The forces of the Imperial Japanese are further reinforced by the addition of this new resin Ke-Nu light tank.
With the Type 97 Chi-Ha medium tanks undergoing up-armament and
therefore a new turret, older Chi-Ha turrets were surplus to
requirements. A use was found for them by marrying them to the hulls of
the Type 95 Ha-Go light tank, giving birth to the Ke-Nu. Approximately
100 of this hybrid light tank were produced.
Although the Ke-Nu’s new 57mm gun gave it marginally better firepower
than the Ha-Go, the larger turret added further weight and therefore
more strain on the engine. This extra ton of weight dropped the maximum
speed of the Ke-Nu down to 40 km/h. However, the Ke-Nu still suffered
from the same weakness as it’s forebears – armour that was too thin to
be effective against Allied anti-tank weaponry.
