-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' ({{Annotation|三式砲戦車「ホニIII」|San-Shiki Hō-Sensha [Ho-Ni III]}}) was a tank destroyer developed by Japan during World War II. It was equipped with a [[Type 3 (75 mm)|Type 3 75 mm tank gun]], which had a high muzzle velocity and could penetrate the armor of US tanks. Unlike its predecessors, the Ho-Ni III had a fully enclosed and armored casemate that provided protection to the crew from ground and aerial threats. The vehicle was designed to supplement the newer [[Chi-Nu|Type 3 Chi-Nu]] tanks by converting the obsolete [[Chi-Ha (Family)|Type 97 Chi-Ha]] hulls into self-propelled guns. The production of the Ho-Ni III started in 1944, but only 31 units were completed due to material shortages and bombing. Most of these vehicles were stationed in the Japanese home islands and never saw combat.

-It was introduced along with the entire Japanese Ground Forces tree in [[Update 1.65 "Way of the Samurai"]]. It is similar to the [[Ho-Ni I|Type 1 Ho-Ni I]], but improved: more crew members, a shorter reload time, and armour for the gun crew. However this comes at the cost of a lower top speed. Your gun has high penetration and damage, so you can snipe enemies from afar. The armour is weak and most enemies can pierce it easily. Help your allies by giving fire support, and use your smoke shells to create cover for yourself or others.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' ({{Annotation|三式砲戦車「ホニIII」|San-Shiki Hō-Sensha [Ho-Ni III]}}) is a Rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese tank destroyer {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced along with the entire Japanese Ground Forces tree in [[Update 1.65 "Way of the Samurai"]]. It handles and plays very similarly to the Ho-Ni I before it, but has been refined with the addition of more crew, a faster reload time, and most importantly, armour around the gun crew. However, it pays a slight cost of reduced top speed.

 Ho-Ni series SPGs went into production in 1942, and the order to design and produce the upgraded Ho-Ni III was received by the Hitachi firm in the beginning of 1944. Due to a shortage of resources and constant bombings, the Japanese industry was only able to produce roughly 35 Ho-Ni III SPGs before the end of the war. Most of them were distributed among divisions tasked with defending Japan itself, while only a few were sent to areas of active military operations such as Okinawa and the Philippines. No records survive of military clashes between the Ho-Ni III and American tanks.
