That’s fair. Japan was the First Nation I reach top tier in ground and air. It’s certainly got its painful points but it has some fantastic vehicles at other points. At this stage, I just play the vehicles I love.
As a Japan main since quarantine, I really do like all the attention Japan has gotten as of late. While I don’t have the Thai F-5, I have every single TT vehicle (besides naval), and I will say it is worth. The 11.0 lineup is really good (still quite annoyed that they put the Type 81 in a spot where there is nothing else), and it was the lineup I got my first nuke in. I just hope Japan gets more CAS options soon, because you have either the F-16AJ, the Thai F-5, or the AH-64DJP. That is it.
Lack of CAS makes Japan a very lackluster top tier experience, coupled with a lack of survivability to their tanks. Just so meh. MBTs: Decent mobility, best (but who cares?) reload rate, decent ammunition, bad commender's FoV. SPAAs: Hahaha 90% bad. Apache: Alright. CAS: Godawful. Aside from the Italians who only get one competitive top tier tank, Japan is the saddest top tier lineup. And they will NEVER get better CAS unless they absorb some minor nation into their tech tree, because (thankfully) Japan Self Defence Force.
@@MrTheWaterbearIt wouldnt be so bad if we could get Japans ASM's because they did have anti tank capability but im not sure how good the targeting is its hard to find that type of info and we need ASEAN tbh
You can drop the bomb normally without having to use the targeted point by binding a key to disable the target point (it might have a different name in the controls). When you use the targeting mode for the mavericks it locks you into ccrp instead of ccip mode and this keybind will disable the targeted point

Japan is so much fun 11.0+, there's quite a few lower br vehicles that are quite fun. I went to Japan from fully completing the British tree so it was nice to have the extra pen and mobility

@@matts2208 Pretty much, except of course the TKX has better protection (lack thereof) and gen 3 thermals. If only the TKX/Type 10 was faster than the Type 90 in game.

Can you play Bkan 1C in some video? Its swedish 155mm artillery cannon with 3.2 second reload time. I have it on my 10.3 lineup and it performs good. I like to think it as the big brother of meatball launcher (Spj fm/43-44) Oh it has proximity rounds too.
