Apparently the tank was added to in-game files in their latest patch. It could still be a "crate tank" (Blitz has some crate exclusive tier 9-10s or something), but considering the top tier vehicle of the branch was already confirmed to be the Ho-Ri, I think it's safe to say this will be the tier 10 of their branch.
Confirms a couple of things:
And now the stats (probably preliminary so could change). Keep in mind that Blitz has different damage, HP etc. values but it should give some direction that what the tank might look like on PC if it appears here as well. Also, the site automatically puts in some crew skills and equipment on default, remove those and it should give a more realistic view that what the stats might look like.
Armor

Overall, the armor is pretty bad, 250 flat casemate and upper plate as well as weak LFP. Side armor is nothing special, either. Will repel HE, LTs, lower tiers and MAAYBE same tier standard ammo from some tanks, but that's about it.
So in short, amazing gun with good pen and comfy handling, solid mobility but mediocre survivability. Best comparison is actually the old tier 10 Object 263; it trades quite a bit of armor for even better gun, more gun depression and closed top. That or Bobject that has amazing gun but much worse armor. I don't mind the direction Blitz took with it, could be interesting and I'd definitely be happy if it was something like this on PC as well. Seems fun. That being said, stats are subject to change and if it appears on PC it might be nothing like this.
One thing that interests me though that if this is the tier 10 (it should've been tier 8 with sloped armor variants filling tier 9-10 slots), then what the hell is picked for tier 7-9 slots (line is confirmed to be just tier 7-10 on Blitz, probably the same case on PC as well). I guess the casemated Chi-Ri TD will make an appearance there…or maybe the Ji-Ro? Remains to be seen, I'm hella curious how the line turns out on Blitz, even if it's just…Blitz.
