 crew skills on tier 8, 9 or 10, even vehicles with the sniper label, and like .30 accuracy at 100m, it’ll miss fully aimed shots against tier 10 heavy/super heavy lower plates, at 50m, it’ll throw them so bad, most shots, it’s a miss, bounce, or dmg tracks, with full on frontal, lower plate shot, fully exposed. It’s a fucking nightmare, let alone trying to hit weak spots at times, will miss literally every shot, at close range, when fully aimed.

Japan actually paid 645,000 rhienmarks in 1943, but the tank never reached Japan. It was sent to Western front after Normandy landings.

[@lason999]

I have noticed that for some reason, not too many people realize what happened with the HE shell to the FV4005. Basically once he got unspotted, the reticle switched to aiming at the target which was in it's center. It was probably some grass on the other side of the map. In order to loop the shell there, the arc of the shell had to be adjusted.

“Keep Calm, and Quicky On” was what I thought when you said “keep calm” during that stb1 game.

Japan was to receive the blue prints for a tiger tank via sub, but one of the subs was sunk. Germany later sent technical documentation for the Tiger I tank to Japan in 1943, but Japan never received the tank itself.

Chi-Ri is very viable if you play it correctly. it is an ambush predator and you played it in a hulldown position trying to trade with it. Play it like your Progetto 46 not your Iron Arnie.

[@robinkhn2547]

u cant play it like a Progetto since the top speed is only 42 km/h. Unless u are top tier, the Chi-Ri is a bad and frustrating tank to play.

[@jondagloria2677]

Quacky brings a sniper tank to the front line then complains.

[@thesnazzycomet]

I personally love the Chi-To. It has a good gun and is very healthy for a tier 6 medium

[@matrobnew]

my favorite T6 med. Yes its way too huge for its armor layout, but it's pretty fast, with a very fast reloading, hard-hitting gun. And tbh I've kept my Chi-Nu around all these years bc its fairly competitive at T5 as well. Historically, Chi-NU was designed to fight the Sherman (never got the chance) and there are a lot of similarities.

[@Donanzador]

O-I and O-NI are definitely among my favorite tanks. Some of my best games are in these tanks. I use both with the smaller AP gun, 175mm standard pen with 300 alpha is actually really nice at tier 6 (while the derp struggles to pen even yourself), and its armor can sometimes surprise even tier 7 heavies. Also the fact that you get the 105mm gun as stock probably contributes to the relatively high win rate of the tank, since you don't need to struggle with subpar guns. I was also doing surprisingly well with Chi-Ri when I grinded through it and enjoying more so than the STA-1, even tho I was first dreading it. Tho that might be more about the state of tier 8 with all the premium spam, whereas with Chi-Ri I didn't always have to face OP premiums.

[@robinkhn2547]

The last game just showed how OP the BZ-176 is. Can just dominate a whole flank on its own, nothing you can do against it....

Mate the Chi-Ri actually slaps. The gun is really nice.

I already three marked and 6 skilled the crew on my HT No. 6.

And yeah, I have a full female crew on the tank. Though i'll admit, it's not as competitive as before after all of the new premium tanks appeared on the game

Don't throw shade at the Chi-Ri QB, it's a good tier VII. The size fools you in playing it like a heavy, but it's definetly an opportunity medium as all autoloaders. When you can't dump your magazine, put one in, fall back. You can always reload all 3 shells since the time for it is pretty low. That's the only trick about it, play it like a single shot unless you're able to dump all rounds in. Not sure how to explain it better.

[@Hyde_Hill]

I recently watched the video where he first talked about turbo equipment. And he said well maybe on some of the slowest tanks. Now he practically has it on all lol. Does fit the name.

The only thing Wargaming is interested in is in your money. Decent gameplay WAS possible in the early days, but nowadays is it possible to get the highest tiers relatively simple. Which means a lot of non-skilled tankers running around not knowing what to do. Winning is a worse than flipping a coin.

[@allepalle1580]

The hole stb 1 line is pretty underrated

[@danielfeinour9611]

Yes, QB, you are correct that Japan is getting new tech trees. It will be a new heavy line and a new TD line as well. WG's rendition of the new heavy from their video looks like it will be more of an MBT focus tank from the late 60s to mid-70s. I'm very interested in their TD line, because the tank they showed on the video for that looked like the Ho-Ri. It looks similar to a Ferdinand in the game, but might be higher tiered and with a larger gun. I played the Ho-Ri a lot in the strat. game called R.U.S.E. The thing was an absolute monster when paired with supporting tanks. Looking forward to the new lines.

[@realbadcorps]

Personally, I found the upgraded gun without the autoloader a more viable option for the better DPM. People always expect the autoloader, so they wait for you to fire all three then dump you during the reload. The gun is the same with better DPM and turret dispersion. You put out a whopping 17 rounds a minute stock, upped with a gun rammer, BIA, food, and vents, you reach staggering 21 rounds a minute which is perfect for permatracks. Chip away 130 damage every 2.8 seconds meaning 2.7K DPM.

[@i_nameless_i-jgsdf]

To think thay WG still doesnt add a single Japanese tank destroyer even at this time ?! They could even use the vehicle model of Japanese tank destroyers or even heavy tanks from blitz and make it a altenative heavy tank branch. The HTs from Blitz are very different to the PC version.

[@CalPhotoGuy]

Chi-ri is fantastic, if you play it properly. It's not a front line brawler. You have to be more judicious. Support the brawlers and empty the clip on tanks that are distracted or reloading. It's a glass cannon with its DPS spread out a little.

The Chi Ri is the type of tank that can almost always dominate tier 5 lobbies.

[@zeroyuki92]

Chi-ri is actually pretty decent. That gun is fun whenever you can pen people, and the lack of speed and armor could be mitigated if the gun is good. My problem is that it has awful pen even in gold round, and since it doesn't really have the speed to flank around it's a very tricky tank to utilize well (especially when you meet tier 8/9). WG should just give the tank an actual HEAT round and change the current gold AP to standard AP. That wouldn't make it OP at all, but it would be a fun challenge to master and is a much less situational tank to use.

[@ludovitbradovka5208]
