History
In 1941 the Japanese Army realised the Type 97 Chi-Ha "Shinhoto" was unable to effectively deal with Allied tanks they were facing in the Pacific, so another upgrade programme was started. The armour was changed from riveted to thicker welded armour, greatly improving its survivability. The engine was also upgraded and even with the increased weight of the new armour it was faster than the original Chi-Ha. Production started in 1943 and ended in 1944 with a total production run of 170 tanks, most were stationed on the Japanese home islands but a few of them were used in combat at the Battle of Leyte in the Philippines.
