    IDEAL JUNGLE TANK

    The Ha-Go tank was only 2.06m (6ft 9in) wide. It could negotiate narrow jungle tracks and the back streets of Asian cities with ease. It only weighed 7.4 tons and could cross most weak bridges, unlike heavier Allied tanks.

    SIMPLE SUSPENSION SYSTEM

    The Ha-Go tank was fitted with two bell crank scissor system paired bogie wheels on each side. If damaged, these could easily be replaced. The drive sprocket for the track was fitted at the front of the tank.
