About this vehicle

Type 4 Chi-To medium tank was the first Japanese tank to be developed with an emphasis on anti-tank combat capabilities. Although the vehicle entered development in 1941, prior to the Type 3 Chi-Nu medium tank, material shortages and war situation resulted in only 2 prototypes being completed before the end of the war.
