The Type 95 Heavy is a Japanese tier 4 heavy tank.
The Japanese Type 95 heavy tank was based on the Type 91. This multi-turret vehicle of the interwar period incorporated some elements of German and Italian tanks. The primary turret featured a 70-mm gun. In addition to that, the vehicle had a 37-mm gun and two 6.5-mm machineguns. Four prototypes were built.
The Type 95 Heavy marks the end of its Japanese heavy line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Stock gun's HE rounds have better penetration than AP rounds
- Top gun has good penetration, damage, and rate of fire
- Lower glacis is an instant ricochet if shot at from the front
- Never sees tier 6 tanks
- Small turret and great gun depression
Cons:
- Very thin all round armor, 35 mm at most
- Limited gun depression over extra turrets (although somewhat better than the previous-tier Type 91)
- Poor penetration with stock gun overall
- Both guns have arching trajectories and slow projectile speeds- Type 91 at tier 3 has arguably-better top gun
- Poor mobility along with large size
Performance
This tank, when fully upgraded, can be very fun to play in a Tier IV match. While it has a low top speed, it has excellent traverse speed for a heavy tank. The 7.5 cm gun is also very good for brawling, especially in bottleneck situations such as "Tank Alley" in Himmelsdorf due to its high rate of fire, good penetration, and great damage when using the High Explosive round. But, due to the paper thin armor of this tank all around, it can be hit very hard by a he shell, exp. tanks that have a howitzer, say the American t40, the German JagPanzer 38 t (normally known as the hetzer),or spgs. For this reason, in a tier 5 match, it is not really effective, so try to seek foilage or a rock face, or you could use a tank like the oi exp as a meat shield. Also, in a tier 5 or higher match, you should your tank in a support role. For example, hide behind a bigger tank and then pop out every once in a while to tank a shot. That way, you are useful, and you are not dead at the same time. If you are in a top tier situation, you can use the strategies that fit you most, say a full-on brawler, or a passive sniper, or both. All on all, the tanks effectiveness just depends on what tier you land.
Early Research
The Type 96 Mk. 4 Bo carries over from the Type 91 Heavy, and should be installed immediately. Next, upgrade to the BMW IV Kai Ni to receive much better acceleration. From there, get the Type 95 No. 2~4 Suspension to increase your mobility and then finally get the 7.5 cm Tank Gun Type 99 to get a much needed boost in penetration and damage. Then begins the relatively easy grind to the O-I Exp.
