The Type 4 Chi-To is a Japanese tier 6 medium tank.
Type 4 Chi-To medium tank was the first Japanese tank
to be developed with an emphasis on anti-tank combat capabilities. Although the vehicle entered development in 1941, prior to the Type 3 Chi-Nu medium tank, material shortages and war situation resulted in only 2 prototypes
being completed before the end of the war.
The Type 4 Chi-To leads to the Type 5 Chi-Ri.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good overall mobility
- Good gun depression (10° with the upgraded turret)
- Accurate and superior firepower
- Good amount of hit points
- Decent DPM
Cons:
- Noticeably bulky size, visibility leaves a lot to be desired
- Thin armor, except turret front mantlet, mediocre gun depression with the stock turret.
- One of the worst stock grinds next to VK 30.01 (P), prone to engine damage from front hits.
- Well-sloped portions of front hull, side and rear armour are often overmatched and penetrated by HE shells.
- Acceleration and top speed are both under par for a medium, although maneuverability is still ok.
Performance
- The Type 4 Chi-To trades armor for gun depression and rate of fire, which allow this tank to excel in a support role and when executing flanking maneuvers. Slow acceleration, bulky size, and paper thin armor make this tank weak to HE rounds and getting caught out in the open. Be sure to maximize cover as much as possible, as well as attempting to hull down to make use of the 150mm gun mantlet armor and solid gun depression. Be aware that the stock turret only has 7 degrees of gun depression, but still gets the 150mm thick gun mantlet.
- The Chi-To's good maneuverability and fairly high rate of fire (~3.4s) make it an excellent tank for flanking. It's possible to maneuver around the side of many heavier tanks and take 2 or even 3 shots before quickly retreating behind cover without taking any damage.
- Stay on second line and follow a heavy tank, let it take the enemy fire and use your good RoF to do a lot of damage while enemies doesn't notice you're the true source of damage.
Early Research
- Research the 400HP Mitsubishi AL Type 4 Kuurei V-12 first. Without it, the Chi-To is slow and cumbersome to handle.
- Second, research the Type 5 Model 1 gun to improve reload time
- Third, upgrade to the Chi-To Production Tracks.
- Fourth, research the Type 4 Chi-To Production turret
- Lastly, research the radio(s).
- Go from there.

Historical Info
By this point in the war, Japan no longer had the resources that would allow for the shipment of heavy vehicles overseas, and the Type 4 Chi-To were earmarked for the final defenses of the Japanese home islands against the expected Allied invasion. Army planners envisioned large armored divisions equipped with the Type 4 Chi-To driving the invaders back into the sea, but the war came to an end before more units could be completed and neither of the two completed units were used in combat.
Design
The Type 4 Chi-To was a thirty-ton, all-welded medium tank with a maximum armor thickness of about 75 millimeters (3.0 in) on the frontal plates. The tank was 6.73 m (22.1 ft) long, 2.87 m (9 ft 5 in) high, and 2.87 m (9 ft 5 in) wide. The Type 4 had a crew of five men. The tracks were supported by seven road wheels. It was powered by a 300 kW (400 hp) engine, which was significantly more powerful than the 180 kW (240 hp) engine of the 19-ton Type 3 Chi-Nu tank. This gave it a top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph). The main armament consisted of a long-barreled Type 5 75 mm Tank Gun which was a variant of the Japanese Type 4 75 mm AA Gun. The gun was mounted in a large, hexagonal turret. A single 7.7 mm machine gun was mounted in the hull.
