History
Japan's last and greatest tank design of the war, the Chi-Ri was equipped with heavy armour and an 88mm cannon. It would have been able to effectively fight against the American M4 Sherman that where expected in the invasion of Japan. However due to lack of time and resources only a single uncompleted prototype was built by the end of the war. The prototype was confiscated by the Americans after the war and presumably taken back to America but sadly all trace of it was lost after.
