so you have discarded most of this thread because we arent hivemind agreeing to a powerful TD being placed at a BR where its even more busted
It should be placed with ferdinand line cause its his place.
Its a ferdinand like with same armor and worst pen.
It cannot deal with T54 and others.
Even on the br it should be, french and many other tanks can kill it pretty easily.
its an elephant with superior armour, 200mm flat on hull & casemate vs 120mm@70deg hull (so equiv to 293mm LOS thickness), plus the near guarantee of a shell shatter or ricochet) and 200-225mm casemate armour which overlaps.
4mm of flat face pen difference at point blank so comparable in gun punch, such a small difference its within player error tolerances for every test shot
108g TNT in elephants shot vs 200mm in the HO RI so WILL nuke anything it penetrates
Overall far superior TD in that field
you don’t know how to aim. Literally just shoot the mantlet and it pops
if we put it to the same BR as elephant or ferdinand only two vehicles of the same BR could easily combat its armour, Charioteer and Ratel 20 as their APDS and missile pen is of whats expected at 7.3
You can also penetrate and one shot literally every single tank of that BR everywhere with rare exclusions.
Please do not overlook the Ho ri engine, the 1000+HP engine makes it quite flexible
It’s called an uptier, though it is slight, it isn’t supposed to be easy
wait it has 1000+hp?! from a ww2 japanese engine under that amount of stress? what a pile of bs
He’s only here because he has a point. The Ho-Ri is a pretty good tank as is.
Very very good as is.
Tends to be the theme with armored vehicles that are completely fabricated for modern media
