The Type 3 retained the same hull and suspension of the Type 97 but in a large new turret the Type 3 mounted one Type 3 75 mm gun, one of the largest guns ever to be fitted on a Japanese vehicle during the Second World War. The Type 3 gun was based off of the Japanese Type 90 Field Gun which itself was based on the French 1919 75 mm Schneider Mountain gun. The Type 3 was designed to combat the American M4 Sherman, a tank which was far superior to any tank of the Imperial Japanese Army.
The main gun of Chi-Nu was Type 3 75 mm Tank Gun with caliber of 75 mm,barrel length of 2.883 m (L38.4),EL angle of fire of -10 to +25 degrees ,AZ angle of fire : - ,muzzle velocity of 680 m/s and penetration of 90 mm/100 m, 65 mm/1,000 m
Type 3 Medium Tank Chi-Nu was urgently developed to cope with the M4 Sherman. Originally, the next tank to Chi-He was the Type 4 Medium Tank Chi-To. However, the development of Chi-To delayed and a stopgap tank was required. The development of Chi-Nu started in May 1944 and it was finished in Oct. It took only a half year, as Japanese engineers rushed work. Chi-Nu was produced until the war ended. Chi-Nu was the last tank that was deployed in the Japanese tank forces.
The Type 3 was allocated to the Japanese home islands to defend against an Allied Invasion that never materialised and therefore, never saw combat. According to the newest Japanese sources, approx. 200 were built.
