Chi-Nu

Description
Japanese medium tank armed with a more powerful 75mm anti-tank gun. Excellent mobility and good main gun compensate for weaker armor.

History
Introduced in 1944. The most powerful of all mass produced tanks in the Imperial Japanese Army. Never used in combat due to Allied forces never invading the mainland islands.

Usage
The Chi-Nu is a big upgrade from the already good Chi-He medium tank. Despite having weaker armor than its contemporaries, it is much cheaper and is competitive in firepower. Like most Japanese units, it is well suited to playing offensively. Use the machine’s mobility to plug gaps in your lines or to flank enemy armor. Try to avoid head-on fights as much as possible. Unlike many vehicles, the Chi-Nu has superb gun depression, meaning the cannon can tilt very far down. Use this to peek over hills and shoot from relative safety.
