Heavyweight from Japan

The Type 95 Ro-Go heavy tank was designed at the end of the multi-turret period in the history of Japanese tanks. Its story can be traced to the Type 91, a predecessor made by Mitsubishi in the early 1930s. With a mass of only 18 tons, it would be more of a medium tank by the standards of Western Europe and the Soviet Union. Its main caliber was a 70-mm cannon, though, which in Japan meant that the tank was a heavy one.
