Vehicle Description

The Kame is a Tier IX Japanese medium tank with an unusual autoloader. It offers a very short intra-clip reload but poor accuracy, making continuous fire more effective in close combat. When the gun is cooled, the clip can be fired with much better accuracy, though with longer pauses between shots.

Historical Reference

A project for a Japanese medium tank developed in 1945 to counteract Allied and Soviet medium and heavy tanks. The designers strove to apply the most successful technical innovations of various tank-building schools. The vehicle had torsion-bar suspension, good sloped hull armor, and a powerful gun. Due to its peculiar turtle-shell-like appearance, the new tank was given the name Kame (Japanese for "turtle"). Engineers had the separate task of increasing the rate of fire. To do this, they mounted the gun with a special external radiator meant to significantly reduce barrel heating. The new tank had good prospects, but the Japanese did not manage to build a prototype before their surrender.
