Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Add-on pontoons provide effective protection against HE and HEAT fired at the hull

Cons:

  • Large and lightly armoured, likely a juicy target for enemy tanks and planes

History

With the success of the Navy's Type 2 Special Motorboat Ka-Mi, a more ambitious project for a bigger, more advanced vehicle was forwarded. Called the Type 3 Special Motorboat, it was not only meant as a fully ocean-going boat, but capable of traveling underwater, although as cargo on the back of a submarine. To withstand the depths (reported as deep as 100 m / 330 ft), the primary pressure hull was a cylinder between 2.0 and 2.1 m (6 ft 7 in) in diameter. Most of the machinery was taken from the Type 1 Chi-He medium tank, presumably to save costs. Like the Ka-Mi, removable sea-going fore and aft pontoons were part of the design, however they were not required to be amphibious. Navigation was accomplished by rudders attached to the rear pontoon, but also the vehicle-mounted twin screws could be independently controlled to maintain a level of steering without the rudders. Nineteen units were reportedly built and extensively and successfully tested, but never used in combat.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
