Since I'd rather use an existing thread than create another one...

Just changes to existing fluff text:

The Type 3 Medium Tank Chi-Nu was a medium tank of the Imperial Japanese Army . Like the Type 1 Chi-He, this tank was an improved version of the Type 97 Chi-Ha. It incorporated a Type 3 75 mm tank gun, one of the largest Japanese tank guns used during the war.*
*
The Chi-Nu did not see combat. All of the 144 to 166 built were retained for the defense of the Japanese Homeland in anticipation of an Allied invasion which never occured.*

The Type 4 Chi-To medium tank resulted from the same Summer 1943 specification as the Type 5 Chi-Ri, originally being designed as a "low end" vehicle with a 57mm L48.5 gun (one prototype was completed with this armament) and massing about 25t to complement the 35t Type 5 in armored units.*
*
In April 1944, it was decided to redesign it to carry the more powerful 75mm L56 gun earmarked for the Type 5, and combat weight rose to 29.5t. Despite being the most advanced Japanese wartime tank to reach production, shortages resulted in only six chassis being manufactured and only two were completed with neither seeing combat before the war ended.*
*
If the war had continued, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Kobe Steel had been scheduled to produce 25 to 35 Chi-To a month from September 1945 to February 1946, for a total of 200~ tanks produced by March 1946.*

The Type 5 medium tank Chi-Ri resulted from a Summer 1943 specification by the Japanese Army. The focus of the new medium tank was shifted from infantry-cooperation to an anti-tank weapon, with the following specifications: 75mm L56 gun, 75mm maximum frontal armor, 40 km/hr top speed and 35t combat weight. The enormous turret was to accommodate a semi-automatic loader for the gun. On 25 April 1943, Osaka Army Arsenal received the contract to produce 5 prototypes, (4 in September 1944 and 1 in October 1944), with mass production planned to begin in 1945.*
*
However, in April 1944 it was decided to upgun the the Type 4 Chi-To to carry the same 75mm Gun as the Type 5; and development of the Type 5 was halted to concentrate on the Type 4 since it's 29.5t weight could be lifted by the 30t derricks on Japanese Wartime Standard Freighters, as opposed to the Type 5's 35t weight. The lone Type 5 Chi-Ri prototype was found incomplete at war's end.*
