The Type 5 Heavy is a Japanese tier 10 heavy tank.
The Type 5, also known as the Type 2605, was one of the variants of the O-I superheavy tank, developed during WWII. The vehicle was planned to be used for breaking through fortified enemy lines and for coastal defense.
Sometimes known as "Godzilla" or just Type 5, the Type 5 Heavy holds the title as one of the most frequently changed Tier X vehicles in the game. Initially considered to be one the worst tier 10s in the game, the Type 5 Heavy has since received multiple buffs to its performance in various later patches. While the first round of buffs did not significantly improve its performance, the second round, received in patch 9.17.1, brought forth major changes to the way this tank played. With its much stronger armor and a massive new 15.2 cm howitzer gun with lethal HE shells, each dealing 1400 damage per shot if penetrating the target's armor or 500-600 damage if not, the Type 5 Heavy would consistently inflict serious damage against even the most heavily armored tanks in the game. Because of this, the tank quickly became a far more formidable and popular vehicle, having enough firepower to impact the whole of the meta game and gaining the reputation as one of the most loathed Tier X vehicles from players that were forced to square off against it.
After a while, the Type 5 Heavy's over-performing 15.2 cm was eventually and, according to most, rightfully nerfed, making its performance much less effective. To balance this nerf, however, the 14 cm gun received an additional buff to its own performance, making it a more viable alternative. In addition, the tanks mobility was also improved. These changes had, once again, significantly altered the way the Type 5 Heavy plays, making it more in line with the old Type 5 Heavy, but performing better than its old self due to the aforementioned improvements. While this iteration of the Type 5 Heavy is its most balanced iteration yet, the nerfs brought the tank back into being fairly underwhelming. Over time, despite receiving minor buffs in patch 1.13, the Type 5 Heavy is once again among the least popular tier 10s in the game, and is considered to be among the worst heavy tanks in its tier.
As the final development of its respective Japanese Heavy Tank line, the Type 5 Heavy shares similar features to the tanks that came before it. With its thick armor, huge size, poor mobility, high alpha damage and good gun depression it also comes with a few notable features, which were lacked by the tanks predecessors. Specifically, the Type 5 Heavy has much stronger hull cheeks, terminating one of the most well-known weak points of the previous Type 4 Heavy. This, combined with its very thick side armor, makes this tank surprisingly efficient at sidescraping, something the previous Japanese heavies couldn't do. In addition, the Type 5 Heavy has excellent reverse speed of -15 km/h, which is 50% better than the poor -10 km/h that the previous vehicles in the line had. Finally, the Type 5 Heavy has surprisingly good gun handling, something that also was lacking on the previous vehicles.
The Type 5 Heavy marks the end of its Japanese heavy line.

Like a boss, and with the big gun, which is generally considered to be worse than the small one.

[@shrdedcheeks]

Justa curiosity you know what specific mod ( or setting in aslians) you chose for the reduction of health in tanks?

[@evobsm2328]

God that strv 81 kinda pissed me off

[@hueydevotedUH1]

I think I have never NOT been shot with gold when driving this tank.....and it's armor is BUTTER against gold. Always helps when it's a VERY T8 match in your Type 5.

[@ladissefl7536]

Very very good

[@phpkiev]

Не, ну если б ТТ10 не нагибал восмёрок - это было бы совсем фиаско. А тут ещё и такой подарок, олени на вражеской Е100 и гриле. Туре 5 с его смешным пробоем (даже голдой!) - это сейчас тупо кусок гуано, практически неиграбельный. Броня при том количестве вертикальных поверхностей - ничего не может.

[@POFIGOZAVR]

Так то да. Но во взводе и на второй линии обороны он вполне отыгрывает. Таких танков много и тот же ис-7 с его задачами не справится.

[@eslume1]

It's funny when I play type 5 everyone uses HEAT but it was a good match.

[@Depth867]

This tank has a problem that can be easily shot through with HEAT and APCR rounds, and to solve it, the frontal armor needs to be 330mm or more. However, it is the weakest HT that can not be helped because of the problem of causing a balance collapse at the same time.

[@valentinodeschamps9815]

Unlucky !! The whole enemy team played without using premium shells so I find that the game play is really shitty for the part it is not satisfied so look for an 11k6 it's just disgusting and shameful the way it was done !

[@MowMiJanek34]

What is this British camo?

[@andresoares4638]

Buff em penetração na Hesh e na munição AP

[@Supekkusu]

Nope, just bring back the old OG type 5 is enough

[@Person_Secret]

На EU-сервере не знают, куда пробивать "алкаша"? Или его там апнули???

[@IdusRolo]

[@Alleryaxxx]

Vs Tier 8 ... 😂

[@gusrodriguez6102]

Cualquiera contra tier bajos

[@teofiloprisanu3831]

better then maus

[@prozac5314]

Both are suited for different situations, but kind of agree, type 5 can trade better although maus has better armor and more hp

[@cosminenache124]

I play maus and type 5. I can tell you they are diferent style. With maus you have to expose your side when type need something to incline to hid weak spot . So type need cover. Maus is better then type.

[@budjy]

iN TIER X VS TIER X T5H only give enemies farm nothing more. is a heat sponge. 0 bounce vs tier 8 is bullying only.. MM and your pearls.. Rip leviathan brother..

[@cosminenache124]

Type 5 is good in only citys or buildings or structure, to incline your armor to hide left side and right side weakspot. So with this tank no need to expose side armor. I dont like when i play with him Heat can penetrate him in turret like be nothing sometimes. I rlly want to fix the turret armor.

[@fluxeon0077]

People complaining about tier 8 like normally if you go to random battle it is a chance even if you play a tier 8 or 10 will hit you in a battle with 10-9-8 tiers many time's i played tier 8 and it did hit me in tier 9/10 did i have a chance? No so this is called dumb matchmaking what everyone can thank for wargaming it isn't he's fault he played a tier 10 and got in a 9/8 tier battle not like he could choose to play only tier 10 😂
