The type 5 Ka-to was an experimental tank that was built for one single purpose, to destroy American tank in an ultimate battle to come in the Japanese homeland. the Ka-to was designed in June 1943, it was meant to be an open-top 105mm gun carrier that could mix mobility and fire power that was lacking to fight the American army in ww2. in general it was very similar to the Na-to as it is in the game. the tank would be very vulnerable to the airplane and couldn't stand direct guns hit and can barely resist to heavy machine gun. the concept behind that SPG was to sacrifice everything to carry the gun. a single prototype was half finish by the Mitsubishi industry when the war ended.
The Ka-to was a similar to the Na-to in many part of his design, the 400hp engine was in the front, the driver was in the right side of the tank, the gun was in the middle, an platform for the gun crew was in the back. on the paper, the Ka-to would had been about 30tons and presumably reaches a speed of 40km/h. the type 5 105mm gun had a penetration of 150mm with a 16kg APHE and 175mm AP at 1000m a crew of 4-5 men would be used to man the gun which the driver and the commander for a total of 6-7men for this tank. the ammunition was carried in a compartment behind the gun. a space for a radio was also planed in a back compartment. the gun would had have a transverse of 45 degree lateral and -10/20 of elevation. the armor was thin, 25mm in the front and 20mm in the side and rear. just enough to resist to small arms.
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!
