Well thats just silly. 😂Chi-ha kai can be also penetrated by 12.7 mm from the front in flat spots its just 25 mm anything penetrates it and that bit less armor gives BTs edge that they often get overpenned from sides as it flies across the battlefield. Bts have faster gun reload. Worse gun depresion is just common sence for russia but it all gets completly outshined with its speed that is almost as fast as Puma off road but better because it has tracks and can turn on the spot. BTs are still very much better than Chi-ha kai and they range from reverse to 2.0 while Chi-ha kai was moved to 2.3 for no bloody reason. Maybe better comparsion for Chi-ha kai would be american reverses and 2.0 which again are faster, better reload, more penetration, more or same armor with only edge japanese 2.3 tank have is 5° depresion and HE fillar which is not really reason to be above their br.
The BT-5 can’t be overpenetrated as it has like 15mm of armor all around and the Chi-Ha Kai can’t be penetrated by .50cals even from 100m other then a small flat part near the turret ring, which will turn the gunner yellow.
Or how exactly is 25mm of armor penetrated by a 12.7mm AP that penetrates at most 25mm at 300m against perfectly flat armor when the entire front isn’t flat?
The BT-5 is at most a 1.3 or 1.7 tank, but that doesn’t change the fact that the Chi-Hai Kai is superior.
you basically just said Japan has everything good including starting arty only unique to 3 countries. You included several vehicles great for having a decent setup. Chi-Ri isnt bad, it has good gun and it should be compared to stuff like M6 heavy tank, low armor decent mobility good firepower. All Japanese tanks have great HE filler in their AP shells,
Tier IV France isn’t good at all except for ELC and AMX M4, tier V is where it starts to shine.
And on tier I France I didn’t even talk about AMC.34, its a collectionary vehicle like Ha-Go. Im talking about awful cannons and (RB only) mobility of 1.0-1.3 tanks of France. For example, S.35, ACG-1 are awful due to their protection (D2 gives 2nd chances due to RHA instead of cast armor) that they can’t trade off with gun damage or penetration (Italy and Japan would be worse but they have APHE and HEAT which can post-pen something more than just 1 crew member’s coat).
Lol what a contradiction. Doesnt that literally say how overtiered japanese tanks are even tho you trying to say how fine they are? Killing chi-nu in sherman isnt about begin skilled or chi-nu begin unskilled. Chi-nu is simply worse in every way than same br sherman yet it remains at same br (not even talking about 105 mm sherman which is at 3.0 and is basically Maus at down tier - fr tho that thing should not be able to meet 2.0s with that armor).
