The Type 5 Ho-Ri is a hypothetical production design of the Ho-Ri Prototype boasting more armour and a longer gun, making for a far more fearsome tank on the battlefield.

The Ho-Ri Production was introduced in Update 1.73 "Vive la France". While far stronger than its earlier iteration, it also faces much stronger opponents and may have the same drawbacks. Its armour has been increased from an effectively ~200 mm front plate to ~320 mm (120 mm construction) and a casemate boasting 200 - 225 mm armour protecting it decently well. The best course of action is to stay hull down and peek over ridges while using the -10° depression to increase its armour effectiveness and play it in a safe sniping position. The trade-off of superstructure armour is rewarded by forward mobility, accelerating to up to 40 km/h relatively quickly. A special feature of the Ho-Ri is its elevating roof armour: to reduce its vertical silhouette, the cannon breech can push the roof of the casemate up, to allow for the -10° depression it offers. This will expose the crew members, but won't be much of a threat as it's a very narrow angle for planes to strafe through and it doesn't cause the crew to be affected by explosive overpressure.
