History
In the late 1930s the Japanese Type 89 Chi-Ro medium tank was starting to become obsolete, so a new design was needed. Two different companies submitted designs, Osaka Army Arsenal's lighter and cheaper Type 97 Chi-Ni and Mitsubishi's heavier and more expensive Type 97 Chi-Ha. At first the Chi-Ni was the preferred design but when war broke out in 1937 more money became available so the more expensive Mitsubishi design was chosen. The Chi-Ha went on to become Japan's main medium tank throughout the war and was the second most produced Japanese tank. It was also used as the base of a large amount of variants and modifications.
