| Notes | The main difference between the 89A and 89B was the engine, with the 89B fitted with a diesel engine. This gave the 89B the honour of being the first diesel engined battle tank to be built in large numbers. Both models saw extensive action during the early phase of the war, but due to their slow speed and the availability of the more modern tanks like the Ha-Go and Chi-Ha, they were used in secondary theatres and roles. |
