Also better round and smaller silhouette
It’s matter, it give you a chance to take the second shot. For example, type 90 in urban area might have the chance to strike first but due to it armour it cannot fail because enemy round can pen it easily, but T-80 you can just hope the enemy miss their shot or taking time to aim precisely and giving you time to take yours shot
the type 90 shreds the T80 reckon about 7 out of 10 engagements bud . used both quite a bit and the type 90 absolutely shreds lobbies, especially now the Fuji is there so people can buy into it. 4 second reload with JM33 is no joke man, sure it aint got 300 pen at 60 degrees but its still what the second fastest MBT in the game?
Why do i keep seing these pop up everywhere? No the 90 is not OP, it’s a good tank, but not OP, its also definetly not a weak tank, but it should not move up or down as it would only hurt the tank by a lot or make it one of the best tanks at top tier, thats the problem with compression, blame compression not the tank.

Why does nobody mention the other 11.3 premium pack, the Merkava mk3d? Because it’s garbage, that’s why.
Have you played the Type 90? the grass isnt always greener (Dont know how to check player statistics via forums)
No I haven’t, the only thing I know is that the Merkava 3 sucks.
Yes it probably does, but i can’t say that for sure, what i can say for sure is that yes the Type 90 is good, but really its just that, good. Its not OP or weak. Its a decent tank, great tank like all other tanks if used correctly. (Granted ive only played it stock but still a decent indication to what a tank is like)
It’s in a weird spot because of the 4 second reload, sometimes I see them dying first ,sometimes they destroy a whole team
Autoloader isnt particularly hard to take out, and their munition isnt that good, the Leopard2A4 has 410mm despite being quite a bit lower in BR for instance.
You also can’t adjust the suspension like on the type 90 nor get anywhere close to the reload without an ace crew, and when you lose crew that drops significantly… it needs to be 11.7 in this meta, it’s currently top br 90% of the time, I can’t think of any other 11.3 that wreaks havoc in games as much as this tank.
Suspension only gives you about the same as other tanks or maybe 12 degrees of gun depression, but more of the time it’s situational, and about half of maps are CQB anyway. If you tried Japan yourself you would see, stuff in test drive isn’t always the same as it is in a match (if you’ve only test driven the FUJI for reference)
Got 3 of them (if you include the tkx p)
They are proper good tanks to be fair mate.
Only flaw i can put to it is the optics, the round, providing you actually know how to aim is substantial enough, along with a 4 second reload.
Again as well you only used to see them occasionally due to the fact not many people wanted to grind out japan, now they are a buyable vehicle, so anyone can access them.
Evem a half decent player can pop off with it.
The JM33 is is far better than dm23 due to the angled pen being over 50mm more.
In game the type 90s do pretty good in some.of the cqc maps due to being so mobile and capable of flanking.
Only reason i stopped using them was theres no point as the tkx and type 10 are on their own at top tier.
Yeah but for 410mm at 10.7 is one of the better rounds at that BR and performs fine. JM33 is just meh. Postpen is decent but nothing too special

I think its because of the shorter reload, it gives them more leeway to make mistakes, despite the lesser armour, and a lot of avarage players tend to flock to the flanks so the tanks natural advantage shows

One of the better rounds ?
Chinese round is better
Mango is far better
L26 is far better
The ariete gets a better round im sure as well.
Oh im not saying jm33 is 12.0 worthy round for example, but as it sits right now the type 90s in the handful of games i played seen more 10.3 games than 12.0 , granted that was before the most recent update. Which at this br the jm33 on a 4 second reload is insanely good.
While i dont think its like some chant its mega.op however i do feel it is under BRd where it sits right now.
I also want ground to go up to what ? 12.3 or 12.7 for more decompression which could accommodate these vehicles better allowing it to move up a half step.
