U70700875: /* Survivability and armour */

{{Specs-Card|code=cn_type_97_kai}}

== Description ==


The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Chinese light tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.91 "Night Vision"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
''This tank has little to no armour, so is usually destroyed in a single shot, however at long ranges you will be able to survive multiple because the penetration drops off and the "no armour is best armour" rule comes into play.''

=== Mobility ===
''This tank is sluggish for its BR and has a really bad traverse and reverse speed. Its just plain slow.''

== Armaments ==
=== Main armament ===
''At the BR, the gun is not bad, it has good post penetration effects but seriously lacks penetration that some other tanks have.''

=== Machine guns ===
''The Chi-Ha Kai has a MG mounted to the turret which can not penetrate most tanks at its BR, but a few open topped vehicles will be a great target for MG fire.''

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===
''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

'''Pros:'''

== History ==
''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template.

A6M2 (China)

2019-11-12T16:10:15Z

U70700875: I guess I edited quite a bit, considering there was nothing here before.

{{Specs-Card|code=a6m2_zero_china}}

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]
{{break}}
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium rank {{Specs|rank}} Chinese fighter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.93 "Shark Attack"]].

== General info ==
=== Flight performance ===
''This aircraft is a copy from the A6M2 from the Japanese tech tree, it has really good turning and maneuverability, is able to accelerate fast, has a good climb rate and is known for being the best turn-fighter at its BR with the cost of being very weak in terms of armour protection against enemy fire. This aircraft also has a slow top speed, but is still very competitive with other fighters at its BR.''

=== Survivability and armour ===
''There is close to no survivability on this aircraft. A stray .50 cal can burn down your plane. The structure of the plane is good, except that the plane burns in the front, quickly killing the pilot. It has armour behind the pilot, however.''

== Armaments ==
=== Offensive armament ===

{{main|Type 99 Model 1 navy (20 mm)|Type 97 navy (7.7 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 2 x 20 mm Type 99 Model 1 navy cannons, wing-mounted (60 rpg = 120 total)
* 2 x 7.7 mm Type 97 navy machine guns, nose-mounted (680 rpg = 1,360 total)

=== Suspended armament ===

{{main|Navy Type 97 Number 6 (60 kg)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

* Without load
* 2 x 60 kg Navy Type 97 Number 6 bombs (120 kg total)

== Usage in battles ==
The best tactic to use in this aircraft is to sneak up behind your enemies and use your excellent turn rate to your advantage, something that most other fighters don't have at the BR. The most dangerous enemies in this aircraft come from above, Boom and Zoomers will reign fire from above if your are not careful.

=== Pros and cons ===
'''Pros:'''

* Excellent turn rate
* Excellent roll rate
* Superior climb rate up to 4,500 m
* Decent cannon armament
* Nimble, your opponents will have a hard time hitting you
* Extremely maneuverable
* Very good at catching enemies off guard
* Can out turn almost all enemies at its BR range
* Tail hook enables it to land on carriers
* Very short takeoff distance

'''Cons:'''

* No Armour and no pilot protection
* Limited 20 mm cannon ammo
* 7.7 mm machine guns don't really do any significant damage
* Guns have different trajectories, you need to get really close to targets to be effective
* Attacking bombers is one of the worst jobs for the Zero, as it is easily damaged by their gunners
* Although it can carry bombs, it's just absurd to equip them to the Zero
* Slow in a straight line
* Strictly limited to the air-to-air role, although it performs exceptionally in it
* No self-sealing fuel tanks and the plane is littered with fuel tanks, will ignite and burn to death quite often
* Can easily be countered by just doing simple Boom & Zoom as the Zero lacks adequate energy retention
* Low dive speed, and easily compressed in a dive
* Has lots of bars inside the cockpit, limiting visibility
* Prone to ripping at high-speed manoeuvres

