This convinced the army of the need for a more powerful gun. The following change order looked closely at the next medium tank shortly before this vehicle was completed. In the change order sent to the tank research committee, Showa 14 were design conditions "for the next tank`s turret, even if taking the 57mm cannon into account, further research will be made into firepower. The caliber, if by no choice, will be no smaller than 47mm. The likelihood of being pressed into tank battles in future wars is something that should be considered." This tank's experimental 47mm tank cannon was derived from the research results of the "Experimental type 97 47mm cannon" and the "experimental 47mm cannon". From June 1940, a completed cannon of the experimental 47mm cannon begun various testing and in September, the experimental 47mm tank cannon was mounted on a Type 98 Chi-Ho turret. The turret was then mounted on a Type 97 Chi-Ha's hull and underwent testing.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEZaloga200714_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEZaloga200714-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/Type_1_47_mm_tank_gun" class="mw-redirect" title="Type 1 47 mm tank gun">Type 1 47 mm tank gun</a> was designed specifically to counter the Soviet tanks.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEZaloga200714_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEZaloga200714-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The intention behind the machine gun being mounted in the forward left side of the turret is not clearly known, but it may be akin to a coaxial machine gun. A coaxial machine gun is placed alongside the main armament on the same axle. With that setup, when using the main cannon, the machine can could help predict where the main cannon's fire would land or suppress the enemy while loading the main armament. The machine gun mounted in the Type 98 turret was not a belt-fed type, but rather the Type 97 tank-mounted heavy machine gun, which used 20-round magazines. This presented a limitation in sustaining continuous firing attacks. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mobility_and_testing">Mobility and testing</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Type_98_Chi-Ho_medium_tank&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Mobility and testing"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:IJA_experimental_tank_Type98_chi-ho_02.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/31/IJA_experimental_tank_Type98_chi-ho_02.JPG/220px-IJA_experimental_tank_Type98_chi-ho_02.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="159" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/31/IJA_experimental_tank_Type98_chi-ho_02.JPG/330px-IJA_experimental_tank_Type98_chi-ho_02.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/31/IJA_experimental_tank_Type98_chi-ho_02.JPG 2x" data-file-width="347" data-file-height="250" /></a><figcaption>Type 98 Chi-Ho being pulled from tank test bed</figcaption></figure> <p>The engine mounted in the tank was a Mitsubishi 120 HP diesel engine.<sup id="cite_ref-taki_1-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-taki-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Also, it was the first Japanese made tank to use a hydraulic system in the steering system. </p><p>Up until then, some advances over the Chi-Ha variants can be seen, but some aspects in the tank hull were still lagging behind. A sled was attached to the rear part of the hull. This is commonly seen on <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a> and inter-war tanks. It was thought that by extending the length of the hull, it gained the benefit of crossing trenches, but in that, there was a problem. As a tank mounts a sled, it becomes tail heavy (center of weight shifts backwards) and that presented uncertainty when crossing wide trenches. By becoming tail heavy, the rear portion of the suspension would undertake a greater load and thus wear out faster. Furthermore, the somewhat increase in weight would reduce mobility. With the applied limitations on the tank's weight, it is not believed that the armor protection level could have been improved. Without a cupola, the ability to observe outside would have been worse than the Chi-Ha. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Mitsubishi" title="Mitsubishi">Mitsubishi</a> and Jidosha Kogyo completed the first two prototypes in 1940 and the Kokura and Sagami Arsenals produced two more the following year.<sup id="cite_ref-taki_1-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-taki-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After field tests, the tank was not selected for production.
