The Type 3 Chi-Nu is a Japanese tier 5 medium tank.
The Type 3 Chi-Nu medium tank is a modification of the Type 1 Chi-He with a new turret and gun. The tank was the most powerful among wartime Japanese mass-produced vehicles. However, only 60 vehicles were manufactured due to shortages of components and materials.
Make no mistake, the Chi-Nu is much more a mobile fire support tank than a real medium. Neither its speed nor its armor makes it a close quarters fighter. However, thanks to its accurate and deadly gun, the Chi-Nu makes a great second line sniper. Be warned though, if spotted, it is highly advised to seek cover as the Chi-Nu makes for a fairly large and attractive target.
The Type 3 Chi-Nu leads to the O-I, and the Type 4 Chi-To.

Performance
The Chi-Nu is in many ways, a below average medium tank. However, it makes up for it with a very accurate, good penetration and damage gun. One must keep in mind, however, the somewhat disappointing soft stats on the Japanese tanks; for example, be sure to aim completely, as you will often miss horribly if you do not. The armor and mobility are poor when compared to the Sherman and Panzer IV H and trying to get to some of the locations they can may land you in trouble. You will often be penetrated by High-Explosive shells from 105mm/10.5cm howitzers, and module damage is almost guaranteed when hits are taken. What the Chi-Nu excels at is sniping. Stick to the second line and place accurate fire into the enemies distracted by your heavies, pushing up with them as needed. Because turret turn speed is the slowest for tier V non-premium mediums it can be played as an american TD, albeit a very slow one.

Historical Info
The development of the Chi-Nu, based on the Type 97 Chi-Ha, started in May, 1943 and finished by October of the same year, at the urging of the Imperial Army. However, production of the Chi-Nu did not commence until 1944, as what little resources Japan could muster were mostly allocated to the Imperial Navy. A total of 166 Type 3 Chi-Nu tanks were produced, 55 in 1944 and 111 in 1945. They were planned to be used in the defense of the Japanese home islands, and therefore never saw combat.