*

== History ==
''n 1937, the Imperial Japanese Navy's Koku Hombu (Aviation Bureau) issued the "Planning Requirements for the Prototype 12-shi Carrier Fighter" to the Mitsubishi Kokuki K.K. (Mitsubishi Aircraft Company Ltd.) and the Nakajima Hikooki K.K. (Nakajima Aeroplane Company Ltd.), requiring designs for a new fighter to replace the Mitsubishi Type 96 Carrier Fighter (A5M). The requirements were extremely challenging: manoeuvrability equal to or better than the Type 96 fighter, heavier armament including 20 mm cannons, exceptional rate-of-climb to intercept bombers, a range of at least 1,010 miles with a normal fuel load to escort bombers, a take-off distance of less than 230 ft into a 30 mph wind, landing speed of less than 67 mph, and a top speed better than 310 mph.''

''Nakajima soon bowed out in the face of such seemingly impossible requirements, but Jiro Horikoshi, who had previously designed the A5M, and his design team at Mitsubishi were undeterred. In addition to the already demanding requirements of the IJN, Horikoshi was also limited by the relatively weak engines that the Japanese aviation industry had to offer at the time. Selecting the lighter but less powerful Mitsubishi Zuisei-13 ("Holy Star"), which had a rating of less than 900 hp, the Mitsubishi team strove to design the lightest possible airframe around the engine, but that was still strong enough to withstand carrier operations and carry enough fuel and weapons to be an effective fighter. To this end, they were fortunate that the Sumitomo Metal Company had just finished developing a new strong zinc-aluminium alloy known as Extra Super Duralumin (ESD), allowing thinner sheets to be used for the skin of the fighter without loss of strength. However, they also had to dispense with self-sealing fuel tanks and any sort of armour for the pilot. The relatively light but less powerful Oerlikon FF 20 mm cannon was chosen as the fighter's main armament, produced in Japan as the 20 mm Type 99. A large wing ensured a low wing loading to ensure maneuverability but limited the diving and level speeds.''

''The first flight of the Prototype 12-shi carrier fighter (later designated A6M1) took place on 1 April 1939. The next month, the IJNAF expressed its intentions to switch from the Zuisei-13 to the more powerful Nakajima Sakae-12 ("Prosperity") 14-cylinder radial engine, and it was first installed on the third prototype. This prototype would be designated as the A6M2, and it was with the Sakae radial engine that almost every model of the A6M fighter family would go to war. Testing of the first three A6M prototypes took place later that year. The A6M1 was able to meet all but the maximum speed requirements, but the Sakae-equipped A6M2 exceeded them at 331 mph. On 31 July 1940, the Mitsubishi A6M2 was formally accepted by the IJNAF as the Type 0 Carrier Fighter Model 11.''

''The A6M2 proved itself during combat in China. The aircraft also performed well during its carrier trials. One problem that did quickly arise was its ability to fit on carrier's elevators. The solution was to have the A6M2 fold its wing tips to avoid damage. This reduced the total wingspan by 20 inches. This change required it to have a new designation. The aircraft was put into production in November of 1941 and a total of 740 were constructed. This particular variant was code-named "Zeke 21" by Allies.''

U70700875: Changed a totally wrong thing in Pros/Cons

{{Specs-Card
|code=ah_1s
|store=6882
}}

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|620px|thumb|left]]
{{break}}
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a gift rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese attack helicopter {{Battle-rating}}. In addition, the '''{{Specs|name}}''' is the first vehicle in the game to feature a female flight crew. This helicopter was introduced in [[Update 1.89 "Imperial Navy"]].

== General info ==
=== Flight Performance ===

The AH-1S is a single turboshaft T53-L-703 power plant, it provides up to 1300 BHP & 210 Kgf with a mass of 350 Kg. This turboshaft engine is able to push the AH-1S to speeds in excess of 277 km/h whilst carrying wing mounted armaments.

|-
|}

=== Survivability and armour ===


The AH-1S is an armoured attack helicopter offering protection to the crew and engine:

* Composite boron carbide seat enclosures, for both of the crew, with a thickness of 20 mm.
* A steel seat, which offers a thickness of 12 mm for the pilot only.
* Steel plate covers, offering 12 mm of thickness over the turboshaft engine.

