Here is the dope on the freebie tank... :nerd:
The Type 97 Te-Ke is a Japanese tier 2 premium light tank.
The Te-Ke was developed by Tokyo Gasu Denki to replace the
outdated Type 94 light tank. Manufactured from 1937 through
1942. The vehicle was used for reconnaissance, communication,
patrol duty, and infantry support. Served as an armored tractor.
A total of about 600 vehicles were manufactured.
Like the other Japanese tanks of its tier, the Te-Ke sports a
weak engine, a slow-turning turret, and practically no armor.
Though very vulnerable when exposed, with great gun depression
and a very small turret profile, the Te-Ke is a master of
concealment. When properly positioned, even a clearly visible
Te-Ke can make use of its powerful gun while being well out of
harm's way.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
Good accuracy and damage
Good gun
Great gun depression
Small turret profile
Cons:
Weak engine, resulting poor acceleration and difficulty knocking
down trees and walls
Practically unarmored (UFP so thin that's it's overmatched by
.50 cal machine gun rounds!)
Slow aim time
Slow turret traverse
Small crew (commander also fills the roles of gunner, radio
operator, and loader)
Performance
The Type 97 Te-Ke presents a different challenge to players used
to conventional light tanks. While most light tanks favor
fast-moving, aggressive flanking, the Te-Ke is a tank that needs
to be played with great caution. Though not particularly
unmaneuverable, the Te-Ke is slow to accelerate and has a
slow-traversing turret while still being very poorly armored. At
close range, the Te-Ke is easily outmatched by most tanks, and
further exasperating this is the Te-Ke's two-man crew. A dead
commander cripples the Te-Ke, as he is also the gunner, radio
operator, and loader. The small crew can also result in your
tank being knocked out from crew loss without losing all your
HP.
The Te-Ke has a number of strengths that greatly reward players
who carefully plan their positioning. One of these strengths is
its gun, which is the same 37mm gun available on the Ha-Go,
although considerably more accurate. With this increased
accuracy, the gun's good penetration and alpha damage enable it
to threaten even well armored enemy tanks at a safe distance.
The Te-Ke is also endowed with characteristic Japanese gun
depression, giving it 12.7 degrees of depression at the front
and 15 at the sides and rear. Its good gun depression makes it
possible for the Te-Ke to go hull-down almost anywhere where
there's a sizable hill. The Te-Ke's puny one-man turret is too
small for most tier II guns to hit reliably. Because of this, a
hull-down Te-Ke is true danger to almost any tank regardless of
whether or not they can see it.
Regardless of what equipment build a player chooses to use,
using an enhanced gun laying drive is strongly suggested. Though
ideally the Te-Ke is a stationary shooter, it has a very high
after-shot aim bloom and somewhat slow aim time. The gun laying
drive ensures that the gun is capable of sustained, accurate
fire.
When considering what to use for the remaining two equipment
slots, the key factor is distance. A Te-Ke player can decide to
either go hull down in a place where they will be visible but
have better chance of hitting their shots, or do so at a
distance where they won't be visible but will have a harder time
hitting shots. Should a player should choose to do the former,
they will find themselves ducking in and out of cover often.
Thus, the small aim bloom and aim time bonuses from vents will
come in handy as will the hard view range boost from coated
optics. Should a player chose to do the latter and stay
stationary a safer distance instead, the extra concealment from
a camouflage net and stationary view range bonus from binoculars
will be more helpful.
Suggested Equipment:
Enhanced Gun Laying Drive
Binos
Camo
Vents
Coated Optics
Due to a very small turret profile, the Te-Ke is a master of
concealment. When properly positioned, even a clearly visible
Te-Ke can make use of its powerful gun while being well out of
harm's way
