Similar to it's predecessor in some aspects, Type 61 needs to keep his distance from the middle of the action as much as the STA-1 needed to (or even more). Paper-thin armor won't be suprising for japanese medium tank drivers, however the lack of camouflage makes this tank significantly harder to play, than its smaller, T8 brother. You certainly don't want to expose yourself, or get engaged in close combat with much better armored enemies, so stay back, and make good use of cover, at least at the first couple of minutes of the battle. This way you can take advantage of your nice DPM, and conserve HP for the endgame. Keep in mind, that Type 61 is a primary target on the battlefield, since its armor is practically non-existant, but the tank itself can do a lot of damage, if isn't handled with providence. And driving a primary target, that gets spotted quite easily, isn't much of a fun, if you're not paying attention.
The <value_unset_error> marks the end of its line.

Performance
"Proceed with caution". It's the main motto of every good Type 61 driver. Since your bad camo, and miserable armor, you're forced to rely on using cover as much as possible. In the first half of the battle, try to stay behind the heavies and other meds, and support them with your dangerous, though sometimes tricky-behaving gun. You have the mobility to change position often and swiftly, and make good use of the superior gun depression, but try to avoid close-combat, since every incoming shot will hurt you bad, beside the constant module and crew damage. Once the heat of the battle settles down a bit, you can move up to surprise, and execute busy enemies with some flanking guerilla action. Remember, Type 61 is not a brawler med, and will almost never come out of melee with other T9 mediums on top.
