The Ho-Ri should be primarily played as a medium to long range sniper. Your potent cannon can dispatch most enemies and the thick frontal armour will stop most shots, especially the UFP which is basically an auto-bounce zone. Be careful in close quarters - the Ho-Ri turns quite slowly when not up to speed and an easy shot to the LFP will instantly eliminate your mobility allowing for an easy flank. Your surprisingly fast speed will also assist when getting to nice sniping spots, and the comically speedy reverse allows you to retreat when getting overrun. Note that your reverse is bugged and thus you cannot go past the first gear without either using a manual transmission or using your reverse cruise control.
 +
 
 +
Some concerning enemies are:
 +
* T-54 1947: This tank can be quite the pain to destroy, and if they are using the more advanced APHE shells found in the 100mm gun they can wipe out most of your crew in the mantlet. Your biggest chance at destroying them is through a trap shot or the mantlet at very close range.
 +
* AMX-50 Foch: Wielding a powerful cannon and heavy sloped armour, the Foch is a rare yet dangerous enemy. Aim for the gun.
 +
* T32: Though rare, this tank is completely immune from your gun in the front while it can still go through your lower plate easily. Shoot the barrel and either flank him or retreat.

Usage in the battles

The Ho-Ri should be primarily played as a medium to long range sniper. Your potent cannon can dispatch most enemies and the thick frontal armour will stop most shots, especially the UFP which is basically an auto-bounce zone. Be careful in close quarters - the Ho-Ri turns quite slowly when not up to speed and an easy shot to the LFP will instantly eliminate your mobility allowing for an easy flank. Your surprisingly fast speed will also assist when getting to nice sniping spots, and the comically speedy reverse allows you to retreat when getting overrun. Note that your reverse is bugged and thus you cannot go past the first gear without either using a manual transmission or using your reverse cruise control.

Some concerning enemies are:

  • T-54 1947: This tank can be quite the pain to destroy, and if they are using the more advanced APHE shells found in the 100mm gun they can wipe out most of your crew in the mantlet. Your biggest chance at destroying them is through a trap shot or the mantlet at very close range.
  • AMX-50 Foch: Wielding a powerful cannon and heavy sloped armour, the Foch is a rare yet dangerous enemy. Aim for the gun.
  • T32: Though rare, this tank is completely immune from your gun in the front while it can still go through your lower plate easily. Shoot the barrel and either flank him or retreat.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Heavy amount of frontal sloped armour
  • Can bounce anything when angled right
  • Everything under 7.0 is cannon fodder
  • Very fast with high acceleration thanks to its massive engine
  • High velocity cannon with decent penetration and high post-penetration damage
  • Very fast reverse speed
  • Good gun depression

Cons:

  • No neutral-steering.
  • Can get outflanked easily.
  • Often uptiered.
  • Can't use its amazing reverse speed without manual transmission or cruise control.
  • Mantlet is easily penetrated in close quarters, especially against sabot rounds.
  • Large weakspot in the LFP, resulting in a quick death to the mobility.
