As the {{PAGENAME}} is very comparable to the [[Leopard 1 (Family)|Leopard 1 Series]], it is recommended to play them in the same fashion as such. In a Hit & Run tactic.
 
−
 
−
The additional benefits of the {{PAGENAME}} over the [[Leopard 1]] are:
 
−
 
−
* A top-mounted .50 which can be used to deal with soft targets swiftly or damage gun barrels or track opponent tanks.
 
−
* Hydropneumatic suspension to:
 
−
** Increase gun depression or elevation.
 
−
** Improve traverse rate off- and on-road.
 
−
** Could vary the sloped angle of its armour towards the enemy.
 
−
* Stronger turret armour
 
−
* IR spotlight
 
−
* Stabilizer

A year after the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) issued out their first post-war main battle tank, the [[Type 61]], development started on its successor, recognizing that the Type 61 was already becoming obsolete in terms of the new Soviet tanks being produced such as the [[T-62]]. Working alongside Mitsubishi once more, they looked for a new tank design incorporating many new features introduced in tank technology. This resulted in the tank having the hydropneumatic suspension system from the U.S.-German project MBT-70, a hull shape similar to Germany's [[Leopard I]], and the powerful [[L7A1 (105 mm)|105 mm L7 gun]] for its main armament. Other planned features for the tank was a rotatable commander's cupola and an autoloader system for the main gun.
 
−
 
 
−
The first prototype arrived for testing in 1968 as the ''[[STB-1]]''. Modifications to the design started in 1969, which saw the autoloader removed for being too complex and expensive, as well as the removal of a proposed remote-controlled anti-aircraft machine gun for the same reason. The turret design was also elongated for various design purposes. The modified prototype was labelled ''STB-3'' and was delivered in 1971. The final prototype, ''STB-6'', was then delivered in 1973. The tank was then accepted for service in 1974 as the '''Type 74''' tank. Production would start in September 1975 all the way to 1989, producing 893 tanks.
 
−
 
 
−
===Service===
 
−
Due to the defensive nature of the JSDF and the absence of any hostility rising out of the Cold War, the Type 74 spent its service life in the JGSDF with no battle service. During its service life however, it was upgraded with new hardware such as infra-red imagers for night fighting and a laser rangefinder for the commander. Despite all that, the Type 74 was generally outdated in terms of specifications even before entering service, as second-generation main battle tanks like the [[Chieftain Mk 3|Chieftain]] and [[T-72A|T-72]] outclass it and development for third-generation main battle tanks like the Leopard 2 and [[M1 Abrams]] were already underway.
 
−
 
 
−
The tank was to be replaced by the newer [[Type 90]] main battle tank, but the collapse of the Soviet Union and the official end of the Cold War caused the replacement program to be halted. Today, the Type 74 still sees limited service in Japan and it was reported that 700 units were still in use in 2006.

Notes:

  • Suspension wheels and tracks are both 20 mm thick.
  • Has additional 10 mm mounting plates scattered on the front hull
  • The Type 74's hydropneumatic suspension means it could vary the sloped angle of its armour towards the enemy.
  • Hull roof is rated to be 25 mm effective against HE.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
