History
Designed as a replacement for the Type 97 Chi-Ha "Shinhoto" in 1944, the Chi-To was the most advanced Japanese tank to be put into production. Shortages in materials and the destruction of Japan's industrial infrastructure meant that only four hulls and two complete tanks were built before the end of the war. The two finished tanks where later dumped in lake Hamana at the end of the war to hide them from American occupation troops, the Americans later salvaged one of them and took it back United States for testing. In 2013 a project was launched to try and find the other Chi-To at the bottom of the lake but thus far searches have been unsuccessful.
