Same on both Type 90s. Spamming JM33 is truly fun and let you to potato some shots or even trick people to expose themself. It helped me a lot, the only thing i regret is the absence of the ESS (i know, JSDF do not have such equipment for their tanks), with such thing you can pull nasty tricks (as i do with my Merkavas and something with the Russian, mostly the T-80s)

i just hope that the type 10s gets their proper transmission at some point. currently ingame its about as mobile as the type 90. but in reality it should accelerate way faste for those that are wondering what the difference is. type 10 uses a CVT transmission that can change through a continuous range of gear ratios. compared to an automatic transmissions that provide a limited number of gear ratios in fixed steps.

I have a wishlist of Japanese vehicles, starting with Type 10 APS, STC-1/2 (135mm not mounted, but supposed to be?) Type 11 SAM, Chu MPM, STB-6, B78 IFV, Ka-To TD, O-I, Chi Nu Kai, M24 SS-11, Type 74 SPH, Type 74 G+, Chi-Se, Komatsu B78-105, Ta-Ha, SY-60, and a few others. For planes, I think giving the F-1/T-2 Chaff pods, and then gaijin could do its magic and make them chaff/flare pods, then giving them their guided stuff (ASMs). Then the Ki-201, Yokosuka Tenga, G10N, Fuji T-1, F-2A and B, F-15J Kai, Ki-91, S1A Denko, Ki-98, J8M, Kawasaki P-1, P-3J, XF-2A, and a few others that I have forgot. Oh and Fs-T-2 Kai, and 9Ls for the F-1 For helis I have heard they use a MH-60 with hellfires, and apparently I’ve also heard of cancelled plans to mount the OH-1 Ninja with ground attack ordnance.

They can introduce the Tan Sam II with the type 11 missile. It's on the same type 73 truck as the type 81 but can also be placed on the Toyota land cruiser like the type 93. The missile just like the type 81 has ir homing for terminal guidance and can be switched to semi active radar like the type 81 but type 11 has better capabilities and better eccm. It was intruded in 2014 so still pretty new but not that new. F2A and B models would be a dream. And although virtually nothing is known about type 10s APS it does have one hopefully more info on how it looks comes out and that can be added the type 96 mpm its an anti tank missile carrier in the toyota land cruiser with the ability to fire from behind cover.

Hyped to see this a week after getting to 11.7 Japan. The 11.0 and 11.7 lineups are so much fun with the suspension and 4s reloads. I actually didn't realize how little armor the Type 90s have or how wonky the 10/TKX armor is until seeing a Reddit post the other day. I survive just about as much as in the Swedish Leo 10.3 Leos sometimes. My one gripe is no SACLOS SPAA... the amount of time I spend staring at helicopters praying the stupid IR seeker finds it.... Ive also 100% had that issue with it not firing multiple times.

F-15s rip with a slight breeze above 18ish minutes of fuel. So be aware of that. And taking full internal fuel should be enough for an ARB, so like 20-30m might be enough for a GRB match. Love the videos! Just some tips.

The pain experienced during the grind payed off as soon i reached top tier japan

I will sub to your second channel just becaus You deserve it

I play Japan it was my first faction. To get to the top felt rough but being there now is the best feeling in the game.

I like the author's camo livery on the F16AJ

It would make sense if the type 90 maybe had spall liners but the type 10/ tkx shouldn't because Japan was really thinking of it's weight keeping it under 50 tons. That's due to the roads and bridges in Japan wouldn't be able to support it.

31:01 I think Gaijin should add the Southeast Asian tree with countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, and Vietnam inside.

Now that the Type 10’s are in (even with drastically reduced armor) and the AA problem has been fixed, top tier Japan is my favorite to play. I grind for SL in my top tier Japan lineup because I have unboxed so many talismans for them that it’s practically a goldmine. With the Type 10’s hydropneumatic suspension, going hull down in weird spots gets me a TON of kills.

It kills me to see justin bring out max fuel AND a fuel tank when hes playing purely CAP. 😂

As a Japan main who is grinding naval Japan, very happy

Every time a CC makes a video the background vehicle is having a stroke

I think the best experience i got from Japan were at (old) 9.0 with the Type 16 and Type 74, (old) 8.3 with Type 89 and Type 87 SPAAG, 11.3/11.7 with the Type 10s, and (current) 11.0. The last one, 11.0, was totally a blast with the Type 90s. I thought the grind would be miserable with the HEAT, instead in a bunch of game and thanks to both autoloader and suspensions, i reach the JM33 and start to have a lot of fun, even grab two nukes with both tanks. All their RPs went into the Type 81 (insane AA) and the TKX prototype, which i will buy with the sales and...if all of them are still at that BR, i'm gonna to put talismans on each one. I still think Japan deserve to be played for such moments, like Italy and even France, at some BRs there is so much potential for the players!

Don’t forget that suspension will save lives

Tried playing top tier. The pain of being useless and enemy charging you without anywhere to run when breach gets taken out I will never recover from

i love the type 10

Kind sir, pls share your Sound setting. Because damn i can hear where the enemy clearly just from your vid and Im amaze.

