The Type 1 Chi-He is a Japanese tier 4 medium tank.
The Type 1 Chi-He medium tank was a further development of the Type 97 Chi-Ha. It was developed in 1941, but due to the lack of steel, production did not start until 1943. A total of 170 tanks were manufactured. Most of them were held for the defense of Japan and never saw combat.
The Type 1 Chi-He leads to the Type 3 Chi-Nu.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Hull and Turret armor thicknesses have been virtually doubled at the front compared to the Chi-Ha
- Plays overall very similarly to the Chi-Ha in almost every other aspect.
- Can equip more powerful weaponry than the Chi-Ha
- Fantastic gun depression
- Good camo
Cons:
- Plays similarly to the Chi-Ha
- Despite the improved armor, it still does not help against higher tier guns.
- Low penetration on all guns makes it very difficult to penetrate many tier V and IV enemies, compared to the Matilda and T-28
- Struggles over hills with stock engine
- Does not improve much in visual range over the Chi-Ha
Performance
This tank, while not the fastest, can get to advantageous positions quite quickly. Its main feature is its 15° of gun depression, which can be used to take a shot over a hill and quickly retreat. Due to underperforming armor, minimizing exposure is advised. Overall, the Type 1 Chi-He is a second line sniper, capable of retaliating every shot the enemy aims at you.
