Introduction

当時の日本陸軍の主力戦車、九七式中戦車、通称「チハ車」。
列強の新型戦車との対機甲戦闘には不向きでしたが、数多く量産され日本機甲部隊の主力となりました。占守島の戦いでは、戦車第11連隊で多くの犠牲を出しつつ奮戦しています。
単独では海上機動できませんが、接岸擱座揚陸能力を持つ二等輸送艦などに搭載することで、着上陸戦闘が可能です。

Mechanics

Army Units behave similarly to other "Landing Equipment" against Installations. They:

Are only used against Installations.
Can only be equipped on "LST" type ships (a sub LHA type).
Provide great damage boost against all installation types.
Can be a component of a "nuke" setup.

Additionally, when attacking an installation, the attack animation makes the ship physically move across the screen like other Landing Equipment, as it is a "landing craft" itself.

Notes

Not to be confused with other "Landing Equipment/Tanks" (see here).
