The Chi-He or Chi-To Late hulls are boxy and yet you should not angle either without hard cover. The hull shoulders become easy targets.
they’re angled more than on the Pz.IV. That’s another garbage analogy.
This is against M61 shot at 500m.

Mate. Just stop. You’ve already blatantly ignored the facts I presented earlier about the sides of the Pz. IV being too angled for the tank itself to be angled effectively, but I’ll put it here again:
The tank itself can only be angled at 12° before the sponson plates start to be less effective than the front plate. Once the tank is angled at 20°, the sponson plates become susceptible to most rank I vehicles. 30° and it becomes susceptible to all rank I vehicles that haven’t been removed. 40° and it’s on the brink of being able to penetrated by the Ha-Go.
You might be able to get away from 20° against newbies, but by 30° the side is a larger target than the front. 12° is the absolute best angle to maintain it, but that only increases the effective thickness of the upper frontal plate to a staggering 81-86 mm.

It’s not my fault that you don’t know how to angle.

You’re the one writing it, you should know.
If japan had the same amount of players as germany did it would be the same story, only people that bother with nstions other than the big 3 tend to not be new players. Hardly any one picks up the game for the first time and immedietly plays japan or france etc
Damn that’s crazy.
I have a free ace crew on it, earned over many games, and I can tell you that the side is very weak and cannot be angled without hard cover.
I always wounder how you play the game at the end. Are you running around with an protractor and measure the optimal angle like 40 deg, 30 deg, 12 deg lol. And how do you know where the next enemy will appear and when? If you always use perfect angling, you somehow must have a method to know in advance towards what position you have to angle. Especially funny on all these small maze like maps where enemy vehicles might appear from any direction, all of the sudden.
But anyways, I’ll just spawn my KV-1B for a good killing spree, while you’re angling your way to the bottom of the kill list in a trash tank.
