New Japanese tier IX heavy tank: Type 68
Type 68 (HT, tier IX Japanese regular tank with two mechanics hydropneumatic suspension and cooling down of the gun).
The Type 68 comes equipped with hydropneumatic suspension, which enhances its gun depression / elevation angles (–8/20 degrees) from good to excellent (–12/24 degrees): This is very good feature especially for the well-armored turret when taking a hull-down position.
Also, this new Japanese brawler features another mechanic: new double-aiming mechanics, the gun cooling. Depending on the combat situation, this feature allows to choose the advantage of excellent damage per minute (2400 HP) at the cost of slightly compromised accuracy.
