+The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is an anti-air truck fitting a [[Type 98 (20 mm)]] on a Type 94 truck. This was done as a measure to get the easiest solution of motorizing anti-air to provide air cover for tank and infantry units alike, without having to develop a whole new vehicle for it. Having the gun already deployed on the back of the truck increases the response time of the vehicle rather than having the gun towed behind it. The wheels of the gun mount are mounted on the back of the cab in case it has to be dismounted from the truck.
 It was introduced in [[Update 1.65 "Way of the Samurai"]] along with the initial Japanese Ground Forces tree. As with any truck AA, this vehicle is fragile and should not be taken near the frontline, even though it is potent as a frontline automatic anti-tank gun. As a truck chassis, with only 3 crew members, this vehicle has no survivability. Overall, the Type 94 is a gun platform. With 20 bullets, 45 mm of max penetration, a good traverse speed, and reload rate, this gun will shred planes and light targets alike. Plus, the same gun is mounted on the two next Japanese SPAAs, offering a good introduction to this main weapon.

 The Isuzu Type 94 truck is a Japanese designed truck which was specifically built for military use. Intended to replace civilian designs, it was originally developed in 1933 as part of an Imperial Japanese Army program to sponsor independent motor companies. Unlike its civilian predecessors, these trucks were designed from the outset to be used on rough terrain.
-Isuzu's prototype of a 6x4 truck, known in-house as the Isuzu TU10, was first shown to the army in July of 1933. Not only did it have excellent off-road capabilities thanks to its high ground clearance, but it was also very easy to maintain and reliable in use. Originally the type was fitted with an upright 6 cylinder watercooled engine almost identical to that used on the Isuzu Type 93 six-wheeled civilian passenger car, but adapted for military use. It was capable of producing 43 hp at 1500 rpm or a maximum of 68 hp at 2800 rpm: this version was known as the Type 94 Ko. Later on in 1939 the DA40, a 6 cylinder diesel engine, was developed for this truck with similar power output but a lower fuel consumption: this version was known as the Type 94 Otsu.

 Army trials of the TU10 prototype started in July of 1933, consisting of six different tests in diverse terrains and weather conditions, spread out between July of 1933 and July of 1934. Following the completion of these tests, the type was officially adopted for use by the Imperial Japanese Army as the Type 94. Standardised sets of plans were drawn up by the Army Engineering Headquarters, and full scale production of the Type 94 started in 1937.
-The standard Type 94 truck was designed to be operated by a single driver, and could carry either up to 12 passengers - two in the cab, 10 in the cargo bay - or up to 1300 kg of cargo. Over the course of its production, numerous variants were designed, including the TX40 gasoline-powered civilian 4x4 truck, the Type 97 military 4x4 truck based on the civilian TX40; the TX50 diesel-powered version of the TX40, the TX80 and TU80 with an improved axle strength to increase its maximum payload, as well as various other and specialised variants.

 Among these many variants was the '''Type 98 20 mm Machine Cannon Carrier Truck''', which was a ''Type 98 20 mm AA machine cannon'' mounted on the back of a truck as a means to provide AA cover for the IJA's tank divisions. In practice, not solely the Isuzu Type 94 was used, but also equivalent trucks built by Nissan and Toyota.
