Doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad, China makes them, therefore it makes sense for China to get it via Pakistan, especially since we already have a couple Pakistani vehicles in the Chinese tree. And since Japan is getting a Thai sub-tree and Thailand operates them too, it also makes sense for Japan to get it.
I don’t really see any other option, this is, in my opinion, a no-brainer.
Sure, but neither of those countries are subtrees. A subtree nation is supposed to be a full nation within a nation. This makes Japan no longer Japan as a tree, but Japan and Thailand, no matter if air or ground.
Even with Australia and Canada many players want them fixed to one nation, or even their own separate nation to get rid of the forced split lineups.
Personally I even suggested a complete rework for subtree mechanics to make subtree nations feel less like an addition to another, and more like they are full nations equal to others
The Chi-Ri finally has the correct name after almost 10 years. We’ve actually had decent progresss of low-mid Japanese tanks in recent updates, so I’m happy.
Fixed:
-Chi-Ri weight
-Chi-Ri name
-Chi-Ri reverse speed
However, the Chi-Ri still needs the Type 1 APHE for for the 37 mm gun, as well as the model fixes
Two years old photo from JGSDF Camp Higashi-Chitose 7th Armored Division Archive. There are some internal diagrams of Chi-Nu, including electrical layout and transmission diagram. Similar transmission diagram drawing from Ka-Chi and Chi-Ri also list the gear ratios, but unfortunately that part is covered in this photo. It could mean better reverse speed for Chi-He, Ho-I and both Chi-Nus.
Just a hint if any of our Japanese friends are travelling that way. The diagram might also appear in one of the many tank books. I’d definitely buy one if I knew which.
Hi guys. I made this about a week ago. I thought it might fit here.
Expanded Japanese ground forces w/thailand. I don’t think it’s the end, I do think there’s room for Indonesia as well, but I figured this would be a good place to share. I used this thread for a bit of research for Thai vehicles.
The Thai tree is great, but I think it’s not strong enough for future expansion. The Thai subtree helps bring the already underpowered Japanese tree up to average, and other countries will continue to expand in the meantime, so I think we need to get help from Indonesia and other countries for the future. This is true for both land and air.
I do not think so. In terms of ground we’ve pretty much reached the end of the line for a majority of nations, and Japan’s future Type 10 upgrade could end up being the capstone of their tree. When talking about anti-air, Japan isn’t necessarily doomed either, as we still have the Type 11 that can be added in its current state, but also the Type 03 for whenever multi-vehicle SAMs are present.
And with air, Japan of course has the F-2A, which could be split up into (Early) and (Late) versions, Thailand is reportedly purchasing the Gripen E, and as we already know Japan already has the F-35A in service. And this is without mentioning the Mitsubishi F-X program.
