Type 97 "Chi-Ha" 47

The Type 97 Kai Shinhoto Chi-Ha was an upgraded version of the original Type 97 Chi-Ha. It was built following experience facing American tanks, such as the Light Tank M3. It featured a newer, bigger turret with a 47 mm gun for better AP capability. It still had the same level of protection as the original Chi-Ha. The Shinhoto Chi-Ha was superior to the Light Tank M3, but had trouble dealing with the Sherman.

In-game
The Shinhoto Chi-Ha is somewhat better against tanks than the original Chi-Ha, but is still not a match for most Allied medium tanks. Your best bet is either ambush, or flanking around for a side/rear shot. Slightly weaker HE round than that of the standard Chi-Ha.
