So there is a rumor floating around the kiddy forum that we may be seeing the Japanese Heavies soon. It kind of makes sense with the Ps4 rollout that they would want to appeal to the Asian market. Now on the kiddy forum there seems to be two lines of thought. 1. Oh shit! These thanks are broken over powered monsters and the mid tiers are ruined. Or 2. No big deal, just a big target to shoot at.
Now I don't play on the PC so I don't know much about what these Japanese Heavies will bring to the table. Please enlighten me.
All I know is that that Bert is really looking forward to additional Tog size targets.

I'm looking forward to seeing them on the reds. The more I play, the more I value mobility and an accurate, high penetration gun. I really have no interest in driving around in The Emperor's New Heavies.

Tier II (?) to IV Are all crap, Tier V to VII Are stupidly broken IMO, above that they become less powerful. Everything Tier V And above is basically like the Mauschen (what was going to replace the Tier IX VK But got pulled back?); waaaay too powerful top tier, but become quite weak when not top tier (though less so than some other tanks in the same scenario).
Just a video from a friend showing how balanced the Tier V and VI Are.

I really have no interest in driving around in The Emperor's New Heavies. Me neither. I'd much rather be mobile. I guess that's why over 60% of my games are in lights and mediums.  |

Bert will bathe in the tears of the new heavies.
Bert shall rain down hate and discontent upon the nonbelievers.

From all account, they are crap until tier V, at which point they become comically OP when top tier until tier VIII, where they become crap again.
The only slow tanks I enjoy are TOG and the E-75 (and I'm not very good in the latter, tbh). Any more, I need speed -- I hate not being able to flex around the battle.

Well yes, arty and shooting their sides until they bleed. The Japanese for some reason only decided to have ass and face armour, their sides are alright if you sidescrape with it, buttttttttttttttt, it's not good when you can just aim flat and abuse it Another counter to them as to most heavies, fire gold. |

Everything I have heard about them (from a co-worker who plays PC) is that they are beasts. Personally I don't know if they will fit my style. If I ever try them, it will be later on, since I have multiple lines I am focusing on ATM. My main goal, if they come to XB, is figuring out how to fight them.

Note: the front R2-D2 turrets they have (ala KV-5s) aren't weakspots. Shoot the flat shoulders when possible (kinda like an IS-6) or front wheel (like you would an E-100).
They also have like zero gun depression and are so damn tall side hugging is a very viable option.

If they come, I will be loading the Knight up with a few more premium rounds.

Well the O-I's need only turn into the ELC and they'll do like 100+ damage to it. |

Check out Jingles' latest video -- the last game he features has a ton of the Japanese heavies ... and all of them apparently spent the morning before the match wolfing down big bowls of lead paint chips.  |

To me they look like free kills/xp piñatas. Yes they have armour and freaking dangerous guns but look at their gun depression and height. You can drive and E-25 and face hug one amd the tank can't hit you. I've seen it on the PC and it's hilarious.
