The Medium Mark A Whippet was a British tank of the First World War. It was intended to complement the slower British heavy tanks by using its relative mobility and speed in exploiting any break in the enemy lines.
A few (perhaps six) were exported to Japan, where they remained in service until around 1930. After serving in training roles in Japan in the 1920s, were deployed abroad to northeastern China, ie. the puppet state of Manchukuo, in the 1930s. They served with units charged with the suppression of resistance actions. The Japanese Medium Mark A Whippet tanks were equipped with Type 3 heavy machine guns and had improved armoring in front of the driver seat (for better visibility and better ventilation). It was unknown when these WW1-era machine were finally retired from Japanese service.
The file contains the unit and pcx files. Model is not my own creation. Wyrmshadow helped with the animation files. I merely put the pieces together and cleaned up the model for CivIII and added some what if pieces. A big thanks to everyone that helped out!
