Tank description:

The Renault Otsu is a Japanese tier 1 light tank.Developed from 1925 through 1928 in France as an upgraded modification of the Renault FT. The modernization project was finished and the vehicle saw mass production. In 1929, a total of 10 vehicles were purchased by Japan and were designated the Otsu-Gata Sensha (Tank B Model). The Japanese vehicles were slightly modernized and were widely used both in action and for training purposes.Combining aspects of its French roots and Japanese deployment, the Otsu is something of a hybrid. combining the very French-like mobility, armor and aesthetics with the relatively weak turret and great gun depression of the other Japanese tanks.The Renault Otsu leads to the Type 95 Ha-Go.
