[Coming Soon]: Japan's new armor and naval chancellor!

A new era of Japanese armored vehicles of rank VIII: the prototype STB-1 and the new Type 74 main battle tank, the Type 87 RCV armored reconnaissance vehicle and the versatile Type 87 anti-aircraft gun! And then there's the first-class battleship Bismarck for those who are tempted by naval victories.

STB-1

The STB-1 prototype tank was the first big step towards the development of a second-generation main battle tank for the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. With similar mobility, the STB-1's protection against kinetic shells is greater than that of the German Leopard 1. The tank was equipped with an excellent 105mm L7 series gun and proved to be a dangerous opponent in battle

Type 74 mod C

To replace the obsolete Type 61 in 1975, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces received the new Japanese Type 74 main battle tank, technologically advanced and capable of a wide range of combat missions. The Type 74 mod C, one of the first production versions of the tank, has an accurate British-made L7 gun, very good mobility, and a dome-shaped turret that allows it the greater chance of ricocheting some kinetic shells.

Type 87 RCV

The Type 87 RCV wheeled reconnaissance vehicle is great for quick point captures, and the 25mm autocannon adds a good argument against other scouts. However, commanders should keep in mind the light armor and the rather high dimensions of the vehicle!

Type 87

To create a new self-propelled anti-aircraft gun for the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, engineers chose the Type 74 OPV chassis and Swiss-made Oerlikon 35mm automatic cannons. The high rate of fire and large caliber will be useful for both air defense and hunting enemy IFVs!

Bismarck (Rank IV)

The battleship Bismarck was one of the largest ships in history and the most powerful ship of the Kriegsmarine in World War II. The armor belt of the battleship reaches up to 320 mm thick, the ship has excellent protection from hits in all vital areas, while being able to move at an amazing speed for such a giant. The ship is armed with eight 380mm main caliber guns in four twin gun turrets. It is deservedly one of the best ships available to players in the game - no target is too difficult for the Bismarck and there are no enemies that would be able to quickly destroy this naval fortress!
