Type 4 Ho-Ro SPG (Japanese)

Description

The Ho-Ro was a Japanese self propelled gun of WWII that had been inspired by the German Grille. Based on the chassis of a Chi-Ha, it mounted a Type 3 150mm howitzer in an open casemate. 

The combination of open casemate, thin armour (max. 25mm) and a lack of secondary armament, meant it was vulnerable in close combat. 

Only 12 Ho-Ro SPGs were completed, but they saw action in the Philippines Campaign and on Okinawa.
