In World of Tanks, heavy Japanese tanks invade with patch 9.10. Wargaming affectionately calls them “sumo wrestlers.”
Immediately, 9 heavy Japanese tanks make their debut with patch 9.10. They will be encountered at almost all tier levels, which is expected to make the game overall smoother and more varied.
With the “sumo wrestlers,” one should not expect to be the first at any point on the map, but instead, one will roll carefully, heavily armored, and then clean up. The Japanese heavyweights are exactly what one imagines a “heavy tank” to be: slow, extremely heavy, and quite unstoppable.
What else changes in patch 9.10, such as map availability, onboarding for new players, and team battles, you can read directly here at Wargaming or you can watch the trailer:
