the arrival of t84 and vt4 as Thai vehicles will make Japan more playable, although I hope vt4 can be added to all countries in the game, obviously gaijin will not do so

What , japan is literally one of the best nation in the game both air and ground. What are you talking about making it it more playable. Also chinese and ukr MBT in japan tech tree. Not a good idea

It’s better for VT4 to be in front of Type 10 or TKX so you know how bad VT4 is.

It seems like a way to set the atmosphere, but I like it.
No it’s not, lol. Japanese MBT’s have nothing but their reload speed, Japan lacks a proper top tier MBT, I’ve never seen a Japan plane performing CAS and I’m pretty sure a lot of top tier planes of Japan are kinda outdated at this point. Also their top tier IFV’s and wheeled vehicles suck. How I know that? Never ever I had a problem with a single japanese vehicle in this game, not even close. One-shot material, sometimes I feel like they’re gonna fall apart just from me looking at them. Not that long ago I brought a low tier puma to top tier, made a scouting flank and decided to just shoot someone when it was time for me to die, Type 10 - oneshot, yea yea APHE, but I hit an engine compartment, I wasn’t even aiming… And I do still feel bad about it…

? F15JM is “kinda outdated”
Bro you have not played japan , what do you know about their top tier. Yeah all you do is look at stats card and judge the vehicle. You don’t know about the nation and vehicle why bother yapping

No, I play with them and against them. I doubt they suck so much because of the playerbase. It’s not Sweeden, but I do know a lot of decent players who started playing Japan only because they have Type 93 (AKA funny car go wrrr)
UPD: Though I can’t be so sure about air, because I haven’t been playing top tier Air RB recently (Phantom related issue)
But what you did was scratching the surface. TKX/Type 10 doesn’t simply have the best reload rate. What they make up for lack of armor is their mobility , that make it better than 4/8 nation in the game. Their air as of now is one of the best , if not the best behind the F15E. It is one of the best nation for a reason , sure there nothing left to added for the ground tree beside another subtree nation tank. But adding Vt4 and T84 doesn’t make any sense , even if the Thai have them. And the chinese player will not be happy if Vt4 in the jap tech tree for obvious reason

Now I assure you: the vast majority of Chinese players would love to see VT4 enter the Japanese faction. Preferably in front of the 10 or TKX :)
Their mobility isn’t that different from others and it gets absolutely irrelevant because everyone has almost the same speed and acceleration. What I’m trying to say is that the difference in their mobility isn’t enough to give you a positional advantage on a top tier. Their top tier heli sucks on par with every hellfire slinger, well with F-15 I could agree, still no CAS capabilities though. Just checked their air tree, terribly sorry, I forgot that they had a couple of decent planes I fought against, because of their armament namings It got overshadowed in my head. And about chinese players - just stop, or should I bring up taiwanese vehicles in their tree? I’m all in for making Japanese tree a better one, maybe I’ll even finally get a willpower to start grinding again, lol.
I wouldn’t say Japan is bad but for ground that is a reach.
Probably the more interesting side of a Thai sub tree with Alpha Jets, Gripens and modernised F-16s.
And following the thread theme of Asian rage baiting; KAI T-50.
Apples and Oranges
Both are fruits…
An apple is not an orange. I get the comparison between China/ROC(Taiwan) but it’s not the same.
VT4 has a 7.1 sec reload, huge lfp that will resulte in a one shot uppon hit, aps is kinda useless, in term of pros and cons vt4 is equal to the Type 10, type 10 is fast and has a good reload but 0 armor, vt4 has ok tier armor, good speed but awfull reload. Only good reason to add the VT4 would be to add diversity to the 12.0 lineup that is lacking, in term of performance pretty sure player would still prefer to play the type 10 rather than the VT4, 7.1 second reaload really doesn’t worth the armor tradoff.
Adding VT-4, and u got yourself an all round worse tank, and Japanese players will take a while to get used to Soviet mobility lol. CAS wise, F15J(M) is doable, not insane but CAP + CAS at the same time, it’s pretty strong.

Agree, every country should have their own VT4 before their top MBT to make their ground tech tree more sucks.

Japan doesn’t need a VT4, despite Thailand owning units. But I would support the T-84 Oplot, it’s a good option for a non copy pasted vehicle which would add a lot either for the game with the armor innovations on the T-84 compared to the T-80 and for the tech tree eventually adding an extra 11.3 MBT.
I really do want the T-84 Oplot-T. Good optics, good mobility, insane armor. I wonder if it has a spall liner, as I have only found one article that says it has one and it doesn’t list a source.
