The Type 98 20 mm AAG (anti-air gun) tank was a Japanese self-propelled anti-aircraft gun using a twin Soki Type II 20 mm anti-air gun. They were combined with the chassis of the Type 98 Ke-Ni. The gun crew worked from a raised platform with a modest amount of protection from the sides - the twin 20 mm gun fired through a large gun shield gave further protection for the crew from that direction.
In November 1941, development began on an anti-aircraft version of the Type 98 with a 20 mm AA gun. During development of the AA gun tank, the Imperial Japanese Army experimented with various configurations.
An earlier produced single gun prototype was designated the Type 98 Ta-Se anti-aircraft tank, in November 1941. The name was taken from taikū ('anti-air') sensha ('tank'). It was equipped with a single converted Type 98 20 mm AA machine cannon in a circumferential turret. During trials, it was determined that the chassis used for the Ta-Se was too small to be a stable "firing platform". It did not enter production.
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!
