Type 97 Chi-Ha

The Type 97 medium tank Chi-Ha was a medium tank used by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War, at Nomonhan against the Soviet Union, and the Second World War. It was the most widely-produced Japanese medium tank of WWII, with about 26mm thick armor on its turret sides, and 33mm on its gun shield, considered average protection in the 1930s.

The Chi-Ha was the most widely avalable medium tank to the Imperial Japanese Army when the Race invaded in mid 1942. Hoplessly outmatched by the Race Landcriusers, the Chi-Ha was thrown into the fight because it was all the Japanese had. The Chi-Ha was not well respected by landcriuser crews and earned the dubious nick name "Fire Starters," because they brewed up in a fireball after only one hit.
