World of Tanks Type 61 - 7 Kills 8,7K Damage
Medals received: Oskin's Medal, Top Gun
The Type 61 is a Japanese tier 9 medium tank.
The first tank developed in Japan after WWII. It was developed from 1954 through 1961 on the basis of the American M47 tank. The dimensions of the vehicle were decreased and the armor was reduced. As a result, the weight of the tank was lighter, and the tank complied with the requirements of the Japanese armed forces.
Similar to its predecessor in multiple aspects, the Type 61 needs to keep its distance from the middle of the action as much as the STA-1 needed to (or even more). Paper-thin armor won't be surprising for Japanese medium tank drivers, however the lack of camouflage makes this tank significantly harder to play than its smaller tier 8 brother. You certainly don't want to expose yourself or get engaged in close combat by much better armored enemies, so stay back, and make good use of cover, at least in the first couple of minutes of the battle. This way you can take advantage of your nice DPM and conserve HP for the endgame. Keep in mind that the Type 61 tends to quickly become a primary target on the battlefield, due to its non-existent armor, dangerous alpha, and raw DPM potential. And driving a primary target that gets spotted quite easily may not be much fun, if you're not paying attention.
The Type 61 leads to the STB-1.
