Type 97 Shinhoto Chi-Ha
Type 97 Shinhoto Chi-Ha
The Shinhoto Chi-Ha was the best medium tank fielded by the Japanese during World war 2, it replaced the 57mm gun of the Chi-Ha with a high velocity 47mm gun. Even with the improved performance of the 47mm gun this tank was barely able to hold its own against the American and British tanks it faced. It is otherwise the same as the standard Chi-Ha. |
