Type 95 Heavy Tank

[OFW_Schroedinger 804]

I informed myself about Japanese Heavy Tanks for a while and thought the Type 95 Heavy Tank would be a nice premium Tier I tank.

Open for discussion.

I support this, but Type 95 would suit regular tech tree much better. Maybe as a starter tank of heavy tanks line.

The photo you have is not type 95, rather the experimental chi-i tank

Here's the type 95 heavy :

For someone making a suggestion, the least you could have done was not post a picture of the Experimental I tank.

I could totally see this thing going toe-to-toe with the t-35 and the other multi turreted tanks.

 

You have my support

i'm all for it. well documented, pictured and sourced too.

 

it could only hope it to be researchable but seeing as this fits perfectly alongside the T-35, A1E1, and neubaufahrzeug multi-turreted designs, it's more likely to be a premium.

Same, gaijin could probably add the experimental 1 tank, type 91 and type 95 for a tier 1 to early tier 2 line, and below all of them in tier 4 there would be the O-I :3
