About
Japan is one of the nations in Tankery and the most recent added. Their tanks mostly consist of excellent firepower, good speed, and fast turret traverse. However, most tanks suffer from their low armor, similar to those of the French tech tree. There are currently 10 Japanese tanks in-game in various colors of green.
Low Tiers
Japanese low tiers in Tankery are mostly small and light tanks. They give the player a rather small profile while giving out good speed with an exception of the Chi-Nu. The downsides of most of these tanks come from their thin armor and a somewhat lacking in firepower.
Mid Tiers
Japanese mid-tier in Tankery consist of tanks with good firepower and good maneuverability. This does, however, come at the cost of usually lacking good armor protection.
High Tiers
(Currently only the unobtainable STB-1) The high tiers, like all the other Japanese tanks, lack good armour. In exchange they have great maneuverability and gun performance.

Trivia
- Due to Japan being a Naval Power, tank development was simply not of major importance.
- Japanese tanks during WW2 were designated by their intended type. For example, the term Chi in Chi-Ha, Chi-Ni, and Chi-Nu means "Medium Tank" while the words after the designation determines what model it is.
- The STB-1 is no longer available as of January 2018.
- Japan is currently the only nation with no Tier 5 tanks.
