Japanese Type 95 Ha Go Light Tank

The Type 95 Ha-Go was a Japanese light tank introduced in the 1930s. Its small crew, diesel engine, and compact dimensions suited the mobility requirements envisaged by the Japanese army, but thin armor and limited armament became serious weaknesses against modern Allied weapons. It served in China, the Pacific, and other theaters. Its early usefulness and later obsolescence illustrate the changing demands of the war; it was not equivalent to a contemporary American medium tank. Small dimensions could help movement and concealment, but could not compensate for inadequate armor against heavier weapons. Its later difficulties arose partly from the widening gap between original requirements and wartime threats.
