the type 90 is broken, 5 second autoloader. decent pen and the main problem is buggy armour and a lack of internal modules making it act like og helicopters. u shoot it with 3bm60 m829a1 dm53 ect. it might pen 50/50 and if it does pen you will most lilley just get a commander kill. or the fuel tanks will eat your 600mm pen round. and the biggest problem is the fact that 10.3 lineups like the russian 10.3 face constant 99% of the time uptiers to 11.3 making them unplayable. same can be said about other 10.3 lineups to. it could be fixed if they went up a br or got more modules

thermals arent gen3, ~480mm isnt the greatest penetration stat(toptier has over 600mm penetration atleast) mobility is great but not outstanding, is a bit better armored than a leopard2a4(if you have a round with 480mm pen you can pretty much pen him everywhere, if your round used kinetic energy to penetrate). It is overall a pretty solid tank but its nowhere near as good as you think in a 12.0 uptier when you only shoot at leopard2a7´s, you actually have to aim at certain spots to even kill it. In fact most tanks require you to hit them at certain spots. And if your arguement is about the good armor on the tank I want the type 10 to be 1.0 bc it has many weakspots where even a bt5 can frontally pen the tank(funfact the bt5 has even a faster reload).

ur not seeing the blatant problems tho. 480mm of pen isnt bad at all u can pen anything in the game happily with that. the main problem is that rounds will sometimes just not spall at all, or just do any real damage forcing u to breach hunt it. and with it having literal 0 modules while every other top tier has heaps just makes it stupidly survivable. like i odnt think shooting my dm53 dead center mass and it just turning the commander yellow and setting it on fire is realistic. every other tank gets incapacitated from one shot by either the turret ring, auto loader or ect. but this thing the most your gonna do is the engine. because the turret ring is the size of a pea and like i said has infinite dead space. and another problem is the constant uptiers 10.3 faces because of it. moving it up to 11.7 wont do anything to its peformace. it already faces all the top tier and still does extremely well. and the 10.3 player base is suffering atm. go play 10.3 and play 10-15 matches and record how many were direct uptiers to 11.3 simply because of the pack prem spam. the other 11.3 pack prems are average and are easy to counter since they have modules and actually spall when hit. the type 90 on the other hand doesnt spall as much as it should and just doesnt have modules at all.
btw you can mg the type90 when you hit him somwhere above the cannon barrel. havent read that gaijin fixed it.

u can mg any tank in the game? theres clips of obj279’s is3’s ect getting killed my 7.62 mg’s
just saying you more or less an exact spot where it kills the crew
yeah which is a bug that only like 0.0000005% of the playerbase knows about
The problem for the matchmaking is the amount of people buy premium tanks at this br, and you cant do shit about it. Modules would be great for many vehicles, but there is probably a limit how many they can implement in a time. I would rather have some helicoper modules fixed than some tank modules. Firing no missiles when your hull is badly damaged is pretty stupid. The spall damage isnt calculated great either. And the spall arguement is also meh, I could also rant about leopard2a6-7´s eating all the spall, abrams which got frontally penetrated triggers no spall, etc…
and saying type 90 is op is not true otherwise I would take a 2nd type 90 into toptier and let my type16(9.7 with 405mm pen and gen3 thermals) in my hangar.(and the only reason why the type 90 is at toptier is only bc I dont want to spend 240k sl crewcost for the tkx(p)

yeah but moving it up to 11.7 wont do anything to its peformance. since it already faces 12.0 quite abit. and moving it up to 11.7 will save the 10.3’s from facing it with sub optimal darts that do little to no damage at all to it
it is op. like cmon, anyone who denies that is either a type 90 main who knows its broken but doesnt want it to change or theyre trash at the game and think it suffers. like cmon the most brainless lvl 10 console kid on a unstable 40 fps can pull of nukes in that thing.
when did the full uptiered stuff had good chances…
Dies to spike spam across the map or cas…
(I mainly play air)
what do you mean? ifd you meaning 10.3 faces 11.3 anyways your right. the diference is those other 11.3’s actually take damage 100% of the time when shot…
what argument is that? spike spam happens regardless and kills anything same with cas
If you genuinely struggle to pen a light tank cosplaying as a medium with more weakspots than an L3 then you might have to improve
The Type 90 is not 11.7 material. Its not moving up.
ive got countless replays where ive shot the type 90 with all sorts of darts that are penning over 500mm and it just eats them and takes no damage. and 10.3 darts dont do any damage really at all
At this point the problem is not the vehicle anymore. If you haven’t figured out that shooting specific spot won’t cause enough damage then don’t do that, learn to shoot. 3BM60, DM53 and M829A2 are more than likely to take out any Japanese MBT that it faced with ease.
It does faces battle rating 10.3 because how messy is and always be. Battle rating 10.3 and battle rating 10.7 are, and will be for a long time, popular battle rating which any battle rating 11.3 can take advantage of, the problem is also not the vehicle.
yes it is 11.7 material bro. i see more nukes at 11.7-12.0 from type 90s then i do with any others
