Type-05 Maru-Go

The Type-05 (05式戦車), also known as the Maru-Go, is a main battle tank of the Yamatai Imperial Army. It was built by Mitsushishi Heavy Industries as a replacement for the earlier Type-61. Despite its archaic appearance on the surface, the Type-05 is highly mobile and designed for modern armoured ground warfare, and is well armed and heavily armoured while still cheap to produce. The conventional design of the tank builds on but does not deviate from centuries-old tank designs, and in this respect the Type-05 is highly representative of Yamataian military design philosophy.
