Hello everyone!

We are glad to tell you that the weekly devupdates at friday are back! If this wouldn't be nice enough we announce that Japan will be in the game as a new multiplayer nation!

Propably you expected that from our previous released screenshot. To avoid disappointings or misunderstandings, Japan won't have an own campaign in the release version of the game. This decision was made, because of the players wishes for a new multiplayer nation with the name Japan, but singleplayer campaign voting was for other scenarios which needed a lot of new foliage too, so we couldn't do 2 new singleplayer scenarios. In the end we decided to give you the multiplayer nation you wished and the singleplayer scenario you wished!

Allright, so here comes the first 2 Japanese tanks we want to introduce!

Type 3 Chi-Nu

Chi-Nu was developed in 1944 in order to cope with the M4 Sherman. Its hull is the same as of Chi-He tank and its gun was converted from 75mm Type 90 field gun. Chi-Nu was deployed in Japan to prevent expected Allied invasion.
Armor: 50-8mm

Type 97 Chi-Ha Shinhoto

In order to improve the anti-tank capability of the Chi-Ha tank, a new turret mounting a high-velocity 47mm gun was loaded on the Chi-Ha chassis. "Shinhoto" means "new turret" in Japanese and is named according to the new turret design which was necessary for the new gun. Its first service in action was at Corregidor Island of the Philippines in 1942.
Armor: 25-8mm
