i think it’s going to be like chaffee in a why i think what thare doing is makeing a nother tank like chaffee it probly is slow than chaffee and less hp/ton but i bet it’s going to have alout more view range than chaffee maybe like 420 in wot or maybe thay might give it the highest view range in game 430

I’m sorry I am still extremely dubious at best. there is simply not enough space in the back for the imagine just like the US T-71 is far too small. It may have existed as a drawing but that doesn’t mean it could actually work in real life.
Just puts out all the signals of fan-made even if it is in a well renowned scholars work. The question would be to look at his source.

>Would you be able to provide a primary source that describes the existence of both plans?

sry. I dont know other source.

>That would suggest that the hull of the 30 ton Chi To was by large the same size as the 57mm Chi To plan.

exactly. but Its smaller than Aufklarungspanzer Panther.

Well, all I can tell you is that the picture is coming from Hara Tomio’s book. He is probably the biggest name in the entire history of the Japanese tank industry and is called “The father of Japanese tanks.” Maybe the picture was provided for US intelligence, who knows…

Here is the book. Starting at about $150 on Amazon.
