The type 35 is a Light tank that entered service with the union Army in 1931. considered to be the best light tank of it's period, it saw action during the union invasion of Krakabloa as the main battle tank of the union army, it is regarded as a successful tank despite being unable to penetrate armour of other tank.

Armament: It was armed with one 47mm short barrelled gun, and two 7.5mm Machine gun one on the back of it's turret and one on the radio operator position.

Crew : the tank have four crew members, the commander (also act as loader) and the gunner is seated on the turret, the driver is sitting directly bellow them, and the radio operator on the driver's right, the condition was very cramped and the turret often blocks the driver and radio operator escape hatch.

armour: The tank is very heavily armoured for a light tank, Having 40mm of riveted steel on the hull and 36mm cast iron on it's conical turret.

Speed: Typical for surprisingly despite having a very thick armour, it can reach a speed of 40kmh on road.

Most effective as: Fast infantry support tank often fielded in large number, never use it alone.
Least effective as: Tank destroyer (see below).

Pros: Light and heavily armoured. it can be used to secure the gap created by breakthrough tank. Cheap and numerous, The tank is rather cheap in comparison with the larger infantry tank half way between tankettes and Medium.

Cons: Short barrelled gun, it's 47mm infantry gun is NOT suitable for engaging other tank save for certain light tanks and tankettes.

Operational Manual: Trim is for Turret traverse while VTOL is for elevation, Cockpit is for Gunner's view, camera 1 is for commander's view and camera 2 is for radio operator's view (recommend to use camera 2, while driving).

Note: this wil be my last tank for awhile, next I'm going to post a bomber version of Ju-52, the inspiration for this tank is Vickers 6-ton, Hotchkiss H35, and Type-95 Ha go.

Note2: This tank is developed earlier than the Type-34, due to protracted development (supposed to be finished In 1927 but instead it was finished in 1931) it was given off sequence designation 35 instead of 27
