I checked it on tanks gg, it does reflect the Japanese philosophy – lighter tanks suited to fight on mountainous terrain – but it won’t be suited for the average player
the hull armor is simply too weak
100mm lower plate
80mm upper plate
even at the line between what is and isn’t a auto-bounce, the effective armor is only 189mm
all HT-8s can pen that
it will be a “gimmick” tank in the sense that it will force players to use terrain and go hull down
city maps will be awful with it
I met a Type 63 in a battle in late September, but didn’t think there’s a ny point in locating and following him (he was in the enemy team).
