Ho-Ni III Tank Destroyer

The Ho-Ni III was developed in 1944 as a successor to the Ho-Ni I & II. Unlike its predecessors, it featured a fully enclosed casemate for crew protection, and an improved gun - the Type 3 75mm (the same gun fitted to the Chi-Nu tank).

Material shortages meant that the original order of 57 was never completed, with only 31 having been built by the end of the war. A few of these were deployed to combat units, but most were retained for the defence of the Home Islands.
