CFS Macro Chi-Ha Medium Tank CFS Version of a WWII ground vehicle. The Type 97 medium tank Chi-Ha was a medium tank used by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War, at Nomonhan against the Soviet Union, and the Second World War. It was the most widely-produced Japanese medium tank of WWII, with about 26mm thick armor on its turret sides, and 33mm on its gun shield, considered average protection in the 1930s. The 57mm main gun was a carry over from the 1933 Type 89 medium tank, and was designed to support the infantry, while the 170 hp diesel Mitsubishi was a capable engine for the tank in 1938. But was less effective after 1941 than most Allied tank designs. The Type 97s low silhouette, asymmetric turret, semicircular radio aerial on the turret roof, complicated hull

The suspension was derived from the Type 95 light tank, but used six road wheels instead of the Type 95s four road wheels. The Type 97 medium tank was manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (1, 224 units) and Hitachi Industries (355 units), as well as some limited production in the Armys Sagami Arsenal. A total of 2, 123 vehicles was constructed from 1938 to 1943, of which 1162 units were the standard Type 97 and 930 units were the improved Type 97-kai (Shinhoto) version. The remainder was various specialized variants produced in small numbers, such as recovery, flail mine clearers, engineer, bridge layers, 20 mm and 75 mm anti-aircraft and self-propelled guns. I have created this api macro with Easy Object Designer (EOD), Version 2. 2. 85 (Matthias Br ckner), to generate the static Chi-Ha Medium Tank, with use of BMP transparent textures, oriented to CFS scenery designers and that they work with Airport 2. 0 or later. This macro was tested only in CFS1 sceneries, but I believe that can work without problems in CFS2-3 and FS2000-2002. All mine API macros, could be included on objects libraries with crash detection (for CFS missions), but must be distributed with the original API-MACRO copyright.
