Chi Ha 97

BF 1942 Demo Chi HaThe Chi-Ha light tank was no match for the advanced Russian and U.S. tanks. At Nomonhan, Japanese troops were nearly wiped out because the Chi-Ha's guns could not breach the armor of enemy tanks. In response to these failures, Japan increased the armor and firepower of the Chi-Ha. But, when the improved Chi-Ha was unveiled, the U.S. had its M4 Sherman, which exceeded the capability of the updated Chi-Ha.

Vehicles Japanese

LIGHT TANK:
The LIGHT TANK is an infantryman's worst nightmare. A driver-controlled cannon and coaxial machinegun coupled with a cupola-mounted machinegun for anti-air and anti-infantry makes this two-person vehicle very versatile. Be careful of Heavy Tanks or hidden anti-tank infantry. APC:
The APC vehicle is one of the most versatile vehicles on the battlefield. It can provide light armor protection for up to 6 soldiers as well as anti-air and anti-infantry support from it's machinegun. Also, any soldier seated in the passenger compartment will automatically be healed and their ammo will be replenished. It will also replenish the ammo of any vehicle within a 10 meter radius of the APC.

SCOUT CAR:
This 2-person vehicle is the fastest on land. It's also the least armored. It is best used to quickly penetrate the opponent's line or for those quick getaways.
FIGHTER:

The FIGHTER is the fastest and most maneuverable vehicle in the sky. It combines excellent air cover and decent ground attack.

DIVE-BOMBER:
The DIVE BOMBER is a 2-person vehicle which provides excellent ground attack with decent air cover. An empty back-gunner position is useful when a teammate needs a quick pick-up.

AIRCRAFT CARRIER:
The AIRCRAFT CARRIER is close to supplanting the Battleship's supremacy on the high seas. With its brood of dive-bombers and fighters it can launch attacks outside of the Battleship's range. It can also protect itself from air attack. The LCVPs at the rear of the ship can be used to make beach landings.

DESTROYER:
The DESTROYER is a multi-purpose ship. Its primary role is as an anti-submarine escort, although in this demo you don't have to worry about submarines. You can also use its cannons for shore bombardment. It has limited defenses against air attacks. The LCVP's at the rear of the ship can be used to make beach landings.
