| Notes | The Japanese soon saw the need to develop a battle tank which could carry a high velocity 75mm gun. The Ha-Go and Chi-Ha had struggled to come to terms with heavier and more powerful allied vehicles and even the introduction of the Shinhoto Chi-Ha failed to address the problem. In 1943 a design was put forward to develop a tank to re-address the balance but this would take time, so an interim vehicle was proposed and this used a modified chassis of the Chi-Ha and mounted a 75mm gun. The main gun was the 75mm Type 3, which was a variant of the Type 90 field gun and was mounted in a revolving turret. It was protected by up to 50mm of armour and had a crew of five. Around 66 were produced and all remained in Japan to defend the home islands. |
