 The '''{{Specs|name}}''' ({{Annotation|九五式軽戦車「ハ号」|Kyūgo-Shiki Kei-Sensha [Ha-Gō]}}) was developed in response to the limitations of the [[I-Go Ko|Type 89 I-Go]], which became evident as it could not keep pace with motorized infantry moving at 40 km/h. Consequently, it failed to fulfil its role as a "light tank," as it had to cover long distances separately by train, akin to other heavy equipment. The primary goal was to ensure that the new tank could match the speed of motorized infantry, facilitating their combined mobility. By 1935, when the design was finalized, the Ha-Go would assume the role of the Army's primary tank until the development of the Chi-Ha. Due to its lightweight and cost-effective design, the Ha-Go became Japan's most numerous tank built during the war.
-The Ha-Go is a small yet nimble tank, serving as a primary flanking support vehicle to assist larger tanks in advancing. However, due to its limited armour, typical of early Japanese tanks, it can be easily penetrated by cannons and autocannons. To make the most of the Ha-Go's capabilities, it is recommended to use its gun depression by hiding the hull behind terrain and obstacles while exposing only the turret to the enemy.

 ===Combat usage===
-The Type 95's was first deployed in the Second Sino-Japanese War. The Type 95s in the theater were generally well-received due to the inferiority of China's anti-tank defenses and their tank forces usually consist of machine gun-armed tanks like the Panzer I and CV33. The Type 95 Ha-Go's first major combat was during the border conflicts between Japan and the Soviet Union during the battles at Khalkhin Gol. The Type 95 made up a good portion of the 4th Tank Regiment in the 1st Tank Corps, alongside [[I-Go Ko|Type 89]]s and Type 94 tankettes. These tanks generally fought against the Soviet's [[BT-5]] and [[BT-7]] tanks, which were in the same class as the Ha-Gos, though the Japanese took special note on the 45 mm cannon on the Soviet tanks, which they deemed superior to the Ha-Go 37 mm cannon. The two side exchanged multiple battles and territories, eventually resulting in a ceasefire between the two nations in August 1939.

 The next major usage of the Type 95 Ha-Go would be in opening stages of World War II when Japan invades the Allied territory after their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. Their first usage was in the Malaya campaign, then Singapore, then the Burma campaign. Despite the British technological superiority over the Japanese with their tank designs in Europe, their self-created concept that tanks were next-to-useless in the Pacific jungles caused them to have a severe shortage of armour in the Pacific in the early stages of the war. The Japanese however, with no experience in jungle warfare, managed to invade with Type 95 alongside [[Chi-Ha|Type 97 mediums]] as their spearhead. The Type 95 would also be involved with America's first tank-to-tank battle during the Battle of the Philippines. Type 95s from the 4th Tank Regiment came across U.S. [[M3 Stuart|M3 Stuarts]] from the 192nd Tank Battalion. Despite the Stuarts being five years newer than the Type 95, the two tanks were deemed very similar performance-wise. In this engagement, the Type 95 managed to spot the U.S. tanks first and open fired, destroying one of the Stuarts in the platoon and the west withdrew under fire.
