Type 97 ShinHoTo Chi-Ha

16.5k DarDragon  5.6 years ago

One of my most functional tank designs. Be careful in turning on runways though. Again, meant to look good and not functional. Do not turn to hard. Tracks might break(This tank has real tracks). Has a tendency to spontaneously combust when turning. Has great suspension though

Controls:

Throttle: Power(Recommended Throttle for turning on the move: <30%
Recommended Throttle for turning in place: 100%)

Pitch: forward/ backward

Roll: Turning

VTOL: Turret/ MG elevation

Trim: Turret Rotation

The Type 97 ShinhoTo Chi-Ha was a Japanese medium tank used in World War II that was an upgrade to the original Type 97 Chi-Ha. The new version was designated Type 97-Kai ("improved") or Shinhoto Chi-Ha ("new turret" Chi-Ha). This design was considered to be the best Japanese tank to have seen "combat service" during the Pacific War.
