Japanese Tank Destroyer Ho-Ri I second version
Japanese Army developed a second version of Ho-Ri I. This version was based on Chi-Ri medium tank and didn’t have a sloped frontal armor and mounted a 47mm gun on hull. The casemate was installed at center of chassis (as a German Jagdtiger). The main weapon was the same 105mm (with autoloader) of Ho-Ri I version I. A 20mm AA machine gun was istalled on top of engine compartment. It’s possible that the frontal armor was thick 125mm (no sloped) and only 25mm on sides.

L’Esercito giapponese sviluppò una seconda versione dell’Ho-Ri I. Questa versione non aveva una corazza frontale inclinata e montava un cannone da 47 millimetri sullo scafo. La casamatta era stato installato al centro del telaio (come lo Jagdtiger tedesco). L’arma principale era lo stesso 105 millimetri (con caricatore automatico) dell’Ho-Ri versione I. Una mitragliatrice anti aerea da 20 millimetri venne istallata sulla parte superiore del vano motore. E ‘possibile che la corazza frontale fosse di 125 millimetri di spessore (non inclinata) e solo 25 millimetri sui lati.
