Is the Chi-Nu II an overpowered tank?
In my opinion, the Chi-Nu it is the Japanese Pz. IV F2 which trades off armour and an average speed for a gid-tier gun. It can be easily penetrated by nearly every tank and boasts only an average speed around 43 km/h though it is pretty agile. The gun itself is best used at long range, though it tends to have some difficulty with heavy tanks such as the Churchill, due to its high accuracy, high penetration, and large explosive filter that would disable if not one-shot your opponent. Due to its rare, but still slightly common, appearance most players tend to have trouble handling it due to not knowing the gun on it. However, as I have already mentioned it has weak armour (50mm front with a marginal slope) which makes it a terrible brawler.

Is it overpowered? No, its gun is god-tier but its speed is only average and its armour makes it a glass cannon.

What do you guys think of the tank, either from the experience of using it or fighting it?

Meh Pz.IV F2 is a world better than this tank. The only thing the Chi-Nu good at is its shells which have a butt load of TNT...

Pretty good comparison to the PZ 4 F2. I much prefer the Chi-Nu 2 though. Vulnerable to air though with its paper thin armour.
Good tank that i still use up to 5.3 with my ♥♥♥♥.

Also, if you want it, its part of the warbonds this month i believe.

Yeah, it also seems like a bit of an artillery magnet. At least it doesn't completely explode when it gets hit, I only see the engine being knocked out or the turret crew being killed.

I just started spading the Chu Nu the other day. Pound-for-pound the best 3.3 tank in game. Better even than the first Sherman. The gun on this thing is crazy good. I've never seen so many turrets pop-off as I have with this thing (I've been playing 4 years). I'll take it any day over the Panzer 4 f2.

They're both popular with the spawn campers, you know the sad ♥♥♥♥♥ with bushes on their tank in AB and start a match by driving directly to the enemy spawn, completely ignoring any objectives. Yep them two and any easy mode T-34.

I only recently got this tank, and its amazing
not only that its gun can pen most targets without much trouble, it also got a secondary gun that is perfect for short to mid side shots

I don't think you're talking about the Chi-Nu II.