Japanese modern tanks kinda suffer due to their real life doctrine, very much like their ww2 designs (which were designed to be smaller and lighter so they could be used in forest and be transported by landing craft). Their modern tanks are designed as basically ambush vehicles, they would set up in a position where they would hide themselves and use their hydropneumatic suspension to achieve greater flexibility in positions in hills which Japan has a lot of. This means their tanks are typically designed with emphasis on not being shot at all rather than most other countries which have armor mostly as a backup. And this effects how they play in war thunder specially bc of how map dependent they can be, and gaijin doesn’t have the best map creation.

Love From Thailand, Justin

The only thing japan is missing are guided bombs and there are pictures of an F-4EJ Kai with these bombs (not to be confused with that JDAM picture since those were a mockup for testing) but even theres is proof of them being loaded in T-2s and F-1s

As a Japan main, the dozer on the TKX does really help. Since they made it so that the Type 10s have no frontal armor, that, dozer really does help a lot. Also, the fact they upped the BR of the Type 89 is so wrong, especially since they’ve nerfed it more than 10 times. I’m currently grinding France rn though, since Gaijin still refuses to give Japan guided munitions. The T-2 and F-2 both could carry IR guided bombs. Pretty sure the F-15J can carry JDAMs too. I have 2 go to lineups in Japan right now, that being 7.3 and 11.0, as they’re both powerful lineups. One more thing, I don’t understand why they don’t give the AH-64DJP a warning system. Sure, it didn’t have it in real life, but did you know Japan is the only nation that services stingers on its Apaches? That means, literally no other Apache in game should get stingers (except maybe America), yet they do. So I can only hope they give the DJP a warning system one day.

the type 93 is called the funvee, its just meant to fuck around in and have fun, thats it,

the amount of sl is outragous

Justin!! the AAM-3 is its own Japanese design, it's not an Aim-9M! (also gets 40G overload over the Aim-9M's 30G overload)

PLEASE revisit the 4 second reload Leopard!

i still enjoy the Type90s more, 11.0 so a lot more downtiers, and less uptiers since a lot of the 11.7 bracket gets sucked into 12.3-12.7 by people bringing jets, so uptiers are a lot less common, and when they do happen, they are still pretty decent with how speedy type90s are. That and the transmission of the type 10 hasn't been fixed, since they are RECORDED to accelerate faster than the type90s, and while are a lot better than in release, they are still lacking behind the type90s, and lose more speed while turning.

aint no way you killed that guy in the type-90 4 or 5 times

Hey justin can you do a video about the ah 64 A?

I only started the japanese tree that I'm grinding with my friend only. At first, it was one of the countries that I was least attracted to because I was never crazy about their WWII vehicles and didn't know much about their postwar vehicles. But having played them up to the 3.3/3.7 line up, I have to say that they're a whole lot of fun. Your armor isn't that great, but the mobility is okay and the firepower works. Some of their tanks have really amazing gun depression (-10 degrees!) which is so good to have for me as a soviet main! It's not an easy country, but it's a lot of fun for a somewhat experienced player. I would advise people to try Japan as their second or third country. They kind of need some finesse and map knowledge to make them work, but once you do, they are rewarding to play. With their WWII vehicles, outside the numerous derp guns that they get, you need to know where to shoot since they have weak penetration values though. It's also a pretty short tech tree, so you aren't stuck in it for a long time. As an additional advantage, the average japanese player tends to be of a higher skill level than your average WT player, so you aren't stuck with braindead players that ruin your game experience like some certain countries like Germa... *cough* and USA *cough*! :D Conclusion, they're really worth trying.

Japan top tier ground is a lot of fun. Sad you have no CAS options tho

in the type 90 game you killed that leo 2 (sankara) 2 times thn in the pt16 and the flarakrad he got atleast 4/6 deaths from you

im a japan main and top tier feels so much fun, but it would be nice if gaijin stop bullying everything and maybe consider giving japan some more love instead of non stop nerfing

My primary nation is Japan. I'm an Air player. Only level 57, GE and Fuji'ed to the top. Little experience or research. I suck lol.

They won’t get any later version of the F-16, they will get the F-2 though but I don’t think Japan has ever equipped them with any Paveways

I prefer the type 90 over the type 10. Type 90 is simply more mobile and doesn't lose a lot of speed when slightly turning. Sure there's a huge difference between the rounds but that doesn't matter if you're still aiming on weak spots on certain mbts.

The Mitsubishi f-2 doesn't carry GBUs, japan has adopted the JDAMs but those arent represented in war thunder sadly

The type 93 is not a very functional vehicle but that’s not why you should use it. It’s so funny to zip around the map and hit jumps in front of people. One of the most fun vehicles in the game

playing at 10.7 i seem to see 11.0 japan quite a bit, glad when theyre on my team. day 25 of asking Justin to play the HKP9

I pretty much just got the Type 10 and TKX, I mostly take only 16 rounds, how much do you notice with getting ammoracked if you take 18 or 20 rounds? Also Justin, the F-2 (Viper Zero) never carried GBU's nor Mav's. It only has JDAM's which can only be dropped against static targets, there is a single F-2 which got modified to carry the Sniper Targetting pod so it can drop LJDAM's (Laser guided JDAM) and those however can be used against moving targets. So we have to hope that we get South Korea as a subtree which do actually have Mavericks on their (K)F-16's
