Speaking about the Japanese 47mm, for the longest time I've been saying how strong the Chi-Ha Kai is at 2.3. Insane gun, great reload, stabilized, 12 degrees of gun depression, meh armor, but good mobility.

[@jvelas_]

Yeah, the Chi-Ha Kai and the Chi-He are pretty good tanks for their BR.

Your old 'Tanks that should be added to War Thunder' videos were always something I'd watch to see what Gaijin seemingly will not add because they're too focused on top-tier to care about WWII vehicles anymore. I'd love to see another one in the future, as there's still thousands of vehicles out there to be pondered on.

[@hazloner117]

I second this but for cold war vehicles instead of WWII, there's got to be a whole bunch of whacky bullshit we haven't seen from secondary powers during the 60s-70s

[@liladoodle]

They're focusing on top-tier because overpriced & overpowered premium equals money.

[@doomguy.23frommars60]

I remember the glitch when this thing would warp and 50 metre tall towers grew off of it. Could you make a video about historical inaccuracies at top tier? I see loads of people talking about the M1A2 SEP missing armour.

[@mrimdumb4537]

Was the tower its tracks? I vaguly remeber somthing about that

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

Or the BMP 2M getting equipment that it doesn't have after being moved from top tier. Modern Russian tanks getting far more than they should and being treated far better than most other tanks. Meanwhile the American tanks/vehicles being treated as inferior in general as they strip a lot of features from them. There's also the Swedish jets where they got rid of the tracers since the Swedish use a tracking radar to fire. Though guess what Gajim didn't give them that other nations have.

[@GhostycrewJaeger]

I've seen those when I first started warthunder I just stared at it trying to make what I'm looking at

[@JC_WT]

The Ka-Chi's survivability comes down to the pontoons acting as spaced armour, as well as there is a pressurized tube inside the hull which houses the crew, which also acts as spaced armour. Then there's the sheer number of crew which can make this thing a menace to kill sometimes.

[@hazloner117]

I was wondering why I never had a problem with these things in low tier, normally when you play a tank I get flashbacks to fighting it with my swedish paper bag tanks. Then I remembered what shells low tier Sweden gets and realized I probably just accidentally 1-shotted these without knowing what they were.

[@CZ350tuner]

The Ka=Chi also served in the Australian army, in the Pacific theatre. They had more than 20 captured Ka-Chi tank and operated them with the pontoons removed. Many photographs exist of this tank in Australian markings.

You see spookston plays this and he gets shot 10 times before any serious damage is inflicted upon him but If I were to play it some clown would one shot me with a 50 cal from all the way across the map.

My favorite part about this thing is that the pontoon on the front (not sure about the rear) will also stop most heat shells because of how much internal space it has too.
