This Tank Is A Land Battleship

The Japanese Ka-Chi is a somewhat rare event tank in War Thunder. It's special in that it has pontoons that turn it into a quasi boat. The pontoons give it a ton of extra survivability, and the cannon is quite potent.

This Tank Is A Land Battleship

[Spookston]

I should've used sea shanties as background music for this one

Speaking about the Japanese 47mm, for the longest time I've been saying how strong the Chi-Ha Kai is at 2.3. Insane gun, great reload, stabilized, 12 degrees of gun depression, meh armor, but good mobility.

The boat that’s more effective than the tanks around it

Your old 'Tanks that should be added to War Thunder' videos were always something I'd watch to see what Gaijin seemingly will not add because they're too focused on top-tier to care about WWII vehicles anymore.

I'd love to see another one in the future, as there's still thousands of vehicles out there to be pondered on.

I remember the glitch when this thing would warp and 50 metre tall towers grew off of it.

Could you make a video about historical inaccuracies at top tier? I see loads of people talking about the M1A2 SEP missing armour.

In the name of the guy at 5:20 I must say that it wasn't an iron cross. That was the emblem of the Romanian tankers in WW2. As a fellow Romanian, I also use it on my French and German tonks.

NOW WE NEED TO PLAY THE LAND SHIP SINKER! THE CHI-HA LONG GUN! :)

The Ka-Chi's survivability comes down to the pontoons acting as spaced armour, as well as there is a pressurized tube inside the hull which houses the crew, which also acts as spaced armour. Then there's the sheer number of crew which can make this thing a menace to kill sometimes.

I think it’d be nice if you played more French tanks :) the Mars-15 seems like a lil gargoyle

[RDILRCER]

I was blessed by the snail and received this from the ice cream SL boxes, it's brilliant fun. Playing it on Tunisia and camping the enemy-side bridge at C from the water is hilarious.

That fact that you missed that M3 GMC at 11:39 is AMAZING

[CZtuner]

The Ka=Chi also served in the Australian army, in the Pacific theatre. They had more than 20 captured Ka-Chi tank and operated them with the pontoons removed. Many photographs exist of this tank in Australian markings.

Gotta love that Garth Marenghi refrence

[hazloner]

I was wondering why I never had a problem with these things in low tier, normally when you play a tank I get flashbacks to fighting it with my swedish paper bag tanks. Then I remembered what shells low tier Sweden gets and realized I probably just accidentally 1-shotted these without knowing what they were.

[CasualSnake_D]

This was really good! You should play a lineup with this and maybe some other Japanese tanks that get the 47. Maybe throw in a cas for flavour

[Laptop]

Imma keep it real with you, I don't even play war thunder anymore (for a multitude of reasons) but you are the rare WT channel I stayed subbed to. Your videos are plain enjoyable.

Spookston: complains about too many aircraft in tank game
also Spookston: plays boat in tank game
... yeah, okay buddy

[Noharris_]

I’d love to see spookston play the Pz III N at 3.0, would definitely be cool to see.

My favorite part about this thing is that the pontoon on the front (not sure about the rear) will also stop most heat shells because of how much internal space it has too.
