Yep, I agree with pretty much everything. One thing that I find especially annoying is how bad the transmission feels when using low gears. If you're fully stopped, going up a hill it will be almost impossible. This is not the case with other 8x8 wheeled vehicles even when they have a lower power to weight ratio. And of course, the horrible shell. I hate the XM-1 because of it (Hit, hit, hit, hit, hiiiiiiiiiiit). Very good as usual, also, not related to the Type 16 but as a note for you Sako, the "new background music" sound very cachy. Great change.
Something in me spazzed hearing the Maneuver Combat Vehicle referred to as an Infantry Fighting Vehicle. I dare you to find a spot for passengers in this literal wheeled tank (developed specifically as a rapid transport replacement for the Type74, expected to fight Chinese MBTs)
The dart lets it down a bit, but I'm really happy with it! Edit: I'm not going to mention how long I owned and hated the XM-1 before I realized WT reset my ammo preference somehow and I was shooting APDS. For a LONG time. The amount of shit my Nephew gave me when I realized it while we were playing was pretty epic. LOL
I had a soft spot for the XM-1 and somehow I did very nicely on the XM-1 but I did super poorly on tanks such as a Leopard 2pzbtl, I don't know why but I feel better on faster and lightly armored tank such as these. I think that the Type 16 is really nice and even though the APFSDS is not as good, it's still really good unless you just point and shoot, the best part about this vehicle is probably about it's speed.
After grinding the Italians getting this thing felt pretty similar to the Centauro But now that br changes happened and it stayed at 8.7 it feels so nice.
Type 93 is a good SPAA (I am closing on a 2K/D with mine with 100s of games)....the Ozelot is superior to it now as that one has a full IR Search ability too. My biggest gripe with the Type 93 is that it is too fast for its own good and you will frequently end up spinning out of control, while it doesn't have IR Search (Track only) the seeker is now very large so you can twirl that around in 3rd person view - knowing where the air/heli spawns are is very important. When firing missiles wait for the target to be low energy after a turn or blindly heading straight towards you. If the enemy jet gets within 1.5km then the missile will rarely hit. Always try to get a rear shot 😉 Helicopters are different...you get a lock then splat them. If you need a player friendly SAM Launcher then I would recommend the Ozelot in Germany, Machbet in Israel (The 20mm backs up the 4 Stingers) or the Santal for France that has 12 Mistrals (Better G Load and Range) and a RADAR to help. Its wheeled too and is Amphibious. The LAV-AD is good too but is a higher Br of 10.0
Japanese top tier lacks support vehicles: there are no light tanks, SPAAs or TDs over battle rating 9.0 It's a shame, cause Japanese modern MBTs, the Type10s and Type90s have the fastest reload for any MBT in the game which makes them a fun niche
@@lucasalcaraz2199 technicly can u use the type 16 still in top tier... meanwhile we have 2x the fastest tank in top tier (type 90) and 2 x more allrounded sidegrades (type 10). Theres no other nation as good in just run down 1 flank and kill 5 tanks + at once.
@@stevenhannweg1644 good luck using such worthless shell in 11.0 lmao it struggles hard in 9.3 now it's a pay 2 lose tank it should have stayed in 8.7 but even there it would be inferior to tam 2ip
You are seriously one of the few WT creators I actually still watch great work SAKO love ya
Perfect amount of seriousness and satire
Thank you both:)
Great tank, i have the tech tree one and i love it. Good mobility, amazing thermals and ok APFSDS.

Always enjoy watching the helicopters get blown out the sky.

Me personallt - I cannot wait for the Boxer to be added to the game, eventually. One of my favourite AFVs
Why is the top tier japan not worth the grind? Can someone explain that?

@@Dregomz02 the prototype, yes, the regular type 16 has the Typ 93 with 400 pen. Thats more then enough to pirce thru weakspots.
On that opening statement about newer premiums being 9.7 and above, the Italian/Spanish VRCC is another exception :( Minor Nations suffer :(
VRCC has DM33 and decent mobility so it's quite good
Good vehicle, but with a lineup that's very expensive to repair and constantly gets dragged up to the 9.7 hellscape.
Hey sako should I grind for the f16 AJ? I’m at tier one and wondering if its worth the grind
It's an F-16 ADF with a Japanese Camo, it's a good plane, best in the Japanese TT, I use it for CAS in ground rb
Hi, Type 16 FPS vs VRCC Centauro which one is better?
VRCC is a better tank, and has a better lineup at 9.0. id go VRCC mate
Wma or this ?
Wma
@@SAKOSNIPER thank you , i will wait for sales to get both or just the wma
it's now 9.3 with such weak shell it's meh at best like xm-1
just dont buy it I talk for experience its terrible
