THE BEST IFV?! || Type 89 in War Thunder [1440p 60FPS]
The Type 89 is a rank VI Japanese light tank with a battle rating of 8.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update “Supersonic“.
The full name is known as the Mitsubishi Type 89 IFV (三菱89式装甲戦闘車), the Type 89 provides an autocannon weapon combined with an anti-tank guided missile for a diverse range of attack methods.
While the Type 89’s armour consists of rolled homogeneous armour, it is not any better than modern light tanks of other factions, which use double or even triple the amount of aluminium to give roughly the same amount of protection. This means that its sides and even angled turret will still be vulnerable to all autocannons and will trigger overpressure damage easily if hit in a weak spot, such as the back half of the tank.
