 While it may seem odd that Japanese tank machine guns are fed by standard infantry magazines, this was a deliberate choice taking into account the Japanese doctrine around automatic machine guns, preferring a more accurate and long range engagement on the machine gun. It was heavily implied that every shot counted and that it wasn't simply for suppressing enemy targets as every bullet was meant to hit. This would in theory save cost and bullets, and the additional benefit of reducing logistical strains by taking standard infantry ready munitions.}}

 The Imperial Japanese Army General Staff Office requested that Plan A be reduced to 12 tons, but the Technical Headquarters couldn't comply as the prototype reached 15 tons. This led to the idea of mass deploying Plan B to compensate for the performance difference using the "saved" cost. Despite the Tank School's opinion that the two-man turret provided an absolute and essential advantage over a one-man turret, even if the alternative vehicle had acceptable speed and armor, neither concept could find a compromise. This possibly resulted in the development of a third prototype (unrelated to the initial order), later known as the "Type 98 Chi-Ho medium tank."

Even with other successful examples, Minister of War Hideki Tojo favored an infantry-centered approach with dispersed armor support, which proved ineffective against both Chinese anti-tank defenses and Soviet tanks at Khalkhin Gol.

 After Japan's defeat in WWII, American forces occupied the country and disbanded its military. However, with the onset of the Korean conflict in the 1950s and the majority of American troops redeployed to South Korea, Japan found itself vulnerable. To address this, the National Police Reserve (NPR) was established in the 1950s with the primary aim of self-defense. Despite being legally designated as a police force, it was structured and trained similarly to the United States Army.
-By 1952, the NPR had undergone significant expansion and was rebranded as the National Safety Force (NSF), evolving into an entity resembling a small army. Trained by American officers, NSF personnel were equipped with American military gear, including firearms and uniforms. However, due to treaty limitations, Japan was unable to develop its own military equipment and relied on the US for heavy machinery. This included standard and anti-air half-tracks, and even {{Annotation|"special vehicles"|In compliance to Article 9 'Renunciation of War'}} such as the M24 Chaffee.

 One of the significant changes in the JSDF's approach was the increased emphasis on mobility and lightweight design. The geographic and infrastructural constraints of Japan, such as rural bridges and narrow roads, necessitated the development of more agile and lighter military vehicles. The heavy Type 90 Main Battle Tanks (MBTs), which had been the backbone of Japan's armored forces, proved to be too cumbersome for many rural areas and lacked the capability for significant upgrades, especially in terms of integrating advanced C4I systems.
-To address these issues, the Type 10 MBT was developed and introduced. The Type 10 is a modular armour kit state-of-the-art main battle tank designed to provide superior mobility and advanced technological integration. Its lightweight base design allows for better maneuverability across Japan's diverse terrain, and it is equipped with cutting-edge C4I capabilities. This ensures that the Type 10 can operate efficiently in a network-centric battlefield, providing real-time data and communication capabilities that are crucial for modern combat scenarios.

-In addition to tank development, the JSDF also focused on enhancing its Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) systems and artillery units. Long-range SAM systems were integrated to provide robust anti-air and anti-missile defenses, while the [[Type 93|Type 93 short-range SAM]] system was improved to increase its mobility and deployment speed.

-With the ever growing threat of homeland invasion and overall Japanese tank designs being outdated by the 1940s, drastic push-and-shove came to the Japanese Army Armoured Headquarters for new designs which shouldn't be held back for the limited Army budget in size, weight and capabilities.
+With the looming threat of homeland invasion and the obsolescence of Japanese tank designs by the 1940s, the Japanese Army Armoured Headquarters faced urgent pressure to develop new designs that wouldn't be constrained by limited budget allocations in terms of size, weight, and capabilities.
-The tank which would be known as the '''Type 4 Chi-To''' started its development rather early as a low priority upgrade over the Chi-Ha series in September 1942. Initial designs called for a completely new hull development and a long barreled 47 mm gun, which gradually shifted towards a long barreled 57 mm prototype gun in 1943 until the drastic wake-up call made by the tank developments seen in the Eastern Front and the Japanese facing Sherman tanks called development to require a long 75 mm gun and kicked the tank's development in a higher gear.
+The tank that eventually became known as the '''Type 4 Chi-To''' began its development in September 1942 as a low-priority upgrade over the Chi-Ha series. Initial plans called for a completely new hull design and a long-barreled 47 mm gun, which later evolved into a long-barreled 57 mm prototype gun by 1943. However, the urgency of tank developments on the Eastern Front between German and Soviet tanks, coupled with Japanese encounters with Sherman tanks, prompted a shift towards equipping the tank with a long 75 mm gun, kicking the tank's development in a higher gear.
-The 75 mm in question, which saw a lengthy development of its own started as a Swedish AA gun found on the Sino front, captured and sent back to Japan for evaluation, which eventually developed into 2 separate guns, the 75 mm Type 4 anti-air gun and its tank variant gun as the 75 mm Type 5 tank gun which was tested on stilts and on the Type 4 Chi-So armoured tractor for chassis testing under the name of the '''Experimental Na-To'''.
+The 75 mm gun itself underwent a lengthy development process. Originally a Swedish AA gun found on the Chinese front, it was captured and brought back to Japan for evaluation. This led to the development of two separate guns: the 75 mm Type 4 anti-air gun and its tank variant, the 75 mm Type 5 tank gun. The latter was tested on stilts and mounted on the Type 4 Chi-So armored tractor for chassis testing, under the designation of the '''7.5 cm self-propelled anti-tank gun Na-To'''.
 The capabilities of the gun were great enough to destroy Sherman tanks with ease and production was green lit to the already stretched tank assembly lines of Mitsubishi, which together with Kobe Steel were tasked to aim for 25-35 tanks a month for a total of 200 tanks by the end of 1945, but with the constant strategic bombing and delayed development, only 2 known proto-production tanks were built with some sources noting an alleged 6 total being built.
-Other end war prototypes also involved the parallel developed '''Type 5 Chi-Ri''' tank, which supplemented the Chi-To as a heavier companion tank based on gasoline, offering far greater engine output out of a V-type 12-cylinder gasoline engine to sustain the added armour, size and capabilities of the alternative tank, which based itself closer to tanks seen in the Eastern front of both German and Soviet designs such as the KV-1, instead than the light nature of Japanese tanks. To make up for the limited resources, development was pushed to a quality-mass production model which included innovative features such as an auto-loader and a secondary cannon in the hull.
+Another end-of-war prototype was the '''Type 5 Chi-Ri''' tank, developed in parallel with the Chi-To. It served as a heavier companion tank, powered by a V-type 12-cylinder gasoline engine to support the increased armor, size, and capabilities.

To make up for the limited resources, development was pushed to a quality-mass production model which included innovative features such as an auto-loader and a secondary cannon in the hull.
-The hull of this larger and greater output offering tank also made it a suitable hull to plan even heavier tank destroyers on, such as the '''Ho-Ri series''' of designs, with a multitude of designs utilizing the Chi-Ri hull and a 105 mm cannon to ensure destruction of enemy tanks. With the first 2 plans maintaining the rather square design of the hull, maintaining the hull mounted gun in a rear and mid section superstructure with its third, and most looked into design (which also happens to be the model in-game) changing out the front of the hull to be angled, offering far better hull protection.