The AH-1S compensates with its small and nimble size compared to the [[Mi-24_(Family)|Mi-24 Hind's]] which are incredibly well armoured but are huge and slow in comparison. However, the AH-1S does not protect all of its critical components, such as: fuel tanks, transmission, propeller shaft & control surfaces with armour plating. Nor does it have armoured glass installed around the cockpit.

== Armaments ==
=== Offensive armament ===

{{main|M197 (20 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 1 x 20 mm M197 cannon (750 rpg = 750 total)

=== Suspended armament ===
[[File:AH1S_Arm.jpg|320px|thumb|right|The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' In-flight, Being redirected to a combat zone]]

{{main|FFAR Mighty Mouse|BGM-71 TOW|M134 Minigun (7.62 mm)}}

The AH-1S offers a wide range of choice for secondary armament, up to 12 choices:

*Without load
*28 x FFAR Mighty Mouse rockets
*76 x FFAR Mighty Mouse rockets
*2 x 7.62 mm M134 Minigun machine gun
*2 x 7.62 mm M134 Minigun machine gun & 14 x FFAR Mighty Mouse rockets
*2 x 7.62 mm M134 Minigun machine gun & 38 x FFAR Mighty Mouse rockets
*4 x BGM-71 TOW missiles
*8 x BGM-71 TOW missiles
*4 x BGM-71 TOW missiles & 38 x FFAR Mighty Mouse rockets
*8 x BGM-71 TOW missiles & 38 x FFAR Mighty Mouse rockets
*4 x BGM-71 TOW missiles & 2 x 7.62 mm M134 Minigun machine gun
*8 x BGM-71 TOW missiles & 2 x 7.62 mm M134 Minigun machine gun

== Usage in battles ==

When playing the AH-1S, select the helipad which is in the ideal tactical location for your playstyle. Climb to around 1,500 meters, find a target, then descend on to them. For optimal effectiveness, it is important that you engage them from the rear of the side. As pilots primarily scan in front of themselves for targets, attacking from behind will give you the advantage of not being seen. When shadowing the target, approach as fast as possible to close the gap to within TOW range. After slowing, engage the sight stabilizer and fire the TOW missile and guide it to the target.

If the target tries to evade, keep the missile on the target and adjust to counter any manoeuvres your adversary may attempt.

Perhaps most importantly, if out of TOW range, the missile will self-detonate and could give your position away, if your adversary is attentive and sees the explosion.

{{Notice|Remember you only have around one and a half miles before the missiles will denote by them self, you can only select to carry either 4 or 8 BG-71 Tow missiles.|!}}

After gaining experience while playing with the BGM-71 missiles, you will be able to determine when you are within range based on that experience. This also applies to any other type of missile in the game too.

When engaging in close quarters combat with other helicopters, the biggest threats are air to air missiles- The AH-1S does not offer any protection against them with countermeasures such as flairs or IRCM. This means you need to stay alert, active & on the lookout for fast moving dots. If you see a small fast dot heading towards you, make very sharp abrupt turns, change height at the same time while turning and rolling.
{{Notice|These are the biggest threats to you in battle since they can carry air-to-air missiles|!!}}

*[[AH-1Z|AH-1Z Viper]]
*[[Mi-24P|Mi-24P Hind]]
*[[Mi-24V|Mi-24V Hind]]
*[[SA.341F_Gazelle|SA.341F Gazelle]]
*[[SA.342M_Gazelle|SA.342M Gazelle]]

{{Notice|You may even be able to shoot down missiles with the installed 20 mm triple rotary M197 cannon.|!}}

When engaging other helicopters, the triple barrel rotary cannon makes short work of any adversary. Make sure to load it with the air target belt, aim for critical elements of the rival helicopters such as cockpit, engine and fuel tanks. If you have equipped your helicopter with the additional twin M134 miniguns, bring your target in front of you and open fire. They will obliterate the target and send a flaming wreck to the ground. The fast fire rate will chew through ammo at a rapid rate, but when fully loaded have 3,000 rounds in total. That’s 1,500 Rounds per mini gun, in addition to the 750 cannon rounds for the M197, potentially up to 3,750 rounds total!

