Tank description:

The Type 5 Chi-Ri is a Japanese tier 7 medium tank.A single prototype was manufactured at the beginning of 1945. The vehicle underwent trials and was recommended for service. However, Japan was defeated before mass production could begin. After the surrender, the prototype was confiscated by American occupation authorities and was shipped to the United States.At a glance, the Type 5 Chi-Ri is not much of an upgrade from the Type 4 Chi-To. It is an even larger target, has more or less the same armor, and is in most other ways similar or identical to the Chi-To. The main difference, however, is that the Chi-Ri receives an auto-loading version of the Chi-To''s gun. This gun has impressive burst damage combined with a short magazine reload, giving the Chi-Ri a unique playstyle for a tier 7 medium.The Type 5 Chi-Ri leads to the STA-1.
