The Type 97 Chi-Ha(Primary Japanese Battle Tank)



This Tank was used as the primary offensive Tamk for the Japanese armament during the second World War. It has a small barrel, several machine gguns, a Flame thrower, and a small body. It was built to do one thing well, and that was to take out infantry. This was the early model and was not that good at fighting other tanks.

The Type 99(Light-Machine Gun)


This lightweight machine gun was used as the primary machine gun of the Japanese infantry during the second world war. It is thin, easy to reload, very easy to mass produce, quite customizable, and very accurate. It can have a turret mount, or long bayonet attached to it. It is very light, therefore will not slow down its user when running around. it has a decent rate of fire, and its accuracy is rather deadly. The type 99 is definately not a gun to mess around with.

Fuso Class(Battleship)



Watch A Video Of The Fuso Class

The Fuso Class was a battleship design finished during 1915, as Japan 's war with Russia during the Shino-Russia-Japan war was ending. This battleship class was a new design composed by Brittish navies. Yet this was not to be the Fuso we know, for in 1933 these old battleships were updated, and modernized to become Japan's first super dreadnought(super battleship). The ship gained a new, and very distinctive coning tower, known as the Pagoda style conning tower, and armor was also increased. She also boasted a complement of twelve 10 inch artillery cannons, and a 16 five mount(5 inch guns that line the side of a ship), which were later replaced by several anti-air flak cannons.
