-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' ({{Annotation|五式中戦車II 「チリII」|Go-Shiki Chū-Sensha II [Chi-Ri II]}}) was designed upon Japanese field reports on the Eastern front war between Germany and the Soviet Union which evolved tank combat as a separate branch. Roughly offering the hull protection of a KV-1 and the firepower of German long 75 mm's the Chi-Ri was to be a heavy medium tank offering higher quality over quantity in tank design. However, with the scale the Chi-Ri was supposed to be designed and the bleeding resources the Japanese military experienced through China and mainly the Pacific, resources were diverted to the more practical [[Chi-To]] instead.

-The Chi-Ri II was introduced along with the initial Japanese Ground Forces tree in [[Update 1.65 "Way of the Samurai"]]. It's armed with a [[Type II Model I (75 mm)|Type II Model I 75 mm cannon]] and is the first tank in the game to feature a fully functional auto-loader for full-size tank guns, giving it a two-round capacity. The "auto-loader" is simply a tray-assisted ready rack for 2 shells that can be laid ready in front of the gun to simply push in, without the need of pulling ammo directly from the storage racks into the breach. Once the trays have been emptied, the reload will be like any usual tank with a slight penalty. The big drawback of the Chi-Ri is its size and traverse speeds, while it offers a stronger engine once spaded, the massive turret will crank slowly making response time slow if the hull isn't utilized and the sheer size of the tank makes for a massive target.

-The Chi-Ri II is quite a unique tank to use in the game, presenting its own set of intriguing features as well as faults. On one hand, the Chi-Ri II has an auto-loading high-penetrating 75 mm gun that allows it three shots in rapid succession. However, the tank's very large size and relatively thin, flat armour means it must be played very carefully.

 ===Production plans===
-If the Chi-Ri ever entered production, the Japanese had plans for a bit of an upgrade in its firepower. It would be armed with a gun based off of the Type 98 88 mm anti-aircraft gun, giving it a much higher velocity cannon that makes the vehicle more than capable of taking out Allied tanks. With the Chi-Ri in production and in numbers, it would be used in Japan's final stand against the Allies should they invade the home islands.
+If the Chi-Ri ever entered production, the Japanese had plans for a bit of an upgrade in its firepower.

With the Chi-Ri in production and in numbers, it would be used in Japan's final stand against the Allies should they invade the home islands.
 However, like many late-war tanks of Japan, they would never see any battle service due to their surrender in September 1945. The single Chi-Ri prototype was captured by the ensuing American occupation force, which they transported to the Aberdeen Proving Grounds for tests. Records show that the Chi-Ri prototype was scrapped along with other foreign tanks on October 1952.<ref name="MaiScrapping">Sun 2017</ref>
