The IJN are gonna be fun... On one hand, those torps will fucking kill ANYTHING with extreme amounts of fuck you

On the other, liquid oxygen fuel tanks

And shitty guns

You could kill them with a practice round

The guns are what are most important imo

Torps are just kinda crap

Not for IJN

Their entire, highly-successful naval doctrine was based around lobbing torps from over the horizon

Compaired to German hv or heavy American shells no ijn sucks

IJN DD squads were brutally efficient

And Sneeki breeki

IJN actually used a nifty incendiary HE filler

Their HE shells literally melted steel with the fires they started

The Russians found that out the hard way when their capital ships were melting around them during Tsushima.

That won't be as effective in game sadly

Gee I wonder why

On another note though, ton for ton the IJN is going to brutalize the DD/CL tiers.

Even the CA tiers will be hard pressed to keep up with the IJN

But people will probably potato and use IJN Pacific fleet ships like Atlantic brawlers.

It's not like gaijin implement any vehicles very faithfully though

If they were any good irl, theyre going to get a BR related nerf

Nothing new for Japan tbh

Hence why you have KV-1s dicking around with tanks that can actually destroy them in the game, rather than bouncing every shot

Same for the Char B1

All of it is overtiered, underpowered, and overpriced in the Japanese tree.

Lol, the KV-1 would just get dicked on by StuG IIIs anyway if it faced historical opponents.

Ngl I struggle with how maneuverable lenny is so ijn is gonna be a hard shock

>15 kills with the 288 in a round
>Almost 200k lions without a booster
Christ this thing is broken

how much would that have been without prem

Premium time is +100%

And it being a premium vehicle is +100%

Good fucking god.

So I'm essentially running a 200% booster 24/7

jesus

Any other booster on top of that is just extra

Basically printing money.

^

oh sadmin did you get the lenny?

that thing is a fucking nightmare

I used a 500% SL booster when I was on a JU288 raping spree

So basically a 700% booster
