Top of the Tree: Type 5 Heavy

~ Sebastianul

The latest Top of the Tree special takes you along a Japanese heavy tank line that has not been featured in this special before. Explore the branch up to the monstrous X Type 5 Heavy and shock enemies with several mighty machines. Use the great discounts, missions, and bonuses to climb the Tech Tree and hit your opponents hard on the battlefield!

Type 5 Heavy

You’re in for a treat with this Top of the Tree. The Type 5 Heavy is a tank that simply cannot be overlooked—mostly because it’s as big as a barn! Conceived as a mobile naval fortress to defend the shores of Japan, this experimental project is huge, well-armed, and heavily armored, albeit slow and cumbersome.

The role of this colossus is easy to figure out: You are the team’s shield, with up to 270 mm of hull armor and 280 mm of turret armor, and a damage soaker, with a 150 mm beast capable of 2,700 DPM. You either lead the charge and draw enemy fire on yourself, or you block a strategically important position like a choke point and use your armor to keep the enemy from advancing. Remember that you are very slow, so choose the spot you’ll be most useful in battle very carefully—you most likely won’t have the chance to readjust your position later on.

Make your way up the Tech Tree from August 20 at 07:00 CEST (UTC+2) through September 20 at 07:00 CEST (UTC+2), and take advantage of great discounts and missions all the way to the top. Don’t forget that you have 10 days to purchase an extra boost if you want to speed things up!

    1. The line is still decent as long as you have any grasp on weakspot management, angling, and aren’t retarded enough to actually use the durp guns. Using the durp guns before the HE changes was dumb especially on the type 5 when the 14cm is absurdly good. Only thing it struggles with is really thick plates like the e100 turret and the casemates of some tds like the jpe and wz113, but besides that, it’s premium is on par with 330-340 heat thanks to normalization angles, while being able to pull off dumb pens on the sides of tanks unlike heat and apcr.