====Ground forces====
[[File:AH1fS_Gunner_view.jpg|620px|thumb|right]] 

Playing the AH-1S in ground forces, it is recommended to load up the 8x BG-71 Tow missiles & 38x FFAR Might mouse missiles. The BG-71 will give you the penetration at range in order to terminate tankers and with safety from the Anti-Aircraft Missile equipped anti-air vehicles. It is a wise tactic that Anti-Aircraft Missile equipped anti-air vehicles to be terminated first. Then once terminated, move into the battlefield and dominate the tanks with the 38 x FFAR Might mouse missiles, which can cause a lot of damage and could potentially terminate up to 38 tanks with well-placed shots.

The ideal tactic is to utilise the helicopter and the terrain. Such as maps which have forests and lots of tree lines, stay low over the trees and select your targets based on the threat to yourself first, then the impact to the team.

For example, if you have seen no enemy SPAA vehicles or other helicopters, climb in height, hover, then fire one or two missiles. Then quickly break off the hover and move to another part of the map, this way it allows you to stay undetected, remain stealthy and become a major threat to the enemy team.

Handling radar and Surface to Air missiles, when an enemy missile equipped SPAA is achieving a lock on, you will be notified with red arrows on the screen saying radar. To break the lock start rolling, gaining speed and the arrows will go away. If you are not successful, keep a close watch around the helicopter. At this, you will see white smoke coming from the ground, make very sharp abrupt turns. Change height at the same time while turning and rolling to avoid the missile.

{{Notice|Keep a close watch out for aircraft and other attack helicopters!|!!!}}

U70700875: I added to the pros and cons

{{Specs-Card|code=jp_type_2_ho_i}}

== Description ==


The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese medium tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced with the rest of the Japanese ground forces tree with [[Update 1.65 "Way of the Samurai"]]. It follows the Chi-Ha Kai and precedes the Chi-He.

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===

The armour on the Ho-I, while being an upgrade over the Chi-Ha Kai - 50mm at the turret and hull front, compared to 32 on the turret and 25 on the hull for the Chi-Ha Kai, is still insufficient to stop most shells at a comparable rank. The internal modules aren't the most resilient, as the turret is rather cramped, stuffed with ammunition, the rather small cannon breach, and 3 crew members. A single APHE shell will almost invariably kill all the turret crew.

The armour consists of rolled mostly homogeneous armour, with cast homogeneous surrounding the gun barrel, protruding from the turret.

=== Mobility ===
''Write about the mobility of the ground vehicle. Estimate the specific power and manoeuvrability as well as the maximum speed forward and backwards.''

== Armaments ==
=== Main armament ===
''Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibilty of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: <code><nowiki>{{main|Name of the weapon}}</nowiki></code>. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.''

=== Additional armament ===
''Some tanks are armed with several guns in one or more turrets. Evaluate the additional weaponry and give advice on its use. Describe the ammunition available for additional weaponry. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage. If there is no additional weaponry remove this subsection.''

=== Machine guns ===
''Offensive and anti-aircraft machine guns not only allow you to fight some aircraft but also are effective against lightly armoured vehicles. Evaluate machine guns and give recommendations on its use.''

==Usage in the battles==
''Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

Do not use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - they have a substitution in the form of softer "inadequate", "effective".''

'''Pros:'''

* 75 mm cannon can do respectable damage against other vehicles
* Improved armour in comparison to prior tanks
* Early access to HEAT rounds with good penetration

'''Cons:'''

* Stock grind is terrible with about 40 mm of penetration on stock APHE which won't do much initially at the comparable battle rating
* Poor turret rotation speed
* Armour still inadequate to block tank shells or 20 mm autocannons firing HVAP from the front
* Slow traverse speed
