Tank description:

The O-I Experimental is a Japanese tier 5 heavy tank.Development of this superheavy tank was initiated by Colonel Iwakuro from the Army Ministry of Japan. The project was carried out by the Mitsubishi company, therefore the vehicle became known as the Mi-To. In the army, the tank was designated the O-I. Details of the project are largely unknown.Once an extremely overpowered monstrosity with titanic alpha damage, almost medium tank levels of mobility (and insane ramming capabilities) and rather weak armor, the O-I Experimental is now toned down. It is now closer to that of higher tier Japanese heavies, having terrible mobility but very thick frontal armor - thickest of all tier 5 heavies. It also features a two sets of viable guns. O-I Experimental still has a fair amount of differences compared to higher tier Japanese heavies - exact opposite to what AP guns are at tier 6-10 (high alpha, poor DPM, gun handling and accuracy), the 7.5 cm gun has great DPM, gun handling and decent accuracy but lackluster alpha damage. The 12 cm derp gun has very powerful HEAT shells, but the HE is still not quite as effective as higher tier Japanese heavies. On top of that, it also has quite a few frontal weakspots unlike its bigger brothers; like KV-5, the miniturrets are weak, and the cupola is also weak. Nevertheless, the O-I Experimental is a meaty upgrade from the Type 95, still a strong tank and prepares the player for the rest of the line. The O-I Experimental was removed from tech tree and available for purchase as collector''s vehicles in the 1.8 update. It no longer leads to the O-I.The O-I Experimental marks the end of its Japanese heavy line.
